Style Profile...Dianna Lunt, NYC
Dianna Lunt
Job?
Assistant Fashion Editor, Big Man Magazine and Freelance Stylist
Style icons
I love Lou Dillon's quirky, messy chic and the styling of Emmanuelle Alt and Marie Chaix
Describe your personal style
Shambolic
I build my daily look around
An emotion
Personal Style quirk?
Prairie tomboy meets Parisian chic
Favorite designers?
Martin Margiela, Marni, Dries Van Noten, Jil Sander, YSL
The first thing I look at in another Sartorialist's outfit ...
Balance of silhouette and the pairing of fabric textures.
Favorite stores?
Opening Ceremony is great and I love Maryam Nassir Zadeh in the Lower East Side, if I had a store that's what I'd want it to look like. Their presentation and store merchandising is so colorful, well thought out and inspiring, not at all stuffy.
Most stylish city?
Paris, because the women have a sense of effortlessness to their style and they're not afraid to wear color. I also love Copenhagen's streetwear.
Favorite vacation spot?
I don't really take vacations, but I used to live in Florence and I miss it all the time. I'm hoping to go back very soon...
Favorite cocktail?
I don't drink cocktails but I love a good whiskey on the rocks.
Favorite place to search for inspiration?
Vintage markets in Paris
I spend my weekends…
At brunch with my boyfriend, and reading magazines in the bathtub.

San Francisco Book Signing at Paul Smith
Wow, San Francisco was great! Great turnout and really cool people. Dallas was also really cool, but I forgot my stupid camera so you will just have to take my word on that.
A big thanks to all of the people who waited in line for hours.
I took this picture out of the window behind my signing table. It must have taken these people another 2 hours before they got to the front of the line.

Don't let this scare you though, while I was in D.C. three different couples told me they had met at my gallery exhibit two years before. I guess it is not such a bad formula to bring together well-dressed men and women in a cool setting with a few free drinks.
Again I'm so proud of the variety of people - Vintage, Trads, Glams... all across the board.
On the Street....The Driver, San Francisco
One of my favorite encounters on this book tour was my driver in San Francisco.
As you can see he was very elegant and practically oozed self-confidence, dignity and pride in his work.
I love people who show pride in their work, regardless of the job.
This man's car was spotless, his shoes were shined and he knew exactly where he was going. He wasn't dressed like that for me, he had no idea who I was, this was just another day and just another ride done in his own stylish way.
I've said this so many times before, and recently in the intro of my book. Even though this blog is about fashion I don't really think about fashion when I look at this photo. I think about how he is communicating his sense of pride and self-worth; not by how expensive his clothes are but by how he wears his clothes, his posture and his politeness. This man is pure style.
On the Street....Commerce St., Dallas
I was so impressed by all of the cool people I met on last weeks book tour.
Young, old, rich, less than rich.
In D.C. they kept saying, "Wow, I've never seen so many fashionable people in one place in D.C."
My only regret is that I didn't get a chance to shoot more of the people at the events.
However, I did find two people that may end up working for me in the future (I always have my eye open, even if it's not behind a camera).
We will be announcing some new tour dates shortly, and we are looking for the right partners to host an event in Boston and Philadelphia soon (while Garance is in town).
I can say right now that it looks like I will be taking my first trip to Madrid and Barcelona very, very, soon.
Thanks again everyone!

Cary Grant, Les images d'une vie
Great new book on the style of Cary Grant.
This is easily one of my all-time favorite shots of Cary Grant. This is the look of effortless chic.
There are also several shots I have never seen.

You can buy it on Amazon.fr or on Colette's website.
Thanks Washington DC!
Thanks to everyone in DC for the great turnout last night!
I expected great things in cities like London and Paris, but DC was a total surprise.
I was signing until 12:30 am!
And what a great looking and diverse crowd (not to put any pressure on you Dallas!)
Thanks again guys and yes, I will be back in DC soon!

Verizon Global Gentleman or the Sainthood of Garance Dore
I don't know if any of you have seen these Verizon Global Gentleman ads that began running in GQ back in September.
It was a really fun project that Garance and I shot over the Summer in Milan, Paris, Australia and London.
I have to admit I'm happy with how the shots turned out... but poor Garance.
No photographer ever wants to shoot another photographer. Let alone your boyfriend who is a photographer.
I couldn't help it, just as she was about to shoot I would keep saying... is that the angle you're going to take???..... back light, really??.... does my hair make my face look fat???
Local florists became quite wealthy after each of these shots.
Sorry G.

GQ Style, Romeo Gigli
It was such a thrill to shoot Romeo Gigli recently for British GQ Style.
For those too young to remember, it's hard to explain the incredible, exotic, romantic world he created on the runway and in his shops during his height in the late 80's and early 90's.
A huge amount of my appreciation of color combinations, proportion, genre mixing and pattern play came from studying any photos I could find of his runway shows (remember, this was pre-Style.com). In a fashion world of huge shouldered alpha women his women were quiet, artistic, gentle and seemed to have a strength of wisdom.
For a kid growing up in Indiana, his world seemed unimaginable to me. Actually it seemed more like another planet.
When people ask me if street style blogs will replace fashion magazines and big runway shows I always say "of course not." Designers like Romeo Gigli or photographers like Paolo Roversi create dream worlds that challenge us to make our real lives even more beautiful.
For me, the reality-based pictures I take are a way to supplement the fantasy world of my magazines and photo books.
Somewhere in-between fantasy and reality can be a pretty great place to live.
