Comments on "On the Street...The Sculptor, Moscow"
Es une etole en fourrure?
She looks very sweet, I have always loved dark tights with dark shoes {very french}. Zoé
Structurally perfect.
amazing. she looks like a little girl, the way she's holding the shawl.
and i love the way the color of her tights complement the tones of navy of the shawl.
Nice and shy!
very pretty!!!!!
beautiful...
what a beautiful photograph! it's exquisite. The sculptor is so other worldly i feel it would be trite to comment on her clothes, however those prussian blue tights work really well. Wonderful, Sart, thank you.
it's her briefcase and blue legs that seal the deal for me.
-voyno
mmmmm......not sure about this. Almost works, but the elements are not quite right. Definite eastern bloc look to it. Do like the colours though...and her dress/coat. If she were in Paris she would have saved herself with the perfect shoes or boots. The whole image is harmonious and gentle....
owesome!
what a horrible building behind the girl.... daylight in moscow is almost grey.... :((((((
i love the way you see Russia!
thats not that too much glamourous as we used to think.
very interesting to find out ur impression from fashion week, as far as i know, You are visiting that event even without ur camera?
she's looking good.
she's an artist.
Those stockings! I really love this shot.. there is a Tim Burton vibe to it.
SARTORIALIST SHOT OF THE YEAR
I love it. The colours, the bag, the face, the hair.... Its all so right.
Vintage is a fashion trend in Moscow. I think you already noticed it.
I do not like much because his coat looks like a blanket from home, the rest I like a lot. Besos
Everything is so harmonious! Something is definitely happening here. The combination of grays and blues of the outfit mimicking the background are very interesting as well as the contrast of her luxurious fur shawl against the dreary chipped walls. Her facial expression and gesture also gives a dark sweet warmth to this photo.
Wow, what a silhouette - and what a face!
I can't decide which I love more: the beautiful fur cape, or the dinky briefcase (it's EXACTLY the right size).
Oh, the blue of the blue stockings is as dark and deep as Yves Klein's BLUE :-)
lovely fur! or is it a fur..thing? :)
looks very French indeed, just been in Paris so I can tell from what I have seen down there...
Adore her petrol-blue tights ; the color comes back in her fur scarf (love the *changeant* effect !)
This is just the sweetest pic, the rich purply grey tones set the mood......very filmic, I love the oddness of her hard square bag against all her softness......Perfect :)
she looks like a painting. that is how perfect the proportions actually are here. and your shot is brilliant as ever.
So far Moscow has been a breath of fresh air. Style with presonality. Nothing too trendy so far... Which is a good thing!
beautiful! with your photographs, it's less about the style and more about the magic created by the composition, colour, setting, mood, etc.
this is beautiful. almost painfully so.
Just, beautiful.
navy tights is so fresh
Very nice pix!
I like the mix of colors they all come together nicely. The black bag makes a good statement against the blue tights but then the shoes bring it all back together.
I like the small black briefcase and the modesty of the clothing in contrast to the fur coat.
oh my gosh
i ADORE her
i love how the whole look seems like it was washed and bled out in the rain~
Great... the face, the inocence, the purse. A great picture
I love her "blanket from home"!
-K
She seems so little and fragil, but what a look!!
i love your moscow girls. ive never seen those girls before. they are beautiful
I like everything about this photo, the composition, the background, the girl and her clothes. It seems like you caught her talking to herself; and understood Russian. ;- )
Love her
She looks like a girl from a story book...
the wrap is great and seems very versatile
She looks fantastic! :o)
I think she is adorable. Want bangs like that!
Love the muted colors; the rose-gray coat and blue-gray stockings. The colors are so harmonious and work very well with her complexion. It's really beautiful how the colors are repeated in the fur. This is the kind of beauty that mimics the beauty found in nature.
She's very cute. First impression was that she'd cleaned her brushes on her wrap, my favorite thing is the way the wrap relates to the background. Everything in the shot works beautifully, as if she's wearing her surroundings or is a part of them. Great photograph.
i love this look. the colors all brought together in the wrap. the blue tights with darker shoes. the fabric on the dress. her bangs. she's lovely and well put together.
I love the miniature brief case. It adds a boldness to the simple outfit.
Simply perfect. The pose, the clothes, the colours, tha background, the light, blue, vieolet, grey, a touch of yelow and black....
everything is so soft and pastel, I especially like the sharp and strong lines of her black suitcase, fine contrast!
that briefcase looks like a clarinet case... but i guess it's not likely to be one.
Interesting to see real Moscow and real old surroundings like this one, with tasteful charming young people.
I love the Moscow style, but am a little disappointed that, taking us to this new place, you decided to use an aperture that leaves the background so blurry! Please show us some Moscow while you are at it!
It is very difficult to find such background in today's reconstructed moscow.
Anyhow, this picture is more similar to the truth about Russian girls
i love how the whole look could be worn on an older woman and be considered frumpy, but this woman's beauty and body language and tiny briefcase make her look beautiful and unique.
This is just heavenly. She looks so effortlessly chic. She probably doesn't even know she is (which is the best kind!) But more than, she has that look that makes people around her (I, for one) want to get to know her a bit more.
magnifique!
This is more French than Russian a the petrol-blue stockings and the briefcase reminds me of early Alfred Hitchcock female characters; It seems the trip to Russia was a good idea;)
This makes me want fur. Off course recycled would make it better. ;)
she looks like a little doll
the muted colours are truly gorgeous and speak so loudly
that bag just brings it all together
The tones and that shawl. Yum,
i like her attitude and the colors are great, but again, the fur ruins it all
LOVELY! She looks so cute and girlie, but dangerous in a way. ; ) Those blue tights are gorgeous... I am just wondering what she is packing in that little brief case.
i'm loving the fashion sensibility of these moscow portraits - so subtly different than the other cities you frequent. please keep traveling the world to share these varied perspectives with us!
This is so innocent and sweet. I love the way she is standing. And the softness of her face…nice. I especially love the background. The wall behind her on the right matches her wrap. Gorgeous.
PERFECT shot, Sart. Just perfect. The framing of her upper half in the archway. The light blue painted brick mimicking the dark blue of the tights. So gorgeous.
And the girl - WOW. I'm so in love. I can just picture her reading with tons of blankets on a Sunday morning.
Sart - question, how did she come to pose like this? Did you suggest anything? I just can't imagine how someone who hasn't modeled would have an instinct to pull that wrap up to her mouth - it's SO PERFECT!
I have been following your blog since May and this photo is my favorite so far. It moves me as art. (The outfit is pretty close to art, too.)
THANK YOU.
this could be my favorite shot of yours. the yellow wall in the background makes it. i'm excited to see what else you have from moscow!
Oh it's unusual to see a look from Russia there!! nice
I want it not to be the last one
She looks so much like a little girl. The colors are both beautiful and sad.
I love the dark blue colour of her tights, combined with black shoes, and how the shade of her skirt gradually makes the tights look just as black as the shoes are...
Great picture! Mood, attitude, color...starkly muted somewhat. As for the outfit...I like the bottom up...shoe, stockings, bag...but it breaks up with the dress and wrap. A jersey-cloth dress would work but the wrap leaves me wanting something else. Did I say great picture?!
Again a winner! Three for three. What strikes me is how comfortable these Russian dolls look in their skin. It's beautiful dressing, not over the top. I love them all!
lovely- I like the color of the tights. I am surprised you haven't photographed more flashy things..I would expect a good amount of gold and bling..am I wrong?
~~~HAUNTING~~~
The colors, the shades, the mood, all perfect. Sweet photo and a sweet looking girl - I especially love her shawl, very cozy. And I'm glad to see I'm not the only one doing navy tights and black shoes :)
I love the feel of this image. And the blue tights really make the look.
Gorgeous fur, and I love the color mix of brown, navy and black. It works beautifully without looking overly thought-out.
BEAUTIFUL! Everything about this photograph... simple artistic beauty.
A pictorial watercolor.
Like this photo allot
It's true, isn't it? Give a girl a fur to chew on and she's catnip to a photographer. Still the detailing on her wrap, the tights, and the light blue wall make this more than a gamine shot.
Sweet!!!
She looks very nice and the pose - perfect!!!
Me encanta! :)
Beautiful! I love the black tights and the shape/style/color of the bag. Those little details mean so much.
love this. the muted colors and it looks comfy!
She is shy but hot!
yes its fur for the musquash.
this "blanket from home" my mather's made)))
my grandma's briefcase (50th years)
and shoes (80th)
OH! This photo and this woman have a timeless, beguiling Renoir-esque quality. All the more charming to know she is an artiste. LOVE this elegant ensemble, the colors, and will attempt to emulate it tomorrow!
it seems you are discovering a very chic moscow. Did you expect it?
love it! seems to me that individually many of these pieces (including the wall/archway!) would be a little passe but all together paint an amazing portrait.
(I want the tights)
This really speaks to me.
I love how the colors in the setting complement her look. Then there is the look itself:
Great Tights
Super structured bag
The shawl
Her hair
Terrific!
This is the loveliest photo. wow!
Your blog is so cool...but why not take some trips down 'south' for fashion inspiration? This year, I've gained a lot from seeing fashion-forward people in Johannesburg, Rio and Accra. At least South and East Asia should be an obvious trip-- so long as you're in Moscow!
I recognize her - anyone know her name? I think she shows her with in NYC.
AMAZING shot, Sart!
LOVELY!!!!
I love the colour of her tights and her bag so much!!
Horoshenkaya!
Great!
GORGEOUS. i love how the tights bring out the bluish-grey hues in the fur. and her briefcase is adorable
It looks cold (in all the Moscow photos, not just this one.)
I like the way that these photos bring out a side of Russia that is reserved for people who actually think about what they are wearing. I am sure that in finding these subject there would have been a huge amount of exposure to the trashier side of young modern Russian society.
That look couldn't have been better! It's like, all in one, strike and SCOOOOOORE! :D
This is a beautiful photograph. Framed nicely with that dark alley way.
Jag har det du vill veta ;)

I haven't commented a long time but had to express how this lady looks so lovely and poetic
i love the shoes paired with the tights. her little briefcase is the cutest ever. this is lovely.
The inky purple is perfecto. :)
Her suitcase is the exact structure of what my next purse is going to look like.
This is a beautiful picture!! The colors in the background, that yellow with that soft blue in contras with her tights and soft brown coat, its amazing. The colors are perfect!!
This picture is pure art!
great style!
I am in love with this photograph for so many reasons! It is so simple, and yet I actually feel a bit chilly from all of the greys and blues in the picture. Then her poncho and her blue pantyhose make me feel like it is autumn. This photo tells a story. I love how the background is just barely fuzzy to bring the girl more into focus. Besides the beautiful outfit, my favorite part of the photo is how every color goes so well with one antoher. It seems as if this was an effortless photo that just happened to fall into place.
This outfit is amazing! something i'd love to wear!
she looks scared of you Sart!!!
that little case is magical!
the eyes.
something hinting at Grimms fairytales about her - a chic little matchgirl who just found her way out of the dark lonely forest...wonder what is in her little black case?
such a moscow look ^_^ i really love it.
Looks like the heroine in a Russian fairytale!
commenting from behind what was once the iron courtain, I have to say, this coat (color+fabric) has a certain "socialist" touch... but nevertheless I love this! so much harmony in those soft colors. and the girl's so sweet.
lovely pic, as always.
i'm freezing just looking at this picture.
Agreed that it looks like a blanket.
Sart! Are your pictures really representative for Moscow ?
Or have you been selective because you want to promote a certain style that´s not screaming: Money, money,money !?
It will take at least a few generations before all flashiness even starts to disappear from Russia.
Until then looking rich will be the same as style for Russian women.
i love the colors that you have found in Moscow, albeit a little drab but they work great together with the light and back drop.
She looks very nice but there is some kind of scarry feeling about it.. like from a horror movie.. that litle bag, her face, like if she were planning somethig horrendous! But in a stilish way! hahah
I like the color of her tights, the shoes and the bag/briefcase. I can't really see the coat, so I am neutral on it but what is that thing around her shoulders? Fur? A blanket? Weird color, too... In any case, I think she'd look better without it.
this outfit is very nice and it's vintage:)
I am dying for that bag
I like everything about this photo.
her eyes drawn you into this shot..the colors mute the impact.
she is innocently sexy...the colors speak for themselves.
stunning...sart--u rock!
What a lovely little briefcase. Very brief.
She is very Russian, moreover she is very Moscowish (if I may put it this way).
Forget glazy-faux-glamorous girls. They are longing for this, they've never seen good clothes until after-nineties.
You can never understand. You never lived in USSR.
But this is true city-style of old classic Moscow.
Bravo for catching it. You do have an eye for this, I should say.
little red riding hood.
Amazing!
I like the way u frame her in the archway. nice composition.
love it love it love it. if there was a winter season in my place, i would definitely wear this outfit. this is exactly how I want to look like. pretty! :)
the bag is very pretty: chic, minimal and black similar to Grace Kelly's one in REar Window,isn't it?

very minimal, indeed.
love the navy tights.
those tights! would like to see her artwork. and by "artwork," i am referring to her sculptures. though her ensemble is a work of art as well!
I made not only sculptures, but also I am engaged which than in the fashion industry - I draw on clothes and accessories))) also I do ornaments and interior subjects
(I work over registration of the my blog, I wish to place photos in it )
I wished to take to be photographed with myself a bag with my drawing on it, but it bright green and did not approach on style to all my clothes, therefore I took a small black small suitcase :)
cute, the fringe.
Hot HOT HOT! The square bag does it. Straight out of a storybook.
beautiful girl, wonderful proportion, cute expression, i love the image she's portraying.
i'm in LOVE with Polina. she's awesome!
Love that style - more women should wear the hair straight open
