luuv her jacket!

그녀의 자켓을 사랑한당!

I recognize her - isn't she Sang-A, the handbag designer from Korea? She used to be a TV actress over there...

알아보겠다, 한국인 핸드백 디자이너 임상아 아닌가?

한국에선 배우 였다는데...

I love this look. The proportions are just right- slim on top to balance the volume on the bottom, the shoes are great, the bag works... Even her haircut adds to the overall picture.

이런 스탈 정말 맘에든다. 비율이 딱 좋아, 상의는 날씬하고 하의는 볼륨을 두어 날씬해 보이고, 신발도 죽인다, 가방하고 잘 어울리구 그녀의 헤어스타일도 전체적인 사진과 딱 어울린다.

Now would be a great time to have that shopping guide so I knew where to get that jacket! The rest of it really works too...

nice combo. and however much she paid for that jacket, it was worth it.

Great smile and appealing style plus the photo captures the energy of Manhattan.

wow-!!
Sang A

she is famous bag designer-!!

와우! 상아, 그 유명한 가방 디자이너!!

wow! truly one of my favorites, for way too many reasons.

that is one sweet jacket!

love the leather jacket, and the mixed texture on the shoes

VAVOOM! I LOVE this look! It's so bold. Anyone know where this lovely jacket is from? I love the ensemble. Thanks Sart!

I love her! It sort of doesn't match yet it looks perfect. Her shoes are great. The smile brings everything together, for sure.

I love the shoes... and the jacket. and the bag. While I don't think I can pull it off, she certainly can.

Hi Scott!
I have started visiting your blog late summer last year. I have watched all your photos from the very beginning and I think you're really amazing.You really got the eye. And this photo is amazing as well. Beautiful checked skirt. Its colours are complimented by those yellow cabs from far behind. Not to mention leather jacket. It looks so well on her.

loving the jacket and shoes.

super cute

수퍼 큐트!

Love everything here!!!

여깄는거 다쥐긴다.

I like the skirt.

i agree with whomever above said a shopping guide would be nice- cause i covet that jacket!

she used to be a singer and a actress in Korea. I remember her famous song 'Musical'

그녀는 한국에서 배우겸 가수였다. 내가 기억하기로 그녀는 유명한 뮤지컬이라는 노래로 기억한다.

I would love too see the rest of the plaid suit that I see peeking out. I like her shoes very much.

Face it. The tiny jacket doesn't go with the rest of her outfit. Her outerwear has got to cover what's underneath or she should put her plaid coat in her bag.

Is it a skirt? Or are they big, plaid, sultan-esque pants? Whichever, I'm digging the look.

I completely disagree with "anonymous 11:31 AM" - I think her shoes make it obvious that the jacket is part of the ensemble and it balances out the proportions.

From the small view of the photo, I thought she had short hair, but up close, it looks like a loose, long ponytail. I might have like the short look a little better.

Awesome!

Yeah, she's Sang-A. Ex-singer in Korea and now a handbag designer in the NYC. I just love her bag (the one she's carrying the pic).

그렇다 그녀는 상아로 뉴욕의 핸드백 디자이너이자 한국의 전직 가수였다. 그녀의 핸드백 라인이좋다.(지금 들고있는 저 핸드백)

That jacket! I want it...

Glorious brown biker jacket! What a great combination.

She is SANG-A! actress/singer but most known lately for her fabulous alligator bag designs! love the jacket and skirt combo. but i always thought she has a gorgeous smile.

her whole ensemble is gorgeous .. although the bag seems a bit too bulky to me. but that jacket -- my, my, it's incredible.

oh, great, this season's PLAID trend.
debuting on a runway near you.
yawn.

The shoes are Westwood and from Edon Manor, in Tribeca.

love the jacket, but looks a little too small in proportion with the gauchos

Great look! Does anybody know who makes the shoes?

I respectfully disagree! it is ok to wear short over long. It's a great layering look.

You have to tell us where that jacket is from!

그 자켓 어디서 났냐?

That jacket is amazing and coming in a close second is that skirt/pant? I love it, all of it.

that might be the coolest jacket i've ever seen.

I'm looking at the jacket and shoes more than the skirt (interesting as it is).

The lady does great credit to the concept of mixing avant garde fashion elements (the Vivienne Westwood or Westwood-inspired tartan culottes and platform oxfords) with modern classic pieces (motorcycle jacket and crocodile bag). It's nice to see someone juxtaposing styles and looking chic and pretty rather than just weird and disjointed, as is more often the case.

비비안 웨스트같이 아방가르드적 패션요소를 믹싱하여 현대적인 컨셉으로 디자인하는 그녀는 대단하다. 쉬그하구 어쩌구 저쩌구,,

What synchronicity! I have essentially identical shoes and just today was pondering whether they'd look good with a skirt and tights. (Although on closer look, it looks more like she's wearing loose-fitting cropped pants?)

I love the asymmetry of her jacket and the leather it's made of.

Is the skirt/pants Vivienne Westwood?
Like many here, I'm also loving the jacket. It's the perfect proportion for what she's wearing below.
And that bag!

Is it really that snow-free in NYC? I feel like crying (I am crying). I haven't been able to wear anything but a rotating selection of sweaters, jeans and (somewhat) sensible boots for ages now!

You caught a great smile, Schu. As a photographer who grew up in darkrooms with fixer and stop bath...I hate you. But it's only sour grapes. I'm not keen on the mix match of tartan and motorcycle jacket but she is so cute that I could care less. BTW, I love Kim Chi.

Boy do I just plain love your blog, sir.

Nice mix and matching...also like the taxicabs behind as a component of the picture

Re the comment above, I couldn't disagree more. This is just so much FUN. As her beautiful smile shows. Lighten up!

Anybody know what brand shoes she's wearing? I want!

I love the leather with the plaid. For me, being from the Midwest near Chicago, it's all about taking inspiration from what I see around the world and putting my own casual spin on it. Usually with lower-end items within my budget.

I don't know why but the slant zipper feature always seems to give a jacket a complimentary cut. I had a favorite ski jacket with that feature for years that turned me into an athlete when I zipped it up. Wish there were more of them around.

Nice MJ Thriller like jacket! Just in time for the new 25 year release party :)

I'll take the shoes and jacket any day; but the pairing of the tartan fabric with the beautiful, worn leather -- loose vs. tight; clean vs. sac-like -- I think truly detracts from the fabulousness of the leather vibe. It is odd though, it is that.

Hey mate, nice tartan, that's sort of Mcneil of Barra... love it.

i was wondering when you'll get at her.
she really has great taste and her clutches are to die for.
she was also featured in vogue awhile back.

love love love!!!

i always avoid shoes in that particular color simply because i never know what to pair them with- thanks for the inspiration!! now to find a jacket similar.....

I love the zipper on that jacket.

I was in NY last week, was keeping an eye out for you. How are you always able to get people to pose in the middle of the street without them getting run over? :-) Thank you for sharing your pics & your creativity.

I'm feeling a bit under the weather today, so I have decided to submit my comment in verse form:

Plaid makes me glad, and of tartan I'm a fan.
This lady's smile is as bright as, her jacket is tan.
From plaid skirt to leather jacket, this lady oozes style.
But I especially love her handbag, in black crocodile.

lovely, but i'm not sure that there's anything slight about a calf-lenth skirt. definitely just plaid. i kind of like the IDEA of slightly plaid, though. what exactly would that look like..

nope. shoes are clunky, bag is stupidly large, jacket is---no wait it's not the jacket, it's the skirt! I hate the skirt. I want black, skin tight jeans or leather. Then all the rest works. Otherwise, it is strictly thrift store. I don't care who she is.

I love the play between the normal colors and the playful cuts and proportions. Definitely the smile does a lot...you don't see that many thrilled people in manhattan.

I like it when things slightly unsettle me.

Blake Lively wore that jacket on Gossip Girl, didn't she?

Oh my gosh! I saw almost the same skirt on ebay. I must go purchase it now,

I love the color of the jacket. Such a nice twist on the classic black leather motorcycle jacket.

inward pointing feet. But, love the look, very zippy.

I love the jacket and bag, they are so cute, and the skirt is so unexpected.

Yes, She used be a singer in Korea, Now She designs shoes and bags and owns her shop in Mahattan..

I just like all of her look, perfect!

lovely Pauric Sweeney bag!

yeah... her name is Lim sang ah. she is a Korean actress. I like her!
