Simetrical! I love The contrast between the nice and naive dress and the rebel tatoo's and fierce gaze.

This photograph is striking. I love the contrast between the twee print of her dress and the hardness of her (incredible!) tattoos. I wonder if she bought any books...

by the way scott, how come you always seem to be around people who are thin or at least have figures that can afford to wear short shorts/tight trousers/the latest fashion etc.? everytime i read your blog i feel i´m in some sort of parallel universe where everything and everyone is pretty :)

Blogger Unknown said ... (4:16 PM) : 

In theory the combination of heavily tattooed flesh, black close-cropped hair/shoes and saccharine print sundress should be plain wrong... But there's something about the whole thing that kind of draws you in. The more I look at this photo and all it's fashion crimes, the more I love it. X

Black hair and tats + carrot dress that reminds me of something my grandmother would have concocted using old bedsheets.... I love the defiant contradiction! Thanks for featuring this.

 

Blogger laylablue said ... (4:31 PM) : 

interesting juxtaposition. somewhat primitive dress/fabric with edgy tattoos. nice. :)

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (4:32 PM) : 

To be honest, I don't like the dress itself. But on her, juxtaposed against her elaborate tattoos, the contrast of the sharpness of her shoulders and the pale yellow roundness of the dress works nicely.

And it's humorous, too, certainly. Short hair and lots of tattooing aren't terribly feminine, but a long dress in the summertime certainly is. Again, contrasts.

It feels simultaneously as though she's completely dressed but also a bit naked. I like it.

This is really interesting... Carrot Dress, hmmmmmm. She pulls it off well...
And her tattoos look amazing

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (4:48 PM) : 

This is the problem with tattoos - instant issues with colour coordination, and patterns not working together, and a general air of untidiness - though the tattoos look good with her nail polish.
Haven't seen anyone with plaid tats yet - now that would be interesting.

I think her tattoos would look much better with block colours. She's got such a wonderful face - that slightly sardonic expression.

I see tattooing is as big in the US as it is in Australia. People are really going for the full-body coverage look, aren't they?

 

Blogger erin nuts said ... (5:24 PM) : 

Reminds me a LOT of all your shots of burlesque dancers...very similar juxtaposition of styles: the tattooed, racy, fringes-of-society vibe; the greaser-era pinup girl hairstyle; and all topped off with some sort of ultra-feminine fashion statement. I don't exactly know if I LIKE this particular look, but I LOVE what she says with it.

Interesting is the best compliment I can offer, but interesting for all the wrong reasons. Nothing complements her, while all the tattoos have ruined what gifts mother nature gave her at birth.

Respect her art, and appreciate her sense of humour,
she obviously appreciates playing with contraditions.

Who knows, maybe she is a librarian!

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (7:29 PM) : 

Wow, "raunchiest looking low life"? Some of the comments about tattoos blow my mind - the direct and indirect blows alike. I'm as heavily tattooed as this lovely young thing is, am a 28 year old female with a PhD and a very professional career in environmental engineering and natural resources management, and a fashionista on top of all that. Mostly I cover my tattoos because the objective isn't to engage other people all the time, and I realize it can be distracting (or one can encounter seriously judgemental people) in the workplace. Regardless, tattoos today for young eccentrics are very common. It's utterly absurd to call someone a low life for that, she is enjoying a whimsy-filled summer's day. Were she dressed in an impeccable suit, you'd be swooning over her grace and poise.

I think it speaks to your own authentcity as much as the model's. This one almost makes me cry it's so ... words fail. That's why it's such a great image.

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

Hmmm.. apparently I am the only commenter who does not find this appealing. i feel like this is like having country french furniture in a frank lloyd wright home.. it doesn't contrast and compliment, it just conflicts. i love the dress, i like the shoes, her tattoos are fine, i like her sharp features and androgynous haircut, but all together it is lacking. even the shoes and dress without everything else are off-putting to me. I definitely give her props for making a strong statement and for clearly not subscribing to any one dimension, but i feel there are better ways to mix and match.

Blogger John Bernal said ... (10:15 PM) : 

It's amazing how her tattoos act as a compliment to her dress...like a permanent accessory.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (10:39 PM) : 

Since when are tattoos "fierce" or "rebellious"? Why can't people look at them as "beautiful" or "intricate"?

It sure is interesting to see how people assume tattoos define a person. If these were sleeves of tacky cascading flowers, nobody would assume she was so "tough" and would probably make statements like "adorable" or "feminine."
Appreciate tattoos for the art form
they are. Stop making assumptions.

And, to the person above who said having colorful tattoos instantly forces you into a wardrobe conundrum, as a young woman who's had full sleeves for years, we get along quite nicely, and look quite pretty & professional, thank you.

The only things I don't like are what she's wearing - the shoes and the dress. I wouldn't like them without tattoos, and I like them even less with. But she, the woman - her face and tattoos, her pose, her expression - all that she seems to be is gorgeous. Almost amazonian. And she has the most beautiful shoulders.

Absolutely fantastic photography, I love the dark bookstore behind her, so that her skin with the tattoos almost seems to melt into the background, while her brightly colored and lit dress stands out even more. My own views of her style/ choice of tattoos or dress don't really matter, what does it this incredible photograph. The viewer gets such a sense of the woman you photographed, which is really the goal of all portraiture.

I love how marvelously odd that she looks. She has on this Little House on the Prairie dress, sweet shoes, and rebel tattoos.

wow. i've really loved the discussion about tattoos here. as someone who doesn't have them, i found the words used to describe them (by the pro side)--intricate, involved, complex, etc.-- incredibly fascinating and enlightening. i am glad so many argued in their defense so eloquently.

the only thing that troubles me about this dress, which no one else seems to have mentioned (and therefore not troubled by?), is the bib-like apparatus over such full and beautiful breasts. the womanly literally competes underneath the childish bib and works primarily as a confrontation. i expect that's the point, but it doesn't quite work for this viewer.

This is a stunning portrait. I can't stop looking at it. The dress is so unexpected with all the tattoos and the expression on her face stops you in your tracks. It's in the slightly arched eyebrow that invites you to question your very worth as human being.

It might be hip to admire this, but count me among the minority that is not a fan.

 

Blogger Hayley Meredith said ... (3:23 PM) : 

I really dislike this. I get the irony of contrasting such a prim dress with her edgy tattoos, and admire her for being so out there, i just think the bodice of the dress does absolutely nothing for her chest. It looks too tight and fit for busting.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (4:10 PM) : 

She is very dramatic looking...but I wonder how she will feel in 20 years when her skin is loose and the beautiful artwork starts becoming blurry.
I don't care for the dress at all. It looks so out of sync with her tattoos.

Like a tattooed Olive Oyl. Love it. I think she's great. I like how the little bits of green in her tattoo's are echoed in the green portions and carrot-tops on the dress.

Not that this woman doesn't have some appeal on, this whole look. But her expression is definitely trying to be, ".. .I walk here each day." Yet on her beautiful right side, she shows a highly focused; "I am beautiful, please; may I be composed?"

Strands <3 beautiful woman

She had offered 2 miliseconds to pose. The left eyebrow and lips inform us there is 1 milisec left. The purse pressed by a red nailed thumb seems to hold the inks of her tatoos. The suaveness of the tall tulip dress suggests me this woman´s temper is balanced by a contemplative mind. Her shoes, letting the feet to expand evenly, bring aplomb without load.

I cannot help it, but this is slightly disturbing. People with this many tattoos make me uncomfortable and the dress adds to my confusion.
Stunning pic, but I feel nausea.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (3:53 AM) : 

i like the tatoos on her body... its superb!!!! as for the dress it should have bin shorter

scary!! love the 'happy' shoes though - i had a red pair when i was 8!!

 

Anonymous LIZPR said ... (1:48 PM) : 

Except for the dress, I love everything about the shot - I love her face, her stance, the tattoos, the shot itself with the books in the background, and the shoes!

I love how The Sartorialist continues to challenge our thinking on the definition of style.

 

Blogger Barbara at Cat Fur Studio said ... (7:45 PM) : 

Ironic and beautiful, in a way. I can not imagine trying to dress around those tattoos every day for the rest of my life, though.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (8:55 PM) : 

this is beautiful and i love love the shoes

 

Anonymous ravished by illusions said ... (7:41 AM) : 

I think its very hard to combine loads of tatoos with falmboyant fashion, because it quite often just clashes. this girl however looks beautiful.

wanderful tattoos and wanderful dress... great mixt!

OMG. what a brave girl. i don't like too much tattoos. but she looks like so beautiful with her tattoos and dress.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (4:55 PM) : 

Typical flyover-state suburbanite who came to NYC to 'reinvent' herself along with the rest of the lemmings. I would love to know what sort of employment she's able to hold that allows her to both look like that AND afford current NYC rents. But then again, what does it matter when Mom and Dad back in the 'burbs are footing the bill for your New York playdate.

I don't think that I've ever commented here before, but with this photo I simply must. This woman looks beautiful, although I wish that she didn't have so many tattoos. When she is 60 they will not be attractive anymore. However, her dress looks homemade and fun and just wonderful.

Blogger Vivian Darkbloom said ... (2:00 PM) : 

She certainly has poise and a large number of tattoos. I guess when you combine these elements with a vintage dress and some incredibly cheap--and I suppose, ironic--shoes, it creates a sense of personal style. But I'm old-fashioned and decidedly unhip. I think she'd look more regal without the tattoos--or at least fewer of them, and elegant dress and shoes.

J'adore ses chaussures !

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (4:39 PM) : 

Those tattoos will look really tacky beginning at about age 50...and no cute little carrot print dress will save her then.

 

Blogger M. Keith Harris said ... (12:38 AM) : 

what fantastic style - very cool indeed!

 

Blogger Condemor said ... (11:20 AM) : 

The tattos are definitely out.

And what happens now with those who tattoed themselves?

 

Anonymous Rebecca said ... (10:51 AM) : 

Can't believe that no one pointed out how much her face resembles the late, great, Isabella Blow!

 

Anonymous Bob said ... (7:56 PM) : 

Very nice...she looks like a real person and not a fasion industry insider dressing for other insiders...looks like an individual. I used to work at the Strand. It's not such a good bookstore...Barnes and Noble across the square is better...I like the tattoos on her.

 

Anonymous Scarlett said ... (9:41 PM) : 

Surely she is Miss carrot tattooed 2010 but the look is really horrible vote ... 3!!
With immense love

She looks like a tattooed version of the girl in the previous photo. Is there any relation to the two?

No words for this unique and wonderful woman!

this is one of the best pictures i've ever seen. it's like a completely culturally decontextualized roman bust.

i don't like that dress AT ALL

 

Blogger Unknown said ... (7:10 PM) : 

I am in love with this pic. She just looks so fierce with the massive amount of ink and the motherly dress and how she looks right through yeou.

 

Blogger Kenny said ... (10:31 AM) : 

Is this dress an indication of an innner desire to be reborn as the tatoos may express a desire to evolve.
