i was reading the swimsuit article in the latest GQ and knew you had taken the photos before checking the credits. people love the intimate feel of your subjects in these photos, its inmistakable. (sp?)
What a stunner! I love the darkness of her eyes and the light on her face pushing her cheek bones up. Her strut is confident and model-esque. LBD is always a classic even in summer!

how come the knees always ruin the overall beauty.. once I noticed the knees my eyes keep focussing on them ...even though she and the picture are stunning
I love how her body is so fluid and streamlined when she walks. There is a wonderful contrast between her luxe look and the rugged surroundings.

I absolutely adore the composition of this photograph, and how it captures this essence of female strength, although the way her right leg bends looks uncomfortable

um i am perturbed by all the knee comments above. this girl is absolutely stunning and the she is perfect precisely for her 'imperfections'... didn't garance also photograph her?
although the focus should be on fashion, i find myself sometimes wondering whether you're more attracted to the form or the actual style. certainly they can't be entirely separated, but i'd like to see people who aren't necessarily personally physically "hot" but have great style.
i'm uncertain whether, as in this case, the style is really the driving point (or whether it's just an attractive person with mildly good taste).

I'm sure that it's a hair or a strap but that dark line on her right shoulder keeps catching my eye. My first reaction is that it's where her arm is attached to her torso a la Barbie.
I want her hair btw.

So many flattering comments--I hate to say that it's all a bit boring to me. I'm a tad tired of all black.

her shoes seem amazing, but other than that, i don't like this look that much.
that is such a good shot. Although a black top is an interesting choice to wear for the daytime, esp during summer...
quick question. do you just take pictures of people randomly or do you ask the person for permission to take their photo first (and then they pose i suppose?)

It's really interesting to see this pic here after seeing Garance's pics of the same girl. She looks completely different here. In Garance's pics her face looks much younger - more like a school girl's. Lovely contrast. I like both. The dress/sandals combo is smashing. People who are remarking on the knees: In all of the time I've spent in Italy I've seen very few athletic Italian women. In other words, very few have muscular legs/defined quads from running and cycling and the like such as do slim North Americans, and sporty Australians and northern Europeans. Her legs are simply slim but not toned; there is nothing wrong with her left knee..

Great lighting, beautiful woman...I don't love the dress though. I just don't think it fits her that well.
The girl looks absolutely great and stunning, there's no point denying it. I don't like the dress however, I think that the fabric looks cheap and that it doesn't fit well around her middle.

sexy people can wear anything anytime and looks sexy. it's not about the dress.

This girl (in both shots) is ssssmokin'. Would've loved to see the rest of her shoes.

People who say mean stuff about her knees: seriously? Anorexic chicks or chicks who spent 3 hours at the gym every day are not sexy. Sorry. This is coming from a straight guy. Also, this awesomely hot lady is a good example of how only brown haired/brown eyed women can be truly beautiful. Sorry bottle blondies.

Mama mia! she's so sexy and the outfit is simple and classy.
Gorgeous gal in a gorgeous dress. What's "wrong" with her knee? It appears she has a hyperextension, in which the knee joint naturally goes back farther than normal, giving the leg a concave, rather than flat, line. I have it and it's only a problem in dance class.
Every time I look at this photo, the intensity of her gaze, the fabulous posture, the way her long hair casually drapes itself along her shoulder - and of course, that perfectly understated LBD... breathtaking!
Classic LBD worn to perfection. The girl is stunning! I love the way she teams a classic cut LBD with a modern gladiator style sandal.
It breaks up her look and gives her a modern edge.
I would have liked to see a clearer view of her footwear :)

post a commentthe lighting and composure is f---king amazing to top of all she wears the dress seductively but appropriate.
i was reading the swimsuit article in the latest GQ and knew you had taken the photos before checking the credits. people love the intimate feel of your subjects in these photos, its inmistakable. (sp?)
this girl looks amazing! so simple but effective! nice shoot too:)
wow! WOW! look at the ease and confidence with which she wears that dress!
She is gorgeous!Very elegant.
so simple and nice! but needs a little bit of coleur for the summer!
perfection.
What a stunner! I love the darkness of her eyes and the light on her face pushing her cheek bones up. Her strut is confident and model-esque. LBD is always a classic even in summer!
how come the knees always ruin the overall beauty..
once I noticed the knees my eyes keep focussing on them ...even though she and the picture are stunning
Sultry. The LBD strikes again (and her eyes!).
Stunning shot! I agree with the first poster, absolutely amazing ;)
xx
simlpy great. looks very sexy !
Stunnning! the outfit is simple, classy, sexy.
Marry me!
Amazing, love this photo. Any time I see something coming from Milan, I'm proud to live here. (Just to know...it's Corso Venezia)
What a gorgeous girl! And the dress is fabulous on her! She looks very sexy.
Great dress, great figure, nice shot. Bet it took you a couple of takes ;)
eh mr.sartorialist can you give me her number?
her knee looks kinda scary
i know this is not the point of the photo.. but what heppened to her leg? is it just caught in a bad moment?
Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S!!!!!!!!!!
Cutie! Saw her on Garance Doré in a beautiful tribute to Les Italiennes!
I think you meant Corso Venezia...
Anyway proud to be Italian!
I'm in love.
she's stunning!
Minimalistic sexy!
holy sh&tballs
this girl is gorgeous
Hot, hot, hot. Hair et all!!

bahrainpoise.com
woah! oooof simple yet breath-taking. sucker-punch
beautiful!!
This is the kind of picture that gives me Hope for the Future of Fashion .... and the arts in general
Mama mia! Delicioso.
She is stunning.
It is a beautiful dress and the lightning is gorgeous. But is it just me or does her left leg seem dislocated?
the lighting is perfect.
I love how her body is so fluid and streamlined when she walks. There is a wonderful contrast between her luxe look and the rugged surroundings.

I absolutely adore the composition of this photograph, and how it captures this essence of female strength, although the way her right leg bends looks uncomfortable
Corso Venezia o via Venezia?
With this face, she really doesnt need much else.
The light in tis picture is breathtaking.
she was on garance dore, no?
affascinante!
fabulous . :-)
So many gorgeous girls in Milan!
she is gorgeous!
woaw. stunning.
she is oh so amazingly chic! and what a great photo as well!
http://goldglitteretc.blogspot.com
um i am perturbed by all the knee comments above. this girl is absolutely stunning and the she is perfect precisely for her 'imperfections'... didn't garance also photograph her?
Nice black dress!
absolutely beautiful...
Italian women are beautiful...
whoooa... stunner ideed
sexy people can wear anything anytime and looks sexy. it's not about the dress.
Foxy—even though she looks like a million other beautiful girls with dark features—no distinguishing features. I ain't complaining though.
But dammit is that not a great dress.
her outfit is very beautiful, chic and sexy!
xx
Jun
So simply, yet very classy. Are those flats or heels?
Beautiful, just beautiful.
Wooow lovely picture and stunning dress!
This lovely lady gets around! Sart & Garance are like Renoir & Monet with the same muse.
great attitude!
Your picture captured her body language very well and I loved all the shadows.
As far as her outfit, to me is safely boring. Her shoes were the best pick of that day.
Breathtaking shadows.
Simple yet beautifully classy. Adore.
although the focus should be on fashion, i find myself sometimes wondering whether you're more attracted to the form or the actual style. certainly they can't be entirely separated, but i'd like to see people who aren't necessarily personally physically "hot" but have great style.

you don't need summer whites nor colors after all, if you could look fresh like her
that i want "her" number now
great dress,beutiful girl,good picture......the trifecta
Her knees are gorgeous.
Haterssssssssss!
A very little black dress.
What I can see of the shoes, they look great too.
Now go to NYC for even more of the same!
that is such a good shot. Although a black top is an interesting choice to wear for the daytime, esp during summer...
quick question. do you just take pictures of people randomly or do you ask the person for permission to take their photo first (and then they pose i suppose?)

Gorgeous!
beautiful girl and amazing dress but the bust does not fit her at all...
She wears the dress very well, although it seems more evening. Wish we could get a better view of her shoes, the shot is fab!
PLEASE identify this dress! I would pay anything for it. I love the structure!
I also love the boldness of wearing this kind of dress on a summer day. It would look equally appropriate at a Christmas party.

Adorable!
Love the shadow, the colours, the girl!
Gorgeous gal in a gorgeous dress. What's "wrong" with her knee? It appears she has a hyperextension, in which the knee joint naturally goes back farther than normal, giving the leg a concave, rather than flat, line. I have it and it's only a problem in dance class.
I love that dress! She looks stunning!
the dreass: vintage YSL by Tom Ford
I have the same dress: I wear it tomorrow.
I promise...!:)
Cheeers
Monica from paris
I think I'm going to study italian......this girl is the reason why.
Only. Your timing in this picture was almost perfect. Almost!...because we can't see her shoes good!
Nice capture though. Very good with the lights. Especially the blackness on the left side.
She looks stunning here but she looks a lot different in the garance dore photos.
Find it here: http://www.garancedore.fr/2009/06/23/les-italiennes/
Same outfit and everything.
I can't believe people are actually finding fault with this girl's legs! She's a beauty head to toe. Wish I looked that good.
she is really beautiful, great photo. I love the shadow
absolutely gorg!
Feelin' it ,Sart...

It breaks up her look and gives her a modern edge.

She looks gorgeous, refreshing to a raven haired beauty..so tired of the stereotypically 'pretty' girls, you know, bleached blonde hair, european features, they all look the same and its a bore. You know you're hot when people (jealous) find fault with your knee LOL! I need her number..
omg! i think i just died! Stunning!
totally looks like mila kunis.
This photo might make me reconsider strapless dresses! I love it!
Absolutely stunning.
Looking at her makes me very glad to be a brunette with brown eyes and tan skin. :)
she is soooooo hot and cute!! i loved tha stylee
Absolutely stunning and beautiful lighting.
gorgeous. so simple, the dress, the hair - just perfect and looks effortless and timeless.
ps. Sart, please don't cut off the feet of people in your pictures :)
She should have smiled. That would have made molta differenza.

That is how you wear a 'little black dress'.
The Italian goddess lives! Stunning - thank you for seeing her and noticing "it."
