Lovely boots, scarf, specs and haircut. The coat not so great. Pants go.

 

Blogger Kathleen said ... (9:56 AM) : 

Look at Renata, she looks great. When I dream about what I'll look like when I reach her age, this is what I see. Her attitude is fantastic, and to me she is saying "Look at me! I am not afraid to express myself the way I want to and be damned my age or what others think". She is my hero! This is it, I'm buying the pair of Harness Boots I've wanted for the past year, enough with the constant age appropriate talk. One can mix it up and still dress with hipness and style at any age.

This woman is at once too cool for school AND professorial!

And those hands!
If they aren't the
most ready-to-gesture hands I've
ever seen!

Nice photo.

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (10:09 AM) : 

I think the key here, as with most of your shots of slightly older men/women you shoot, is her swagger! Talk about keeping your head high! All these people have the look pf someone who is not afraid to live and loving every minute of it! Keep it up!

A wonderfully refreshing change from the adolescent stuff we too often see on this blog.

This makes me long for a few grey hairs! Crazy about the berry shade on her lips and scarf.

 

Blogger Unknown said ... (10:21 AM) : 

I am pretty sure she taught one of my classes in college....smiles.

 

Blogger David C said ... (10:27 AM) : 

the look is very distinguished but somewhat contrived - i think real style has a degree of effortlessness, nay even laziness and imperfection, an easy carelessness. She has that in the upper part of the photo - look at the macbook carried so carelessly without a case! But the only thing that brings it from careless to contrived is the single bootleg deliberately tucked in. Perhaps I'm wrong, but it looks to deliberate and loses the flair of reckless abandon..

the boots are great, and the scarf is a lovely color. :)

I like how one bootleg is showing and the other is hidden under her trousers. I also like the jacket and the scarf with a pop of color. xo

Hope I'm that cool at her age.... Her clothes are rather ordinary actually, in my opinion, but her style is ever present.

 

Anonymous edinamonsoon said ... (11:16 AM) : 

I agree about the deliberateness of the boot-tucking. However, she still exudes style, class and elegance.

 

Blogger La chica said ... (11:19 AM) : 

I think she's a bit like the writer Marguerite Duras, don't you think?

 

Blogger lintmag said ... (11:19 AM) : 

Scott, I think your next book should be with some of the people you shoot regularly, but with interviews about their thoughts on life, style, etc - I am always fascinated by how people choose their certain look, whether it is to my taste or not.
Renata looks great both ways!

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (11:19 AM) : 

david - i'm taking a guess, but i don't believe the one pant leg tucked in, and one out is deliberate. i just started wearing some mid calf boots myself, and interestingly, I've found that, more often than not, one of my previously tucked pant legs will often wiggle it's way out of solitary confinement and into the wild south area of my boot. just one. weird.

...is that car approaching from the rear gonna stop in time???

 

Blogger MusaBenedetta said ... (11:21 AM) : 

Fantastic. The hair is just amazing. It really suits her personality.

 

Anonymous AnonymousJK said ... (11:33 AM) :

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (11:35 AM) : 

isn't that coat a Max Mara from several years ago (think so because I own it), and it's the MOST luxurious mix of fabrics...feels like a fur coat almost. I'd love it if you'd use first AND last names--then if I don't know who they are I can google them and find out.

I dunno, could it be the posture or the tidiness from the scarf up that takes the look out of schlumphmode? Comfy but still ready to work.

Anonymous The Hype Around said ... (1:36 PM) : 

I love this photo. Renetta certainly demonstrates that it is not clothes that make the man (or woman), but the style in which he or she wears them. Her flair for the dramatic can be seen in her pairing of the coat with a colorful scarf tied ever so wonderfully in a devil may care fashion. The suede boots hilighted by beiing partially tucked in a pant leg. And finally, that gesture of her "free" hand extended with a cigarette while the other one is carrying a notebook. This is a Jean-Luc Godard moment, for sure.

some peole have style and some peole merely pretend. This woman is surely the real deal!

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (1:45 PM) : 

Really? Sure - she definately has her own personal style, but you won't find me raving about the loveliness of one pant leg tucked, one not.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (1:47 PM) : 

She is great but I agree with the bathrobe comment and add the boots to it it looks like she rushed out of the house - but her attitude takes care of it all!

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (1:47 PM) : 

elegant but at the same time youthful! how do these italian ladies pull it off?

 

Blogger Abigail said ... (1:49 PM) : 

I keep thinking about going back to that hair cut as well.

 

Anonymous YogaSpy said ... (2:25 PM) : 

I agree with lintmag that a book featuring your regular subjects would be fascinating. Witnessing someone's fashion sense (and sensibility) on multiple days reveals a lot about one's character.

But here's the real lesson I've learned from your work: Why not showcase personal style every day? Why be lazy about grooming or aesthetics or individuality?

I have a friend who, like your subjects, looks sharp no matter where he's going. He dresses for himself, not for any occasion or any trend. And people notice. Whenever I'm with him, strangers always comment on his cool shoes or his handmade bikes (that he builds himself in his "free time").

He looks like no one else. This Renata looks like no one else. Your photos highlight personal style and inspire everyone to cultivate their own.
