post a commentI love the ethnic vibe,her hair is perfection. Its not the mass produced tribal wear they are trying to push now, it original, very SARTORIAL haha
great post
i follow ur blog care to follow mine?
http://styleanthem.blogspot.com
Oh my god! This dress is incredible...it's a call to the summer!
wow!
Me gusta mucho! I love it! I want it! Where can I find it?!
As a Floridian, I can totally relate to her outfit. I like how the green of the leaves match the green in the caftan. Practical and elegant.
waww I love this. It's so different from the usual!
I love everything.
Love it!
Ahhh I live in Tunis and I rock these almost everyday during the summer. So easy to throw it on over a bikini, plus they are SUPER inexpensive considering it is part of the culture here to wear caftans.
I love those glasses and that dress together.

I'm in love with this dress *covets*
I grew up in Eugene, Oregon, where tie-dye never died, so I'm going to have to vote 'No' on this one.
this is so different from what you've posted before. It's really interesting to see this lady posing very hard. :)
Wow, she looks like a goddess, I love it all!!! The glasses are the most unexpected touch, slightly nerdy but in the most nerd-fabulous way.
Alicia Keys?
I love the ethnic style

She looks beautiful!
Now there's a goddess in glasses!!!
What a great picture! Love the 'in the moment' feel of this picture.
Her dress is absolutely amazing. So neat how the design shows the outline of her body.
not really into the caftan, but i do like the way the tie dye pattern mimics the shape of her body some...
...oh, for the love of Bea Arthur!
Love this exotic shot! Much different than the others. That caftan is a definite head-turner!
Wow, gorgeous!
Beautiful shot! That caftan is so exotic. What rich colors!
South Beach is one of my favorite people-watching places...soon to be again, once the spring-breakers are gone.
This photo makes me want to leave New York and go to South Beach!
Her name is Sonia Hassan.A beautiful Egyptian Sister of min e.... And you can buy her look on 125th Street in Harlem, NY.
The African shops have been selling beautiful handmade pieces like this there for 25 years.....IWouldn't it be amazing if this look came into fashion....
olá... sou brasileira e este look me remeteu ao meu país. lindo!
very beautiful. i can feel the weather and the desire to quickly escape that caftan and bathe in the sun on the sands.
nice
oh my goodness, I am in LOVE with that dress!! What an awesome beach dress!
I love the shoes even more than the dress and the dress is SOOOOO fabulous !
Her hands are so expressive! And I absolutely adore her caftan and its colors. Truly stunning.
tie dye for
(buh-dum chhhh!)
i LOVE that dress! I want it!
Mrs. Roper from Three's Company called. She wants her caftan back!
Vive le Caftan marocain
Cool picture! And it makes me long for summer so much..
she can work it.
This West African print make me want to travel back home!!!!
Caftan reminds me the brazilian brand Neon by Dudu Bertholini. http://www.neonbrazil.com.br/usa/videos.php
Very tropical!!!
Case in point: start your day off cool, relaxed and in style. Dig the glasses. Great background choice.
OMG, that is a serious caftan. It almost looks like a skeletal system with that particular print.
I love everything in this outfit, it has a very free feel to it.
a neo hippy grecian goddess. i live in greece so this is what im dying for this summer!!! and what is that on her wrist? feathers? to die for!!! great shot!
Were you in Miami for WMC?
Not feeling it. The style is pushing my taste far enough, without the addition of the ultra bright turquoise. Maybe if it was more neutral colour.
Aside from that? The shades don't fit. Annnnd, the pose has "trying hard" all over it. Sort of sums the whole look for me. (Harsh? So.)
It was pointed out on Twitter that the embroidery on the front is nice craftmanship. I agree there.
Interesting shot though.
Her effort made me look twice and got me to comment on it a few times here and elsewhere. There's something to be said for that =)
and then there is Maude...
sartorialist are you going crazy? this is not good.
Very nice. Now post a pic allowing us all to comment on the swimsuit beneath.
She looks like a mood ring (must be over 40 to understand the allusion).
Very comfortable and stylish!
she is not posing, i shot this while she was fixing her hair.
Besides you wouldn't really get a sense of the dress if she was just standing with her arms down.
This isn't a dress that would work on everyone, but she pulls it off flawlessly. It's the gladiator sandals. The sandals make the outfit, in my opinion.
There is quite a split between those that love this look and those that hate it. I don't think this piece of clothing would have gotten such a great response on a woman less stunning than she is. The shape and bright color really seem appropriate for that area of the country, though. Not something to be worn here in the Northwest still trudging through snow at the end of March.
My mom and aunt have one that is almost identical (colours and all). They got it from East Africa in Kenya :)
i love the neck detail
it adds the perfect amount of delicacy
Very sensual pattern! A new way of rocking the secretly sexy look! And the colors seem so joyful. Lovely.
yay for African boubou's.
Is a real SEA DREAM, so incredible dress!!!!
--
So vivid and invigorating!
Love how the pattern mimics the curves of her body; it's sort of like looking at an x-ray. Gives a garment that might otherwise be unflattering some shape (and sensuality!). Beautiful embroidery on the chest, too.
This blog f#%&in rocks!! how cool is this!
high girl ur soaring so high girl
I love the details of the dress
I don't really like this, not too glamerous, a little to trendy...
This just doesn't do it for me. Brings to mind my mum's caftans. The fabric is lovely and so is the girl, I would just prefer to see her, perhaps in a bikini, posed in a chair with that fabric as the cover. But, then again, I've never been the South Beach type.
But Sart, your photos are always the best.
I swear, he could post a picture of the Golden Girls on here and you'd all be cooing about how great they look.
she is too young, and too beautiful, to be wearing that muu-muu.
this is a no.
Ok i know that the tye-dye is lame and maybe she's trying too hard to ethnic blah blah blah this is sooooooooo gorgeous! And she looks stunning! enough said.
I actually don't really like it at all. maybe I just don't really like caftans, and also it makes her feet look like those of a penguin. Yes, there's my final thought: she looks like a tie-dyed penguin.
cute!
circa 1970s?
i love it!! the colorS are amazing and the feather bracelet nails it.
i love you for taking shots like these! for me it's the variety that keeps things interesting.
http://youfeelinit.blogspot.com
cool ;D
Love the ink blot vibe and gold sandals!
She bathes the eyes
I love the varying blues and slightly tribal pattern. She looks beautiful.

nice shoot
i couldn't stop smiling seeing this. they sell a whole lot of them her ein malaysia, a broad range from batik prints to tie-dye like this one.
only thing is people here wear it to bed. haha
but oh god i would love to wear a cafftan to the beach! it's so divine
stunning colors.
Realmente precioso, maravillosos colores!
I love this caftan!!! Nice colours
Reminds me of Uli's designs from Project Runway...
Ooooh! Trippy kaftan!!! :-)
Kisses from Paris!

wow this girl sure looks a lot like Alicia Keys...
Amazing colors, love de metallic detail.
http://fieldsoffashion.blogspot.com/
What a fantastic shot! She looks like a young Alicia Keys.
I'd rather say it is a "bedriya" a kind of house-cleaning dress typical from Algeria/Morocco & Tunisia ... a caftan is less ... casual ^^
Nice pic anyway ... c'est assez décalé la bedriya à Miami ...

Sexy......
What is the piece on her wrist?
I live in Africa and that is an outfit you can easily find at beach shops in Dar es Salaam, Stone Town and Mombasa.
I love the ethnic feel of it and that you can spot people wearing that in Miami.
Sonia is a beautiful woman inside and out! She is also the face of HAJI Couture, a line of accessories which skillfully and artfully manipulates bird feathers into women's adornments, such as the wrist cuff she is wearing. www.hajicouture.com
she looks like isadora duncan crossed with mita hari!
I love it! Wish I could look that effortless in that.
I'm from Miami, and a lot of what you see on South Beach has to do with turning heads. This would certainly accomplish that.
I'm not sure I could rock the shape and I would probably ditch those glasses in the ensemble - but I would definitely watch her walking down the sidewalk/poolside and think "That's different. That's cool." So she's good with me.
By the way, were you in Miami for the WMC/Ultra? I was walking around Ultra and actually thought to myself what you would capture in those crowds...It's always such a sight (good & bad).
Great picture!!!!
i've always hated tie-dye but this girl rocks it!!!
I'm a big fan of caftans-as-beachwear. Plus, her hair, cuff and glasses really complete the look. I'd maybe prefer barefeet, but alas she's not actually ON the beach so the sandals are OK.
www.visforolive.blogspot.com
She looks like a beautiful sea creature!
bisous
I'm so excited to see a caftan! It would be fun to live somewhere you could get away with wearing this. I have several caftans and the only place I wear them is at home and on Kauai.
Love the whole look!!!
I like the colour palette, the sandals and the glasses, but I'm not sure about the tie-dye.
We are in 1970
Is The Sartorialist condoning boardwalk concession beachwear? Gutsy.
The gold detail with matching sandals is so... Atlantic City.
But the hedge in the back is really nice.
Her hair is amazing!
I love it! Very "earth mother"
Reminds me of a work of fractal art.
This girl has confidence, and she wears it well!!
Great detail around the neckline! And the unique pattern made from the tie-dye drapes perfectly on her.... compliments the small frame of her body well.
Also, she looks more like the singer Mya than Alicia Keys to me.
Wow, I love the vibrant color that she dares to wear...God, I miss my California sun....Paris seems so drab these days...Bravo to color on the street!!
http://wwwfuzzyland.blogspot.com/
I don't like Miami fashion. Too laid back. I love New York and European fashion. I'm getting so much inspiration from the paris, florence, and milano pictures. They look so put together. I want to move to one of these cities after college.
Amazing dress, cool with flip-flops and real funky glasses... me like!
nice shot. nice alternative to maxi dresses which are everywhere this summer.
i wonder if she has transitions lenses (the kind sense brightness and go dark) in those glasses.
i like how the biomorphic shape of the tie dye follows her body. but get's brighter on the outside. it's almost like she's radiactive
stunning. everything. perfection.
3 0 5 represent!!!!!!!!
this is hot like cooked food. sensual & elegant!
i love her sandals!! <3
I love the African-inspired fabrics...and the flowy nature too...plus the sandals...and the hair...and the...and the...and the...you get the gist!!
Horrible. Hippie died out in the late 70s.
The dress reminds me of my grandmas,mom,aunties back in Malaysia! but Im going to wear it to the mall for my holiday this summer,surely they'll laugh at me!
MIAMI!!!
I HAVE A SIMILAR DRESS!!
LOVE IT! FRESH , COLORFUL, MAKE ME WANT TO GO THERE I MISS THE SUN,
AS ALWAYS YOU CAPTURE THE PERFECT PIC.

It definitely has that African touch. I was surprised when I saw this. You can find it in Somali shops that's for sure. My sister had an old one like this. Cool.
I had a dress like that but I've overgrown it. looks very Nigerian or west african in general. Things we take for granted looks beautiful/exotic to others. lol
Wow!!! What a real asian dress beauty. LOve the color of the dress and style of the lady. The sandals are unique too. Look at the nail polish. How great it looks on white cute feet :-)
imran.
best teeth whitening
sonia h. is indeed a Goddess.
Natural beauty,effortless style.Great that you can perceive it.Yea Sonia,big-up hajicouture!
awesome !!!
Extremely good looking.
I have been reading your blog last couple of weeks and enjoy every bit. Thanks
It would be fun to live somewhere you could get away with wearing this. I have several caftans and the only place I wear them is at home and on Kauai.
This is very useful information, especially for fashion designer. Thanks!html to pdf and Love meter
In Malaysia, it's normal for the Malay women to wear this at home, even when sleeping! I kid you not...
The material is made from cotton or silk and the prints are either floral or ethnic motifs called "batik"..
I love this kaftan. Looks great
I really like this picture due to many of the reasons. First, you really captured the "moment" that is just astonishing. Also, beautiful kaftan on exotic woman.
John,

This reminds me of an amoeba :D It's still really pretty
