On The Street.... Comme des Garçons, Chelsea
I shot this young lady a few days after the "modern Hemingway" shot above - I thought she would make such a perfect companion to his look and maybe it could illustrate how a young lady might interpret that look.I love the plaid shirt working back to the zip sweater and the overall slouchiness. I think this might be the first time I have been jealous of a girls outfit (not that there is anything wrong with that)

post a commentIm not feeling her style at all but she is unique in a way and I thought she was a he.
My husband is all, "Call her and get my look back!"
L'androgénique!
She's so hot, I had to quell thoughts of renouncing motherhood to run off with her. And swagger?! She's got it for days.
Photog wise, I think this is one of the more (most) striking pictures that I've seen you take; it's full of color, irony and has wonderful lighting. Bravo!
mltt
No pigeon toes for her! Great pose ...
Yo! This girl is HOT.
Nice gamin attitude and clothes!
Love her pose and her hair, she look smart and fun!
Maybe by mentioning Comme des Garçons she will be forgiven of assuming her standing on gender ambiguity.
Maybe many don't even acknowledge the how gender is a common theme in many collections, so regognizing a label name is enough understanding into the aesthetic world to stay safe. This understanding - if is transcendent- might threaten the safety of personal biases. Who whants that?!
LOVE this. Her pose totally rocks her look, too.
Oh, I love the sweater & the shoes. Very slouchy and comfortable looking without being sloppy or messy.
Wow i Agree! Thats a great combo with the plaid and zip(knitwear)sweater.
I would love to own that sweater!
Btw, love the Seinfeld quote at the end :)
I love the shoes. I think they are Clark's Wallabees (however that is spelled).
absolutely gorgeous! love the slouchyness :)
I am glad you told us this person is a female. Even with the purse, this girl looks more like a guy.
This is so, so good. Less eccentric and costumey than the other look, but so totally individual and relaxed. I love this
love love love the jeans. hair too fab, and nice pose.
She does look good. The short hair perfectly sets off an overall androgynous style.
just amazing! love the sweater, the shoes and lose jeans.
wallabees! love her, love her bag, too.
genius
yeah don't see women in wallabees too often. She is great!
Wow, someone I know! That's my cousin Cathy, a filmmaker in San Francisco. I actually have a photo of her in my photography portfolio.
terencepatrick.com
she has nice hair.
kurt cobain meets yoko ono meets killer attitude! the confidence pulls it all together.
Individually, all those things are dullsville; collectively, she's rocking some great style. Love her hair and stance, too. I'm digging my Wallabees back out of storage (again...)
I know its about the outfit (which is great), but the hair totally makes it.
I'm jealous of how those jeans lay just right over the wallabees. Takes me back to '96....and '88...oh yeah, and 79....and......
Gosh, she looks like Jenny Shimizu's cousin. Remember Jenny? Former CK model and Angelina Jolie girlfriend?
she looks cute, but let's be honest, if this look would be on a guy, nobody would bat an eyelid.
Hey Sart,
Please, no reason to be jealous of her outfit; you could put this together quite easily.
The Salvation Army on 46th between 10th and 11th will provide similar sweaters and plaid flannels, some baggy jeans. A pair of Wallabees and you're there!

Okay, I thoughtthis was a guy until I read Sart's comments, and I STILL think she looks like a guy (I think the hair is what keeps the illusion going most).
But hey, it's a cool look, so kudos to her for pulling it off.
I'm all for women dressing stylish and feminine (and sexy ... like that Korean acress a few posts ago) but I don't want anyone to have to look any particular way 24/7, so now we have a good example for female dressing down.
Rafe, how funny, the first thing I thought was Jenny Shimizu. She was the coolest (probably still is). That girl really knew how to rock a tank top. Betcha this one does, too.
rafe...
i KNEW she reminded me of someone...thanks! it was driving me crazy.
Oh Wallabies. Down south, the style is equally popular for both sexes.
Is your title a coy joke on androgyny or the sweater's label? Or is she outside the store on 22nd?
Her bag is Longchamp if anyone of you where interested
i want her outfit too! and im a dude!
do you have to be an expecially tall girl to pull this one off?
i love it-but i can see myself (and my petite frame) getting swamped. :(
as a woman i say its super cool. but would a guy check her out at a bar?!
She looks like a boy, an attractive boy though, but definitely like a boy.
I think she needs to trade outfits with the "Mixed Proportions" fellow.
Hi, I have to ask you - did you add a little flash on her? Half- or one stop brighter than the background. It looks like she is everso slighlty highlighted.
for Sara
I didn't do any flash but she was standing in the reflection of a building window (sometimes i luckout)
she looks fantastic. and yes, i'm totally jealous of her outfit.
In response to one of the earlier posts: what does having a guy check you out at a bar have to do with having style?
Love the outfit, and love the blog. Thanks.
Comme des Garcons! I'd possibly even go one further: Elle s'habille meilleur que les garcons! Nice one!
I would DEFINATELY check her out at the bar. Reminds me of highschool in NYC circa mid 90's. Killen 'em...
