She is beautiful, I love the color in her cheeks. I don't normally have such a visceral reaction to fur but here it is too much. I really could do without the fox. It grossed me out in an over the top "I wear fur for fashion" statement... ugh.

Hmm, I'm OK with real fur and all, but the fox head (fake I hope) is a bit too much I think.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (10:56 AM) : 

just a quick note before the influx of fur comments: Please remember that all leather based goods are animal skins. I bet almost everyone that reads the Sartorialist owns products that come from animal skins such as shoes, belts, wallets, bags, etc..

She looks really good and the fox fur really works well for her.

Although she might wanna lose the fox's head. I like fur, but this seems tacky to me.

The photo is nice, just like all otherphotos posted here, but ... I come from a country where people normally wear fur, because it is so very cold in the winter but fox's head on the shoulders is too much even for me... unless the lady hunted it herself... :-) this is just my opinion !

Well. She is certainly making a statement. It's not often that true fashion insanity is captured on this blog!

And if she, the chef, whipped that fox up for last night's dinner party then kudos to her for using every part of the animal.

Gorgeous. I love people that understand fur and wear it the way it's ment to be: extravagant, fearless and selfish. It's that decadent self-indulging attitude that people seem to rebel against these days. IN YOUR FACE GLAMOUR. She even has a Marlene Dietrich-ish expression going on that wraps up the whole look.

hmmm... that fur is a really pretty color for her but i'm not sure i like how the head and feet are still attached to the fur. she literally has a fox wrapped around her neck and it looks a little odd.

 

Blogger Ste said ... (12:04 PM) : 

I like the color of the skirt which I think looks great with the orange of the fox.
I'm not against furs, but the legs and the head of the fox are too "distracting".

I have a rabbit fur collar (with no head attached) on a coat of mine, and I quite enjoy wearing it. This woman looks lovely, but I seriously have the heebie jeebies looking at her. No way I could ever wear a head anywhere near my neck that wasn't mine!

I have a similar stole from my grandmother. I never wear it out of fear of receiving uninvited attention or getting splashed red paint, but it is draped over a loveseat in my house and always gets a rise out of people.
Hers definitely looks vintage and helps her look hearken old fashioned glamour and romance. Furthermore, it would be sad if the animal's life went to waste to only be used for a few year when instead here it has certainly been used for decades. It looks gorgeous here, especially with the color of her hair, cheeks and dress.
For those who have similar such furs they swear never to wear, many animal shelters accept old furs to be used as bedding for young animals because its resemblance to their mother comforts them.

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (12:46 PM) : 

Whatever your feelings about foxes (and I find the idea of a headless stole even creepier!), she's truly a sartorialist. I would say she knows exactly what look she's aiming for, and that she hit it exactly -- there is not one thing amiss. She wears the fox with a very appropriate hauteur that does it credit, and on a bicycle no less.

The anti-fur people had a point years ago when there was this giant industry breeding poor animals in horrible conditions and simultaneously convincing women that the ultimate proof of a man's adoration was some piece of fur. But now, when nearly all fur seen on the streets has been dead for 40 years or so, I think it's time to put the paint cans back in the garage.

Vintage fur is totally an ethical option as far as I'm concerned, and that stole looks quite old. Better worn and enjoyed then thrown away.

Especially worn with such wit, bravado and elegance. Kudos.

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (1:05 PM) : 

The shape and stance of her body, the rouge, the way she is defiantly staring directly into the camera seemingly challenging anyone to question what she is wearing or doing, reminds me of the photos of Eugene Atget. (Yes I am talking about the photos he took of Parisian prostitutes, of course not saying that is the case here. Just can't help but draw a parallel.)

 

Blogger heidiaddisonhem said ... (1:05 PM) : 

very charming!

I just wish the fur would come from a nicer place..
Although her fox is probably is old, the use of fur strikes me as naive statement, knowing what we (should) do about the industry. Don't have to be a vegetarian to realise that..

 

Blogger mikey said ... (1:09 PM) : 

I don't think it is faux.... in fact, when the fox saw this little hot number riding down the street I'm pretty sure he sacrificed himself... I mean, wouldn't you?

What is this attitude that when you are going to ride your bike you should wear something "sporty". The bike for many people is their form of transportation....if they need to go someplace and they are wearing heels they go on the bike wearing heels. Simple as that.

Fur stoles used to always have the head attached. My grandmother had a muskrat stole similar to this, but there were two heads.

However she's a very pretty lady :) this just isn't my favourite outfit.

I am a vegetarian and do not wear fur. However, I am shocked by the hypocrisy here--so many people are concerned about the fox head and feet still being attached to this (I assume) vintage stole, yet they wouldn't be bothered by other fur or leather clothing (and probably eat animal flesh). I think the head and feet make one respect that it is an animal that has died in order to be worn.

Scott, this reminds me of a shot that I saw long ago (possibly Bill Brandt's work, though, I'm not certain of that) of a woman during the London of the Blitz (btw, the bicycle and the street lamp in the background were the triggering props for the memory)-utterly unflappable, and losing none of her inherent dignity in spite of all the chaos surrounding her. I am delighted to see this post, and even though the animal heads will surely be a bit disconcerting to some, it was quite common during the 1930s and '40s to see them. Bravo to this woman for having the moxie and elan to assemble such a great retro outfit.

Wonderful face too, and oh that silhouette!

 

Blogger Unknown said ... (5:11 AM) : 

WONDERFUL!! I love it especially the fox which as others have noted adds wonderful vintage old school glamor and a bit of irony to the look. I always prefer whole fur stoles (ones were the whole animal is skinned) worn with country tweeds but it looks wonderful on her as she wears it with humor. I am surprised people are surprised to see a woman wearing high heels riding a bike. it is a common site here in Europe.

Blogger Trudi for dolls jewels said ... (6:07 AM) : 

I can read that many of the comments here are against the fox around her neck. Many of you doesnt understeand it. Mabye you dont know it, but in the past time it was normall to wear it like this. Im not the "fur for fashion" but i just underteand it. I come from the czech republic and i know that we have a very cold winter. In many households it was normal that womens have had fox scarf made like this and it was (and still is for me) a very chic and luxurious-like way of being dressed. Nowadays nearly noone wears it so in many cases this things just lays somewhere in the storage and noone cares of them. but i think its a pitty. I have got the same as this one on the photo from my grandmother, we have made a new silk-lining for it and i love to wear it. Very chic. And look sometimes at some old movies. All the chic and elegant womens in the 30ś and so used to wear some fur collar.

I wear leather... in the past (no longer however) I've had a fur... but having the entire animal around your neck to me is way over the top. Its not remotely feminine, it detracts from this entire look. I'd say she seriously wanted to make a statement because one can't really dress and look in the mirror and see an entirely whole dead animal around their neck and not know they are making a very clear statement. With that statement she lost me, otherwise she would have looked oh so feminine to me.

Oh my gosh so fabulous in so many ways. First, the photo is genius - brilliant background, placement, love the bike. Love her stance, her gorgeous hips, her dress, the patent shoes, the hauteur as someone else said with which she wears the fur. This is true sartorialism. And I wish people would give it up about the fur. I remember when I was a little girl my step-father reminded me that animals die and suffer cruelly in nature. This fur is long-dead. Fur keeps those of us who live in perilously frigid climates warm. This lady wears a - long dead - animal with the finesse it deserves. Love, love, love. And bring back this kind of figure. Please. True, unadulterated gorgeousness.

People, most likely the stole is vintage 1930s or 40s at the latest. It is quite unusual to find a full fox stole made today.

 

Blogger Anais said ... (12:11 PM) : 

sartorialism

1. an interest in matters of or relating to the tailoring of clothing.

As soon as I saw the fox I knew that a lot of people was going to complain about the fox. Although I am against fur, I am not going to complain about it, not because I liked it but because everyone decides what to wear and what to like.

What is funny is that someone said or implied that wearing fur is true sartorialism...duuuuuuumb!

It's a bit of wartime Paris in the present-day Big Apple.

Costumey, in a good way. But what threw me off initially was the rouge on her cheeks. A bit much. All the rest of her accoutraments are working. She went over-board with the blush.

Poor fox................
But I like the rest of the outfit!

The fox is giving me the creeps! By no means am I saying she shouldn't wear fur (leave that to PETA), I'm just saying for me it detracts from the photo because it's all I focus on - shudder! That said, I love that she's all dolled up and going about town on a bike - now that's kewl!

There's a Spanish saying that goes "40 zorras para vestir a una". Well, in English I suppose we could say "one fox to dress another" and it wouldn't be too far from the truth either...

OH MY GOD! She rocks! She rocks the skirt, the dead fox, the bicycle, the make-up, the hair! Fantastic. Anyone who can pull off wearing that fox stole with this much glamour and make it work for daytime is a goddess. No, seriously-- a GODDESS!

I don't mind fur necessarily, its just the intact head that freaks me out.

 

Blogger Unknown said ... (4:05 PM) : 

love the fox, I have a silver tip fox I wear in the winter.

 

Anonymous AllieR said ... (4:56 PM) : 

The color palette is really beautiful, it's toned down but it still POPS! I like the fox, but I'd rather see it hopping through the forest... :-( It reminds me of the scene from The Duchess when Kiera Knightley is wearing the fox for the Fox lobby - also a very beautiful color palette. Maybe that orange is just the right color to add spice to an outfit.

@ya-ya, most dictionaries I looked up have a second definition related to clothing in general. And himself reguarly features portraits of subjects without a stitch of tailoring about them. I'm sticking by it, thanks.

Come to the Netherlands, everyone (at least most women and in Amsterdam sometimes a man) wears heels when they ride their bike! Also tight skirts, or even formal evening wear. Why should that be a problem? Green energy!

 

Anonymous Spiffy in a jiffy... said ... (6:11 PM) : 

Simply gorgeous.

Love; Rosy cheeks, eyes, stockings and hips (especially hips!).

Like; Dress, hair, shoes, biking.

Don't like; Fox (because it's too much and not for Peta reasons.).

Love it.
I have a stole just like this, head and little feet. It was my great aunt's - totally normal in those days.
I must go look for it, I had forgotten about it.

 

Blogger Sofia & Flo said ... (11:13 PM) : 

I usually like fur, but the head... Rox & rouky... Do you remember that cartoon?
What I do admire is that she is on her bike wearing heels!

 

Anonymous Lincoln Clarkes said ... (11:37 PM) : 

In London at night if you are walking home late, you are most sure to see a lovely fox out looking for food. I like her style she has fashion guts to wear what she feels...

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (1:11 AM) : 

This is one look I never expected to see on this side of the pond. Most of my aunts in Europe have fox furs with the head and feet attached, and this look seems quite Italian to me. A lovely young lady.

 

Blogger Ola said ... (2:38 AM) : 

Beautiful picture, totally not like in 2009!

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (5:04 AM) : 

Although the animal head freaks me out a bit I must say that the fox MAKES this outfit happen.

Why hate it???

I absolutely love it - in an anonymous way of course.

 

Blogger ingefaer said ... (8:14 AM) : 

so many great comments - love it when a photo gets people talking.
I think she is truely beautiful and the photo so evocative - I can just imagine her dancing the Argentinian Tango

 

Blogger Lisa said ... (10:49 AM) : 

Bwahahaa, the FOX! I love it! It's so barbaric and gothic, and the rest of her is so swishy and elegant! That is one kickass outfit.

 

Blogger Amy said ... (11:52 AM) : 

I love everything about this!

 

Blogger Unknown said ... (3:48 PM) : 

There is something very classic, but in this day and age, I can't get past the fox. But she is delightful in on her bike.

 

Anonymous Stephanie Pastel said ... (10:49 PM) : 

I'm on the fence about the "ethics" regarding fur (vintage or otherwise), however the second thing that came to mind was: that stole is really meant to be worn at night.

 

Blogger Tannee said ... (2:42 AM) : 

i don't fancy the fox wear or any other animals...

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (5:02 AM) : 

She's absolutely great! Not many people could pull this look off...

 

Blogger Miss Bouquet said ... (5:16 AM) : 

Love this picture! But... what's wrong with the fox? He doesn't look too well...

 

Anonymous Michelle said ... (6:48 AM) : 

I have no personal objections at all to people choosing to wear fur (I mean, nothing in the world bugs me more than a fur-hater toting a leather bag) BUT there is something unappetizing about the fox's head and feet and just dangling around her neck like that. She is beautiful however.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (9:59 AM) : 

This to me looks like she has heard that the Sartorilaist is in town so throws together an outfit she would never wear just in the hope that she might be spotted

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (4:22 PM) : 

I disagree with the way animals bred for fur are treated, but *artistically* - the fox fur makes it! the color! the imagery! the unexpected! A beautiful picture.

 

Blogger Ashley Reese said ... (7:24 PM) : 

Gah, the fox head D: Otherwise, she looks cute.

love fur but this fox head looks weird.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (7:01 PM) : 

The colors are great but I can't get past that piece of roadkill-taxidermy hanging around her neck.

 

Blogger Pixiewinkle said ... (11:36 AM) : 

Never thought I'd be one for a "whole" fur- but I love the look...on her. A fox is a fox is a fox. If you're gonna wear an animal you might as well wear the whole thing.

What a statement.

 

Blogger "hi, i'm ginnybranch stelling and i love love." said ... (4:20 PM) : 

love it. all. the whole dang fox and her brick rouge are flawless. and to top it off, riding a bike in some serious shoes.

yes ma'am.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (10:58 PM) : 

she looks incredible good,and the bike completes the whole outfit. i am not to crazy about the wolf on her shoulders. she could still look amaizing without it.

I clicked on the comments just to read the bitter ones, but I'm guessing the nastiest didn't make the list. I like the bicycle.

 

Blogger songkite said ... (10:51 PM) : 

Lovely outfit and she looks so glamourous. I'm amazed by her capacity of wearing such high heels and ride a bicycle at the same time. I just hope the fur is vintage, we don't have the need to kill anymore.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (12:18 AM) : 

I don't like the fox at all....how unappealing

 

Blogger Parker said ... (10:34 PM) : 

Does anyone know if this dress is vintage or not? The color is stunning and the cut is so flattering - does anyone recognize it and know if I could purchase it somewhere if it's not vintage?

p.s. Love the fox. So Judy Dench à la The Importance of Being Earnest.

Perfect...
but...I don't like the Fox too...

 

Blogger Tati M.a.b said ... (8:11 PM) : 

It's a bit surrealist to me that's why i love it,
if i saw her i would definitely stop her for a shot ...
Also would be a picture i would buy it to hang in a wall...
A lit said for the fox would be fun if it was a fake...

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (1:18 AM) : 

I love love LOVE this look. There is something so romantic about the mixing of the textures and, yes, the full head of the, um, deceased. The full stole really makes the look, I think. (love the exaggerated blush too!). With that said, Im totally against the fur industry and would never support it by buying a new fur.
BUT!
if you find a piece like this in an antique store or something (and this is clearly a vintage piece which i think we've established), there is no reason to not put to good use. the poor guy died a long time ago, at least you can kind of... rescue it... if that makes sense... The only downside is that people think you support fur, and WILL harass you... but hell, people are going to make judgments about you no matter what so screw them...

I know her. Thats Flannery Klette-Kolton from http://www.biglittlenyc.com

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (7:23 AM) : 

i love the look and she looks really amazing. but i hate the fur and ...

maybe those who find the head so disturbing do so because it reminds them that she's wearing something that was once alive and didn't really need to die to warm her. perhaps, you prefer it without the head and legs so you can pretend it's ok.

please spare me the hate replies. I love fashion as do you.let's just agree to disagree.
