Comments on "On the Street....Shoulders, Paris"
I love it!
Wow! Her attitude is awesome! Jacket, pants, shoes and hair are really great, but what about this nail-color and tummy-showing?!
Wow!
What courage!
a little costume like though
This shows a look above a person. If she is not a designer then who is she......
the shoulders are merely secondary in this look.
That says a lot.
fun to look at but too costumey for the street. trying too hard.
The modesty panel on the tights! That is a innovation to be grateful for. I can't think of a smarter addition to women's clothing since pantyhose themselves.
wow i like it! apart from the exposed midriff. she looks a bit "costumey" but it still works for me :)
I'm going to describe this as "fairy tale chic." I like it, but the shoulders still remind me of Snow White, or something. I'd hate it if it weren't all black. It definitely takes a bold personality to wear that. I appreciate it.
At last, fashion with a capital F. I would tell her: Well done.
This is really unique, and, on her, totally HOT. She's fierce. Can I have her phone number, please?
I actually love it when people dress whithout considering what others might think...as extreme as it can be. Great look and character!
I'd love to see the top and pants worn with a slouchy cardigan--not necessarily black. Each item (coat, top, pants) calls so much attention to itself that the ensemble doesn't cohere--though I like each piece.
cool high shoulders although this doesnt fit for the street by day.
her all black style is cool-chic!
love the skirt, and the booties...and black tights...that all works fine...the rest of the outfit doesn't work too well.
I am completely astounded by the positive comments left here. Really?
I really hope this isn't driving fashion.
she looks fabulous!
ISH!!!
I agree with anna on this! people are always following the rules and most of all not being themselves. But with this brave soul, she dares to be different. She does like the commercial and lives above the influence
Bravo! Here's to not watering it down for the "streets". I would even add one of my big amber rings.
mmm, this gothic look features great with Irenas beauty!
She is great! I love it! I don't even care if it is a bit much for the streets, it's amazing and she can totally rock it.
Goodness. She wears margiela SO WELL! I would love to see MORE people dressed like this in the daytime.
From the waist down, I like it. The shoulders don't do it for me, and the exposed mid-riff doesn't really fit with the layers and boots, or well, at all actually. I never liked the exposed midriff look (except at the beach), even when it was very much the thing (when was that. . .late 90s? Early Aughts? I guess I've blocked it out.) Cute boots and leggings and skirt, though. That's a look I might copy!
is that Irina Lazareanu?
those margiela leggings/pants are sick
and her jacket is fabbbbb
chic goth-ish look. love it.
but not loving the peek-a-boo of the tummy.
but all together a sick look.
margiela forever!
Wheeee!! Love it. God bless costumey!
She is quite sexy--I think I would have a girl crush on her and take her for a nightcap at Le Palais de Tokyo...
When a woman dresses like this, she's ABSOLUTELY considering what others may think.
Welcome back, dear divas!
That is corageous, certainly...interesting but i'm not quite sure yet if I like it or not...maybe its because we can't see the back side of the coat...
risky.......and it works.
Gregory Smith said this reminded him of Snow White...
I see the Evil Queen.
I can't imagine seeing a person wearing this in a crowd of denim and t-shirts. Terrifying but indeed intriguing.
I wish more women would employ that innovative way of avoiding the dreaded camel-toe. Bravo!
Cool look. I appreciate costumey. I dig it!
I love the tights and booties, but i think the shoulders and midriff are a terrible choice. she's a very brave soul though! props to her. I'm hopeful to know what the rest of her wardrobe looks like.
Nope,not feeling this at all.But if she is on her way to some costume show,well then I understand.
Love the boots, love the black...
Very dramatic does day... gutzy - I like!!
Visionary, for real!! Tight goth look!!
Halloween isn't for two more weeks.
to Zana Bayne :
you're absolutely right ! It's a Martin Margiela coat she's wearing...
Belgian designers rule !!
the shoulders on this jacket is amazing. i love the drama it creates!
I love everything but wouldn't dare wear the coat, it's really nice and looks great..on HER. I find it too costumey for the street, esp. for daytime. Just wondering though, was there anything special going on when this photo was taken (besides Paris fashion week)? Or was this really one of her "everyday"outfits?
Superb! Such an awesome look. Except for the cigarette which means her wonderful ensemble smells like smoke...
neat! It looks like the blogger @ Kingdom of Style, but maybe it's not her..
Sometimes this is how I'm dressed in my mind.
On the outside I'm dressed more like the gal below.
I wonder how these folks dress in their daydreams. Or should I coin them "sartorial-dreams"?
True-Blood!
Vamp-Goth
The pants are interesting. Is it an all in one pants/skirt?
A gutsy combination, but I think its been pulled off.
"people are always following the rules and most of all not being themselves"
That's more than a little presumptuous. Just because someone doesn't want to look like a walking art exhibit does not mean that s/he isn't being him/herself.
I love the outfit apart from the exposed tummy (too 90s! too soon!), and I wonder where she's going.
I am loving that silhouette!
I love how it's hard to tell what's going on with this outfit because everything's black, the pants(trousers) have got an interesting panel at the front and the jacket is unusually structured. It's obviously a very complex, thought-out outfit, but she somehow manages to make it look very underkey and normal which is clever.
Ooh, how I love puffy sleeves, and this gorgeous girl takes it to a whole new level, so theatrical! I might crack out my overly puffed sleeve Costume National blazer, inspired by her fearlessness :)
Yeah, it's slightly "costumey" but I love it. She works it. I don't care if it's 9 a.m. She is a breath of fresh air. The sexy evil stepmother in an S&M fairy tale. She punish me any time.
I would wear everything she's got on but not all together. I really love the jacket in all its drama. The tights are so unique and crazy. I'm not sure about the top because I don't know what it is but it's not likely I'd wear it and bare my navel around town.
I dig her hair and her nails and her great profile.
She's perfect as she is.
I wish I had the nerve to wear this outfit. She looks stunning and if I were her, I'd be proud to wear it anywhere.
definitely vampire goth... very Parisian true blood (would never fly in the u.s. south, right?)
A study in how to wear black. Wonderful.
love!!!
IRINA IS HOT.
I know the story behind her pants :D I've seen them as jeans before. I believe they're inspired by the sillohette created by wearing stockings and a skirt together, and margiela intended to re-create this sillohette in 1 garment. Its a beautiful touch, but I think that the pants would be much more appreciated in a subtle, understated look.
Now if only he could merge shoes and socks together...that would be a timesaver
Rhys
Definitely not Irina.
I wonder how long it will be until the exposed midriff makes a full-fledged comeback. I was never a fan, but I'm always interested to see who will take the risk.
The theme song from The Jetsons is now running through my head...
So encouraging to see someone dressing like this!
What is all this crazy talk about night/day wear? That's so so so old fashioned. People should do what they want- all the time.
I love it so much I won't even hate. Instead I'll congratulate. That is the chic-est look I've seen on this blog in while. Uhm, I'll love anyone who can tell me who on earth made those leggings with the tummy panel skirt thing.
GASP mon dieu!!!!!! minus everything but the jacket.
where could i ever find such a jacket? i feel such an obsession toward it i might have to make one myself.
this reminds me of that episode of will and grace where karen and her nemesis lady both want shoulder transplants
thank god for 'costumey'.
finally a relatively captivating image.
No one would look at her twice in Paris. That's what makes her so brilliant, well and Paris too. Unfortunately the mass conservativists in NYC wouldn't dig this very much. She's probably Carine Roitfeld's assistant. Or she should be. She's brilliant because she just is.
simply divine.
Special but lovely !!
Wow, that´s some bad ass shoulders!
I love it. It also reminds me of 1990s Seoul fashion.
she look like Inrina's style
lagerfeld's idea of a linebacker
That coat is FABULOUS!
Man, she RUINED it with this peek of her tummy. Give me a break! Only on the beach, sweets.
Other than that, what a command she has! Incredible profile.
i love this! it's like gareth pugh for real life.
I WANT THOSE LEGGINS. Pure genius ... why didn't someone think about this before we got assaulted visually by camel toes? Where can I get these in NY?
very bold i love it!
This seems somewhat inspired by PJ Harvey's Victorian Gothic look for her White Chalk album last year:

so far she's the best classy goth i've ever seen!so cool, so vampire, so spooky yet so beautiful...j'aime beaucoup cette madame, grrr!!!
I don't see costumy at all, I see freakin couture! I love this look. Not everyone could pull this off, but I think she looks really edgy - in the good way!
That's Irina Lazareanu, isn't it?
Je crois reconnaitre l'endroit, proche du Palais de Tokyo, musée que j'adore. Amazing pictures, as usual.
A bientôt.
She's got a truly gorgeous profile...
One of my favourites.
Looks fab as ever...her name's Yasmina Dexter. Does PR in London.
she looks fabulous!Love the proportions of the outfit,she wears it effortlessly.

i have margiela envy!
She obviously has a thing for margiela.....
her name is caroline, the girl at gnarlitude knows her
http://www.gnarlitude.com/2008/10/25/and-she-offers-me-sleep-under-her-black-wings/
She's amazing. I would die if I saw someone wearing this on the streets of my city.
ROCK IT GIRL.
