Comments on "On the Street...The Graphic Designer, Moscow"
i wonder how much a person's natural beauty affects viewer's perception of her or his dressing sense
always love the bold of red black and white, plus love the short hair, match the attitude. nice siluet from the pants
Love the rings and her red shoes but I find the pants terribly unflattering. I'm sure she has a lovely slim figure underneath but here her legs appear to be very short and stumpy.
A bit weird looking outfit, but interesting. I like the colors on her clothes that goes well with her hair and skin.
I really like it!
What I like most is the portrait on your pics.
наконец-то Москва! (Moscow at last!- it`s great!)
Ann from Moscow :)
beautiful girl...
Love the pants
Funny how the combination of red and black look very Russian. Her face also
How do you get them so relax to take the photo?
Ooh! How I love this shot! The pop of red and those pants (I could never pull-off drop-crotch, but she loks gorgeous!) and the backdrop...just gorgeous!
the top looks good. the pants are heinous. i don't understand dropped crotch...it would be so much better as a skirt!
I see you enjoy your stay in Moscow!
This woman is very stylish...I love her red lips in combination with her nude make-up. Her pants are wonderful and the socks in her red ballerina's give the extra touch!
I am looking forward to the other pictures Sart.
love everything !!!
especially the pants and shoes
and how she combined the colors it's great,
the red goes well with her straight attitude
...photo 10 points! outfit 10 points! model 10 points!!
xxxx
post-modern chic!
simpleza=belleza
I really like this picture and the style of model. Very good!
She wears that outfit with aplomb.
wow, she's beautiful. I personally hate the backpacker-finding-yourself-in-India-trousers though.
Ra Ra Red!
She is stunning! What a great shot.
Love he pants and the colour combination. Besides the thick socks with the red shoes look fabulous...Nice shot.

Em Portugal também gostamos de ver pessoas bem vestidas.Temos pena de não ter oportunidade de ver pessoas de Lisboa. Diáriamente consulto este blog e adoro o que vejo.
great pants.
i like the way she mixed the colors.
the red color is pefect.
I love it
wow, I think she looks a bit like leslie caronè
A beautiful girl.
I am unsure if I really like this style of pant. I don't mind a slouchy, paper-bag type of pant with a tapered, cropped leg. I find a crotch this low, whilst very trendy, ultimately unflattering.
I do love the use of colour in this outfit, it ties the whole look together and saves this otherwise gorgeous girl.
Stop! Hammer & Sickle Time. A superdope homegirl from the M-Town.
Adorable.)
Looking through archives, I was wondering why there weren`t any pictures from Russia...And finally here it is!Just wonderful.
The sophisticated variant of the previous look.
Not sure about the outfit, but she's definitely got originality...and a gorgeous face to go with it.
just perfect
glamourous, yet not in an obvious way. i love the shape that the pants create. totally not what i expected from moscow.
sart, when are you coming to london again?
Lovely !
J'adore son fute, le rouge et sa coupe de cheveux. Juste les chaussettes grises qui sont pas top.
i love her pants =)
Love the colours and her rings, her pale blue nail polish. Those pants will look great when she moves and i like what she's done with proportion on the top half of her body. Cute shoes. Beautiful doorway too - there are so many architectural details in Moscow that remind you you really are in a place where east meets west. Hope you're having a great time, Sart.
I love the red on her, she wears it very well. These pants have been in several collections and are sure to become the next mass fashion item. I wondered about them in the 80s and I wonder now: what do they do for the silhouette? It seems to me they make legs seem shorter, and subjects squat. Unless you are doing MC Hammer's sideways crab walk, there is really no use for these pants. Looking for time to prove me right, Jorge from W Palm Beach
Wonderful combination of my favourite colours, i love the red shoes with the grey socks!
I wish her in-seam was higher, she's so cute.
HA ha
this is it, i'm convinced that i'm moving to moscow.
is thatthe sane girl as the one in fur and sweatshirt? i like her pants. Are they sweatpants?
She *really* needs a different color nail polish. The combination of the red cardi with that nail color is just not working for me.
However, the color of her lips works like a dream with the color of the cardi.
those pants are so in right now.
Oh, ok... please tell me some people won't find this FAaaaaaabulous. That is not cute. Change the pants for ANYTHING and I would love her laid back sense of coordination but other than saying she must be brave, I can't comment further.
i absolutely love those pants. until now i have only seen pants with a long crotch on men. she really pulls them off and puts a great russian flair into them.
love her colour
Harem pants are so difficult to pull off but with her slender gamine look they work so beautifully. Love the grey socks too.
Very unique and interesting! It takes a lot to become bold and wear those pants, but then again it appears to me that European woman have a more mature, ladylike,put together, unique look than most American woman. I give her props!
I love the low-crotched knickers like this, but I've still got to admit... it's such a strange silhouette. It's not the most flattering thing, but that is probably largely due to what we normally see and usually consider flattering to be.
Clean, bold, bright, distinct. Sure looks like a graphic designer to me. I'm glad this was posted also, in the hope that others will realize not all graphic designers wear black or grey turtlenecks and slim dress pants.
That is cute. I'm not sure what's going on with her pants though. Is there something coming down behind or is the crotch of the pants that low?
I really like the pants. I saw some like that in Barcelona. And I'm taken aback by the socks...but it is Moscow...chillin' temperatures right?
Brilliant!
I'm not crazy about the outfit but i like it, although she seems to be cold, which makes it pointless to me. She has an amazing face.
I can't tell in the pant crotch is almost to her knees or if it's a skirt-over-pant. If it's skirt-over-pant its a great look. Red shoes & sweater really stand out. Cute factor-100%! "The Ukraine girls really knock me out..."
fab! fab! fab!!
I love the sweatpants. Got to pose myself in them and snap a few shots of the kidz on the streets wearing them here in Amsterdam.
love the cardigan, the shirt underneath and the shoes. the bright rhubarb color is huge this season. but whats with the crotch of her pants coming down the floor and when did it become acceptable to wear bulky socks with heels? she looks like she lacks self confidence with that shy pose.
Those pants have to go. I'm having MC Hammer flashbacks as I write this.
Lovely girl..top is good...bottom is too slouchy.. tight leggings under the skirt needed...
great photo, love the exposure on this one and the contrast of the red and grey background.
The new style low slung trousers are not only in fashion but have a Russian theme.
Beautiful haircut & color use, but please don't tell me MC Hammer pants (or as we called them in Turkey, 7-day pants) are coming back in fashion!
oooh love the red, black and grey together.
drop crotch pants are not my thing, but she looks amazing.
i like the style of the pants with the red shoes. her hairs pretty awesome and the over all outfit is well thought out and cute. those pants look really comfortable! i cant believe people from Russia have got this great style! beautiful pictures Sart.
Stunning haircut and face, fine sense of color--when if ever will I get used to those pants?
Ah! A much better way to wear this long rise/low-slung jodhpur shape.
Fitted this way, the trousers create negative space between the legs (and not in the sausaging effect of the Moscowian below), as well as creating a column of the body.
Colour accent and proportions -- of course this girl's a graphic designer! Use of colour seems consistent with the rules of Russian Constructivism (ha ha!).
One thing does bother me though -- the socks! Wish they were a more saturated black.
Ohhh no not those pants again!!
what huge difference would a black normal pair of pants do...
love her face -very french amelie...
love the MC Hammer pants, lots of those in Barcelona as well but mostly on men. The Dorothy Wizard of Oz shoes are a shining beacon in this dismal economy.
Mmm... I like the top half of the outfit and the cute shoes, but I'm not feeling the pants. They're interesting, but it looks like she's standing in a hole...
love the trousers and the color combination
Like the color combination:red+black+her blue fingernails
she has a nice haircut :)
Love it! Not my personal style of shoe, but the colors, the silhouette are so great. I have been trying to find zouave-style pants for ages now! This girl gets it all right.
No crack on your great photography or this woman's outfit, but her look and the background palette stands out from her waist up. Makes me wonder what a closer shot of this same pose would have revealed.
FINALLY MOSCOW!!!!!!!!! YES!!!! More Russian fashion, more more more. Everything in fashion is Russian these days; fur, jewels, ...fur, red, fur. Vive la Russe!
beautiful photograph
she is gorgeous
and harem pants! loves!
i think the pants would look better in motion... but standing still, with the look of shortened legs, is creepy. I really like her nail polish and simplicity with everything else.
from san diego, A
Sart... I looove your shot. It's great how you capture mood so well. Interesting and beautiful in a way. Weird also! I guess just not my aesthetic, but nothing wrong with it necessarily. I do have to say that it looks like she pooped in her pants. : )
Comme des Garcons meets Moscow!
haha! i know that girl!!!
Ah, gorgeous. Stay home, Russian girls!
Wow I love the red, I wonder if it is orangey red in real life? I love that color it's so unexpected and vibrant, for one who doesn't wear much color, this is an amazing outfit! Check out my blog for more fashion updates!
http://the-velveteenrabbit.blogspot.com/
I hate those damn Harem pants. Just because it's trendy doesn't mean it suits you. Or anyone!
But her shoes are fantastic (look vintage, I likey) and even with socks which I also think is tricky, they look great.
Just wish those pants weren't the "height"of fashion right now. As super comfy as they look!
She wears the drop crotch well.
Solo a ella le queda bien ese corte de cabello
This girl wears this outfit with style.
loooove the pants!
best shot,nice girl...
wonderful use of color
She makes the pants look no so MC Hammer like.
I am afraid of imitators though.
They are perhaps the least flattering pants ever conceived......unless you are tall and thin
ah! moscow! i would love to see more of these!
As I've said before, if the person was a 'plain jane' wearing the same thing her photo wouldn't be taken. Us average looking people have good fashion sense, too.
i agree with first anon-- let's see some variety in the subjects.
Beautiful girl. I love the colors on her, her hair, her lovely face, I even kina' like the nails. But the pants.... oooh, what they do to a body. Short legs, loooooong torso. Borderline diaperish. It's very weird. And yet not much can take away from this girl's beauty.
Hello,
thank you for showing an unexpected side of Moscow. I am curious about the tomoorow´s pics. I think you might change my point of view about what´s going on at russia´s fashion (sub)-culture.
I like this look here a lot. stylish, comfy, individual though classy. The opposite of fur, glitter and kitsch. Thank you again.
The red shoes seem a bit to matching with the sweater - they draw my eye away from her face - where I would rather look.
The red and black is so perfect on her.
i think that your blog is super interesting!
love it
Anya, you're such a beauty!
The socks and the pants fit as everything else - cause they add a touch of humor and imperfection.
Nasta
Happy Halloween! What are you going as? My boyfriend and I are going as a cow. He's going to be the front half and I'm going as the back end.
trés Audrey Tatou...
Is she dressing up as M.C.Hammer for Halloween?
'Cause that's what I'm gonna be for Halloween. way to go, girl
Pas mal les souliers rouges!!
Bringing back the hammer pants I see. I had a pair back in the wonderful 80's. Well besides MC Hammer and a ninja coming to mind I think she looks nice.
Her clothes is matter of her attitude - and that is bold and brave. Some others would look slouchy and common but she looks confident and comfortable;)
I hate those pants!
People wear them in Buenos Aires too... I think they're soooo unflattering!
I like the top parts and the shoes, though. She looks well put together.
Very cool! Difficult style to pull off. So thumbs up for her!
I've seen Lubov Azria rock a pair of these drop crotch type pants and she looked fabulous...but I still think it's a very European look.
while in Moscow you got to go to Win Zavod check out some art and people-watch.
This is really, really awesome. The little red heels and gray socks really complete the look.
I don't like her pants because they're extremely unflattering. On the other hand, if she was wearing "normal" pants/skirt, she'd look boring. So, overall, I'd say I don't like this outfit but the girl is pretty.
Coulour coordination that works. She looks very comfortable; in her clothes and most importantly in her skin.
The color of that sweater is gorgeous.
She looks great with the Turkish pants. I like the early adopters.
Love This!! She looks young and chic and modern. Her hair is great too. She looks very comfortable and her face shows a great calmness. I love the 'pop' of colour and the contrasting blue nails. I also love the street-scape and how she stands out from it and at the same time is very much a part of it. Lovely. Moscow is showing great promise. Thanks Scott - worth the wait.
Eew, poopy pants...but I like the blue nails and the 2 rings
great photo & composition but the pants remind me of looking in a circus mirror
I like how you added in the title "Graphic Desinger". It makes us look at her in a different way. Stereotypically, she is not supposed to dress like this, which makes the picture even better.
Overall she looks great, I can even forgive the pants, but those shoes with socks is really wrong. My objection to the pants is that they look look like babies nappies. Reminds me of Humphrey B Bear and his full nappy look.
I love the colors, but I don't love the silhouette of the pants. I really don't love that the crotch is down to her knees -- is she wearing a skirt over pants???
The pants make her look like a monkey but she is pride and that saves her.
at least from these first two moscow postings, i'm starting to see this idea of "re-invented glamour" (i don't know what else to call it). sweats paired with furs, and now drop-crotch pants worn elegantly. hmm...
i like it!
can't wait for more moscow
Red, white and black...nice!!
I don't love that kind of pants, but well, they look good on her.
Haha, and I love the little detail of the light blue nails...it looks like she painted them like that for a different, previous outfit, but they also look good here...they are a touch of fun.
Looks like she got the pants at MC Hammer's yard sale.
Is she a graphic desginer?
I like it that she's got her arms folded.
cool pic!
Blue nail polish is striking against her pale skin and dark hair. The clothing colors suit her. But I truly don't understand the pants. Style should flatter the body, and the cut of these pants do not...a trend gone too extreme for good style.
Agree with Hellena, she looks like a Russian Amélie!
Bonjour,
I love the black and red combination works with her coloring. But the pants are just mauvais. I also think a smile would help. Lol. - Zoé
there's the vraka pants again - everyone in Sydney is wearing them!!!
she's got beautiful high cheekbones!
oh the nail varnish, the nail varnish!! it absolutely perfects the outfit! I can't believe all the bad comments about this quintessentially halal nail colour! When it becomes the new chanel kaleidoscope/dior black sequins people will suddenly love it.
Her drop crotch pants are perfect!!! I need them!!
those pants look like they'd be hard to walk in.
love the shoes though.
Cooool powder blue nail polish!
Not to mention the great pops of red--I love cherry red! Great, stylish pic.
The blue nails cinch the entire look together. The pants are great, they create a great shape. She looks designed. Too bad about the socks, awful.
Final word- NO to the pants . Not ever, not on anyone.
YES yes yes to everything else.
This is why one needs a certain someone to look at them before they leave the house!
I like the sweater.
I'm never a fan of direct colors matching up, but this is so subtle and effortlessly chic that it's perfect. Great capture.
Love the colors. HATE the pants. Hate. Hate hate.
no....No....NO!!!
Genie pants cannot become stylish. I won't allow it.
Let me start off by saying that this is nice picture. love the red shoes, red cardigan, and the white T as well. I'm very fashion forward, but just don't like unflattering clothes. the pants are different, but look very bad. goes to say that different isn't always good.
Cool lady, good color-combiation! But where are russian Ivanas?Why you have only femal-models?
This picture is fabulous, thou a bit cliche (red and black), but it works for her!
Unlike 80% of comments, i DO think that those low crotch pants work wonders! You can't just see the picture (even if it looks great, imho), you've got to picture her moving! It doesn't shorten her legs! on the contrary, it extends them while moving, because it's so slouchy that creates the ilusion of longer legs.
I just can't stand americans (mostly - and I'm sorry, it's not my intention to hurt anybody's feelings) who deny alternative styles until the very second they see them on a major european brand!
The same goes for the naipolish colour! - it may not be the right one for this outfit, but it's beautiful!
Go Sart! you really rock!
When will you visit this fabulous country called Portugal? And this quintesential city Oporto? You'll just love it, I assure you!
The red is lovely, but THOSE PANTS... I'll be glad when the 'full diaper' look goes out of fashion in all it's forms...
Love the face and the attitude...
Please Hammer,Don't Hurt'em!
i'm sorry, but it looks like she has a load in her pants
she looks lovely.
for those who haven't worn drop crotch pants before, i suggest you try it...
they are actually super comfortable..more so than regular pants.
hprince 6:43 AM -
I know it was not your intention to offend and your "statement" has some truth to it, but could you generalize and promote stereotypes any further? And besides, it isn't just Americans who do that...
I love everything about the outfit (the shoes!) except for the drop crotch pants. And as an American, I assure you that I will not like it even if it becomes a trend among major European labels. Drop crotch pants - not for me.
I am really not feeling those pants! It makes her look horrible. But again, she makes it look somewhat bearable!
is she wearing jhodpur pants? the jhodpur is a guilty pleasure - it's comfortable but also got MC Hammer factor
-VD-
refreshing style!
She's beautifull! Hope she get turquoise socks...
i love this outfit, every little detail of it and i think that's also why it looks so perfect - because of the details.
the rings, the matching red of the shoes, cardigan and her lips, the nailpolish(!), the haircut and of course the jodhpurs! (i really don't understand why so many people here don't like them.. is it just because they're not used to seeing them?)
simply lovely!
love LOVE.
the shoes and socks are my favorite part.
Looks great on her, but only a select few can pull off those pants.
I like what these pants are doing to people - making statements without knowing what it is. Making action and emotions - hate em or love em. This week I'm getting them!
Laura
My first thought is didn't MC Hammer start this look?
Funny to read how the pants of the woman are both loved and hated. I have never heard of another type of clothing that people reacted on so extremely. I myself have a couple of sarouel pants (or aladdin pants if you like) and I think you can't really judge them unless you have worn some yourself. Maybe they look strange, but the feeling of wearing these pants is amazing. Thank you Sart, for showing such a nice example!
gorgeous outfit. im loving the trousers, i really think theyre what make the outfit work. with a skirt, she'd look like a schoolgirl and not half as interesting as she does now.
It's like the pants from the NOM*D show they did this year at ANZFW
She really works the pants. Never seen someone wear it so well.
ah, so argentina is not the only country in the world suffering from the genie/hammerpant redux look. it's been all over buenos aires for the last 3 months. i guess i'll brace myself for when this trend makes it to the us.
Love the model's look...HATE the pants! Nuff said =)
what's the deal with these pants? not very flattering at all, they are distorting a perfectly good pair of legs, what is going on????
I think HAMMER pants are even better than this.
I was wondering how to wear my churidar. That's an answer, but I'll have to look for more.
By the way, it'll be nice if you do a book. I love street fashion and you've definitively got an eye for it.
I don't understand the popularity of this crotchline. It makes the wearer look short. Terrific cropped cardigan with that t-shirt, phenomenal haircut, and love her rings and nail color.
hammer pants were dumb in 1989 and they will be dumb in 2009. seriously! ohh...i forgot...they're not hammer pants...they're russian circus pants. where are the elephants?
i don't care how much people say they find the pants unflattering. these looked great at philip lim's show and i truly believe they will make way. i am already trying to shed a few pounds so i can be lean enough to pull these wonderful pants off! needless to say, i love her look.
this girl looks like she just stepped out of a russian avant garde painting of the 20's.love it.
her beauty is timeless.
i think with this one it's not about whether it's flattering or not, to me it's about oddity, shapes and getting us to see something we are not used to in terms or proportion. i like it more from that standpoint.
all i can say is those pants are hideous. But she's really pretty.
Pretty much informative.
I met several lovely russian females of various ages (20-50) and they all seemed to have numerous pairs of such pants.
peculiar style-wave!
stunning subject.
gorgeous outfit.
most beautiful backdrop.
can't fault it one bit.
The look is so good. The pants are heinous. I love this shot! Thank you for sharing this blog. To all graphic designer thank you for your great job.
