On the Street....Alessandra, Milano
The thing with Alessandra is, when I think of how to describe her style I wouldn't use descriptions of her favorite colors, proportions or genres.
I would have to use terms like sexy, approachable, androgynous, playful. Funny how someones personality can actually become their style. Sounds simply but it isn't.

It's funny how she can be so androgynous and yet overtly sexy at the same time

S'enlaidir à ce point, c'est de l'art ...
Fun, she looks totally approachable.
the epitome of personal style, because the style and the personality are one.
Pretty
Love the look! And I'm sooo in love with the shoes! Really love it! :)
you are right!, yes, she is beautiful, I mean it, beautiful.
makes me rethink my hatred for denim skirts...
also, awesome shoes.
those shoes again, but they work better in a monochromatic ensemble.
She is actually wearing those high heels on the street! A plus for Alessandra!
kiss
she's so playful. oh, and i love those ysls
http://thestyleparticle.blogspot.com
fantastic, absolutely perfect, so sexy, so elegant, so mysterious, so friendly... she is totally amazing.
oh she looks amazing! love the jacket, the skirt and those shoes!!! so beautiful. xx
that's true. from my experience for such person it is really terrible if you have to wear something like uniform in your everyday life, because of your job requirements..
It's a really cool outfit! I fond of her hair and bag and shoes ;D!

There is just something about this girl, so looks soo gorgeous and playful
love her. those heels are serious!! she wears it all very well.
I love how the pocket pop out over her legs!
CUTE!!!
Love how her outfit moves from boyish & androgynous to very female and sexy.
to me she truely is an inspiring fashion icon!!
I like the way you describe it...
Love the tights! I can never find a pair that are fully opaque, but she seems to have done it! The dark nail polish is great, too.
I just love how she makes her look so easy.Flawless!!

ahh my fave person that u photograph, and what a surprise to see her in those HIGH heels - looks amazing ofcourse, as does every look she puts together.
awesome style items from all over the world: http://inspireddzine.com
O.M.G. Alessandra in HEELS?! Everytime you think you have her style down to a T, she busses out of it. love it! definitely a welcomed surprise.
I'm blown away by this woman--how she can pull off androgyny so perfectly and then this! Stilettos! With a jean skirt! Amazing. This made my day.
The Barbour / country overtones of the jacket work really well against the denim / workwear skirt.
I just bought Barbour to go with really tailored skinny Prince of Wales trousers, to try to get the same effect, but somehow I'm not pulling it off so well :-/
It's a given her smile is heart-melting but it detracts from those amazing hands -- the most elegant, long & beautiful fingers! Incredible.
Also a sucker for turned in, geek-feet pose.
Is that a hat in my hand? I'm wondering whether she was wearing her hat & pulled it off before the pic...& if so, was she blasé enough not to care about hat head!? I like the idea she didn't care to rearrange her hair, almost as much as I like the thought of her primping her hair hurriedly before the pose.
i really like alessandra's style since the first time you featured her! she's just so chic and adventurous, with a bit androgynous touch. i'm totally diggin her style here!!

Love everything about the outfit, especially the proportions and the endless legs achieved by the high heels and leggings in the same tone. The one flaw IMHO are the pockets popping out underneath the cut-offs, but love the rest! Jorge from WPB
Love her legs :)
leggy girl!!
It´s weird, isn´t it?
I like her haircut.
True, she looks like her style became her or vice versa :)
It is not easy to achieve.
It's the hair!!!
Stilosa e sicura di se, come sempre! NICE
Oh my, i never though denim-skirt can look so great, it was always too cheap for me. But this really rocks!
+++
I love the nail varnish- and the hand of course.
Can't see that the stilettos are her style.
She looks amazing,so confident and so sexy!She has greeat leggs!I agree with Bamto, she is an inspiring fashion icon...
I love Alessandra's style!! :)
I love how the top is so different than the bottom but somehow they go so well together. amazing.
Alessandra only seemed to wear flat shoes and trousers, but she looks so amazing in a mini skirt and stilettos! I never really liked the way a denim mini-skirt looked on the female figure, especially with the "Abercrombie and Fitch" aesthetic, but I love the way Alessandra's style makes me reconsider this. This outfit is fabulous!
OK, long time reader and a big fan of this blog, but I think this is a hot mess. This outfit is not even in the same league as her leather jacket, baggy trousers ensemble that she wore in a shot a few months back (in Paris I think). I think sometimes readers get a little starstruck and a little sycophantic here. If this were a shot of someone in a mall in some backwater American town, and she were wearing the same thing, we'd certainly not be praising her style, or her proportions, or her playful androgyny. The context of the blog, the photos, and the backdrop too, all contribute to making this outfit better than it is.
I'm not saying that these elements (jacket, shoes, haircut) don't have merit. And it doesn't hurt that she's got terrific cheekbones and a terrific body. But the combo, for me, doesn't work.
you're right, her style seems simple, but it isn'it!
I like this style
I *love* the exposed pockets.
how about garconne?
that was what came to my mind the moment i saw this picture...

Never would consider denim and stockings but must say im impressed..i adore her shoes x
http://studdedrosevintage.blogspot.com/
I love it!!
i like your photos so much!!! sorry if i make mistakes writting, cause Im from Colombia. i really like her style. i wanna have it!
kisses!
is that a fur neckwrap under her jacket?
I love how her shoes contrast with the rest of the outfit.
Let's grow up later
Androgynous, sexy, perfect!
Never been a fan of those leather jackets, never been a fan of denim skirts...then how come I love this outfit so much!
Love the monotone leggings and shoes combo. I mean, damn, just look at those legs haha!
She knows how to use those shoes to her advantage! Great shoes!!
Www.chicmilano.blogspot.com
Alessandra seems a good person to know. Liked her skirt, funny but very sexy. (:
She's an adorable girl and I really think she looks great here, except for the pockets sticking out under her skirt. I don't quite get that trend.
http://london-copenhagen.blogspot.com/
Long legs and heels. Doesn't get much better. Love her hair.
I love how that skirt (especially with the stilettos) would look too short/ sexy/ trying too hard on others, but not on her.
Nah. I think you missed on this one. Quirky style, yes. But this girl looks like a dude. Specifically the dude in the Apple commercials (if he dressed up as a clown). Everyone above is just being nice. Approachable doesn't mean "sexy" or "hot". In fact, unapproachable is way hotter.
I love mini denim skirts with a pair of sexy stilettos and she is pulling it off gloriously. The jacket is beautiful and the dark nail polish makes it sexier.
I love Alessandra's more feminine side.
I'm always so happy to see photos you've taken of Alessandra! She is such a beautiful woman! I've come to your blog many times to find pictures of her for inspiration w/my own style. Her legs are amazing and that smile lights up the page! Beautiful!! Thank you.
She always looks amazing and cute! I love the shoes and skirt together!
I think there's a strong correlation between personality and style. There's no denying that she's impeccably dressed, so I can only imagine what she's like as a person! haha
xx
the definition of "legs for miles."
Once more, a winning smile is the best accessory!
what a combination! never would have thought of a a skirt like that with those shoes. her happy smile and cure nails just finsish her look :) i'm very much inspuired
Nice girl! Simple, pretty and fun look. (pockets = awful though)
She looks like a fun sweet person. I do not see her clothes, I see her.
her heels!!!
I love her style more than anyone else's you have featured on here. She definitely lets her personality speak through her clothes. Amazing!
oh my god! some Italian girls forgot all about elegance!
Love the combination with the heels!
http://thestylecurator.blogspot.com/
Love the look but wish she would flip her skirt down one roll...or at least cut out the pockets. Hate pocket showage!
www.jillymoos.com
Great great style with boyfriend trousers or this amazing denim skirt
seriously love this outfit, and i neeeeed this jacket. does anyone know who makes it?
your description is perfect! playful and androgynous, but super sexy and so perfectly casual. I love this look! Her legs look fantastic too!
www.twinkletoes-golddangles.blogspot.com
I like her style, but I don't understand the giant shoes trend.
Stylish people know how to make the most of their best feature and this girl is certainly working hers!
I like this overall look but I find the pockets linings sticking out of the bottom of her skirt to be a bit distracting.
It seems like the wrong head and hair sitting atop that killer outfit, and it seems wrong of me to say it.
The whole ensemble works. Love the black tights (great legs) and the shoes are fabulous. Not everyone could pull it off, but she does.
I love those shoes. On the bottom half she looks feminine, on the top half a bit more masculine. xo

i hate the pockets. a britney spears thing... otherwise ace.
she seems really happy. love the hair.
great thought scott. love ur insight.
http://www.lucasjonesart.blogspot.com
Interesting combo...I'd like it better if the denim skirt was not rolled up. The pockets hanging out kind of throw the whole look off for me.
She mixes masculine and feminine pieces SO well and makes it look sexy.
clothedmuch.blogspot.com
This is a good look for her. I never thought denim and black tights/shoes would work! I like it --- especially the little pockets peaking out and the upturned hem of the skirt.
Her style is so uniquely hers, and she's the kind of women who a creative type could inspire a lifetime of musings!
she ahs amazing style and that jacket is to die for!
OMG! I scrolled down, and then those legs just kept coming and coming.
She still looks casual even with those heels!

I love her shoes and she seems so happy i like it :)
http://www.ohmydior.org/
i love her.
She can only pull this off because not only of her personality, but also her built. A curvatious woman dressed like this would seem vulgar.
Wow you look fantastic in those pictures! I don't think that everyone could pull off those outfits like you can though :)
COOL
like it a lot, makes me smile
this is superb.
http://soulmixtape.blogspot.com
Sorry, not digging the pockets hanging out from the skirt. I don't care what your age or shape, that skirt is just too short.
by far one of my favorite people you photograph. the image of her seems so honest...her outfits always seem to be a manifestation of her true authentic self. and yes, wowzers at that rolled denim skirt.

this is a really fun one to scroll down on, on your computer screen, and be surprised by! bike messenger from the waist up, bike messenger's dream from the waist down. weird and wonderful!
The beautiful combination of "boyish" figure and sexy style. This makes her uniqe. And of course her shoes are unforgetable:)
the skirt, tights and heels make her legs look like they go one for miles. just gorgeous!
interesting commentary. i love the height of her high heels.
Oh my! The combination of the skirt length with the black tights and shoes, makes her legs go on FOR-ever! Looks amazing!
I think that she needs her own section on you blog, her style is great and she is a pretty person
when ever I see her photos, it makes me smile. Her style is so effortless and she always looks like she's on cloud 9
ALWAYS loved a black stocking with a black heel! BOOM BOOYAH!
I can't believe nobody has mentioned this already. The suffering she must be enduring in those shoes. They're absolutely terrible from a physiological standpoint. The human foot was not engineered to be stuffed inside those coffins.
This is the price people pay for fashion and I understand that. I just can't help feeling sorry for her.
she's very lovely... and I love those legs!!!
http://diyainherstilettos.blogspot.com/
i'm afraid the stilettos are making her head look small. those shoes are really not doing it for me, i can understand the mixing of the sexes thing, but why would you want to walk on needles for that? folding up the skirt is certainly interesting, without the pockets showing of course. one less fold of the skirt, and it might have worked. i do like the jacket. her earlier outfit was killer, well put together and proportional.
What an interesting combination.I can't say it's my favorite... The Sartorialist however is a lovely blog. Thank you for sharing all of the beautiful pictures.

I love Alessandra! After seeing her previous pictures, I couldn't imagine her in high heels, but here she pulls them off effortlessly without losing her androgynous style, and looking, as usual, very sexy.
Love the pockets being longer than the skirt!
You've captured her perfectly. Of course...
I completely agree. You usually wouldn't mix the words androgynous and sexy in the same sentence but this is suprisingly so. Love the shoes! Great look
i can't help but wonder what happens with the skirt if she's walking around or sits down. would it come unrolled. maybe it's sewn up like that...
does anyone know where those shoes are from?
Ah...those lovely YSLs. Love it! Wish I owned a pair.
She has great style - people where I luve cannot pull that off. It's the culture.
- I love her!
Her hair reminds me of an old man with a toupee. But somehow it works on her!
This girl has got style a mile long. The short skirt, the leggings and shoes in the same color all make her legs look a mile long too. She looks great!
I have a similar skirt I've been wearing lately. Paired with the jacket and shirt makes it more masculine and lessens that hoochie edge.
All I can say is wow! I've seen all her shots on this site, and not one has been outdone by anyone...
she's an inspiration to both male and female dressers. you wear your personality: who you are.
Beautiful!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
7 WOWWW FOR THE SHOES ! ( and the legs ^^ )
KISS !
=============================================================
lovely, as always!
You're a wonderful writer! "Simply" should be "simple," (that's the editor in me) but what a beautiful way to sum her up in a few sentences.
Blushandsage.blogspot.com
she's sassy and she has a great set of pins.
That hair is too mannish. Everything from the neck down is OK, but she looks like a boy. If she had her hair in a feminine pixie style it would be much better.
she is so adorable. like a stylish toddler. she just makes you want to laugh with her.
she reminds me so much of the pilot amelia earhart..beautiful!
Magnificent! Love the shoes, the hair, the skirt, the total look.
Bravo!
meow!
LOVE the shoes. The whole look is great.
She's beautiful.
I really enjoy the black tights and this great denim mini. I usually despise denim skirts but she makes it look so cool and new.
Love.
She is always creative and original, such covetable style.
Shortie denim skirt? Noooooooo...!
She is fantastic.
I love the skirt! I'm going to make me one.
it did take me by surprise when scrolling down to find those stilettos!
i have always loved Alessandra's androgynous style but i have to be honest this time the wide rolled up hem is almost a pain to look at. when i say "pain" i mean "too bad it's just that one flaw".
love those legs
Lovely. The details here are great- the pockets especially!
She is the epitome of modern style for me right now! I have been ogling her in the previous posts and pouring over each of them revenously. Her look is always so playful and fresh yet grown up and i've actually run out the door to find pieces in a similar vein. And then to discover a new one today! What joy and what a smile...
She is beautifull.
Not only very sexy but her whole attitude is glowing.
i love alessandra!
Anyone know who the jackets is by?
Great skirt! I love the sticking-out-pockets look.
This is just fantastic, is she married:)?
How amazing she is, killer outfit
http://thirtydirtybirds.wordpress.com/
Even with the legs and shoes, the thing that pulls this all together and makes it work is her great smile :)
She has a natural beauty that you captured well!

She is my favorite! Keep covering the ineffable Alessandra...
original and inspiring.
I want to see more of her.
I like her mix of No Wave and YSL.
interesting
I think women like her definitely balance out the platform wearing, fur adorned, overdressed "fashionistas". Her style seems quirky, casual, smart, androgynous, overall understandable and I really like her. She definitely inspires me
and I'd like to know who she is.
Does anyone have a clue?
i love the way she's smiling,and it still looks stylish, posh, and fashionforward. alot of fashionable people today just don't smile in photography shots ....a smile is a fashion statement in itself. she's very gorgeous.

i love your blog!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this shot. She seems genuinely happy. Her legs are already endless but her ability to wear heels makes them actually go on forever. Beautiful shot.
i am a guy who in love with shoes, and her shoes can make any man feel so tempted to stare at her..she looks sexy with that shoes
i love the pictures of the older man! some old men are sooo awsome!!
Mini Mouse!!! Love it.
This sort of personal confidence is of the utmost importance. When considering culture and all that goes into its creation there is nothing more important than the self expression of such personalities.
What's her name? Is she a fashion editor or smth? love sartorialist so much...best pictures that show the best style of people
XOXO
Splendid! Very sexy in a masculine yet soft way.
love everything except the pockets.
She's very pretty! I like much
I love how her YSLs and long legs draw your attention first making you really appreciate the entire look.
lovely lovely jacket!
looking a touch more feminine than we usually see alessandra. she always looks fantastic.
i'm surprised by the heels but the pockets peeking out give this outfit a lovely personal touch.
it's official; i'm in love.
Beautiful lady, beautiful clothes and an even more beautiful smile.
I think she is incredibly dull and overated and not even heels like that could make her look like more of a woman
It all looks simple and casual, then keep spotting different interesting things going on, but it still looks effortless - that's class isn't it!
hot legs. and excellent black nail polish.
I love this look, her hair cut and dark color nails really make it complete.
let's not drink the kool aid people - the pockets sticking out are just silly
yes her personality def shines!!! she manages to look cool without holding back her smiles/innocent expressions!!!

love the look.....great shooooooz!
I love her so much... If she appears wearing nothing i would say she is amazing anyway..... those heels breaks all the androginy masculine style weve been seein lately..... i see somethin la roux ish... on her semblant.... this pic's vibe is great... rock on
I can look at her for hours without blinking. No, no ordinary words can describe her.
Interesting style but this is a man, the proportions are male.
Always perfect!
real good!!
I love this girl and the photos you take of her! She has great style.
i just LOVE her shoes! <3
I like to see leggings under mini-skirts. Looks sexy without being too slutty. (Not that I really mind girls dressing slutty.) Besides the shoes, the outfit looks fun. The shoes are nice, they just seem too serious. And I think the pockets are cute.
She has the most amazing hands...
I think this are YSL shoes. Great style, as always.
this outfit is perfection!
http://postcardsfromdreamland.blogspot.com/
LOOK AT THOSE FUCKIN' SHOES, MAN! Seriously, the silhouette of the black tights/black shoes makes this outfit for me. Awesome.
I love her shoes!
this looked so British! NICE!
Amazing shoes =)
I really love this girl!
I´ve seen her several times in your blog and she always look so sexy and sofistcated.
I agree with you about her style, how can you describe it? I can´t. But I like it.
Kind regards.
it's like perfume... "funny how someones personality can actually become their [perfume]" :-)
I LOVE this girl. She always looks so completely attractive managing to shine through that thin veil of androgyny. very sexy, although this time the pockets are too underwear malfunction looking and in that role they are too well placed iykwim
style factor= brilliant! Love her preppy boyish look, the hair is fabulous!
