post a commentShe'd look gorgeous if she didn't have that starbucks drink in her hand. Support your local independent coffee shop folks!
Great lips! Great hair! Love the bounce.
love this. the hair style, the lips, the jacket, the shades, the lace, the tiny necklace, the nails. chic.
those lips!
totally agree with fiona about the sturbucks coffe :)
She's pulls off the haircut so well!
klasslesschildren.blogspot.com
Cool!!!
Military coat + lace + coffee!
She is in style!
I love her sunglasses...
Starbuck's was a local coffee shop once. Don't hate them because they're successful.
She's like a doll!
Love
S
Simply gorgeous!
Maybe the Starbucks makes her a modern classic?
I love her military jacket and that top. Her whole outfit flows so well with her over all image. Very pretty
I feel like she's started so many different looks here -- glossy 1950s hair, Victorian lace, bold military, dangerous aviators, long decorated nails, and that very modern delicate trace of a necklace. I suppose the mix is a look in itself. I wonder what she's got on her nether half?
I'm fascinated by that tiny necklace. I'll bet it costs thousands of dollars!

cool hair/cool jacket
..though i GET it..i dont totally agree with the coffee shop comments - that drink looks delicious i dont care where its from.
www.kylecuviello.com
Hot!
Wow.
What a beauty.
sarahannnoel.com
i think the starbucks is adorable. its real. its a nice contrast to her ethereal quality.
wow!
she is really hot!
beautiful... like a Barbie!!!
http://louis-myfashionshow.blogspot.com/
this is perfection. and i have to agree with aislin - the starbucks makes it real (how funny what a controversy that starbucks thingy actually caused)
<3 love her style and the shot's framing.
And to the first commenter... Fiona, that city is not NYC, SF, or LA. It's Tokyo. It's like, one of the most commercialised city on the planet.
Fiona Graham - Re your Starbucks comment. I agree, one should always support your local coffee joint. Only problem is that there really isn't a lot of other options for coffee in Japan except for Starucks. Every time I go to Japan I have no choice but to go to Starbucks for coffee.
amazing shot, doll face and I also love her outifit for the little I can see!
http://subconchicness.blogspot.com
i'd feel better about myself if i didn't believe people this beautiful and perfectly put together, roam the earth. such sensational style.
one of my favorites for you. stunning.
I would KILL for that hair.
Great. Hair. Can't get over great hair. She is very pretty in every aspect, not the least because of what she's wearing. I would love to wear each piece, though the aviators are in my opinion an added extra, that this time don't fit with the rest of the outfit..they seem a bit too heavy, sporty and plastic( like they are ;)) in comparison with the lightness of the lacy dress. But still, an outfit I really like!
She looks gorgeous, she has a perfect doll like face!

Oh wow! She is so perfect, it's almost scary.
the sunglasses are great
www.thepaisleypeacock.net
I love her blouse.. looks like it's made from sheer dining room curtains but it works here.
beautiful!!!
love the delicate lace top teamed with the hard military jacket...gorgeous hair!!!
Fabulous!
http://tiarastrash.wordpress.com
Her hair-colour is perfection. So many asians get absolutely destroyed by colorists who don't understand how to avoid the atrocious, cheap-looking red tones that emerge when you lighten asian hair...this girl is lucky!
http://hespokeshespokebespoke.blogspot.com/
love that top, and her hairstyle. what a gorgeous photo
http://lavie-amonavis.blogspot.com
Don't drink Starbucks because they make terrible coffee. That said, love this, absolutely gorgeous.
These Tokyo images are AMAZING
she is gorgeous, the photo is gorgeous... my favorite part is that tiny, delicate, unassuming necklace. just perfection, in total.
the super delicate necklace does it for me
I love her hair and the lace top combined with the band jacket screams fashionista.
www.FashionSnag.com
very lovely!

she can't be real! gorgeousness in its truest sense.
Chic, sophisticated, glamour, and beautiful face. It is my favourite photo.
Japanese street wear is the most exciting thing since Carnaby Street. Right on!
lovely !
starbucks is local for me and it was once an independent coffee shop, plus starbucks is probably the only coffee shop around in japan
The simple romantic blouse paired with the classic jacket & the coopie doll like face...perfect!
WOW!
she looks perfectly stunning! :D
she looks amazing style.
one of my favourites already. somewhat reminiscent of tamara de lempicka. hair and lips are perfection.
She's so elegant!
It's funny that talking about "coffee" a lot here ... as Fionamcindoe.com said... there isn't too much choice for take away coffee in Tokyo. There are some Japanese coffee chain shops like Doutor though...which is much cheaper but good!
She is cute!
there are other take-away coffee shops in japan (doutor or excelsiorcaffe).
i am really enjoying these tokyo posts. i love japan!
I agree with Caught the Light in his comment that Starbucks makes her a modern classic.
The hair style, the delicate lace top, and the necklace marries femininity with modernity inspired by the shades and Starbucks. The way she's wrapping her military jacket around her shoulders enriches this feminine look of hers and adds refinement.
Thanks for sharing!
You should look past and not honor what type of cup she is holding.
She is "put together" nicely (hair, skin, nails,)I actually like the cup. It's as if she could be behind you in line, at said cafe' shop. That no one here like's ,yet can't stop talking about..
She's gorgeous! After your last few shots in Tokyo, I was beginning to think everybody in Japan dresses like cartoon characters. This is a refreshing change!
Unfortunately, for the most part Tokyo doesn't have independent coffee shops the way that, say, New York or other cities in the U.S. does. There are a series of Japanese chains that I would argue make worse coffee than Starbucks, at an equally high cost as Starbucks. (Starting price for anything in a Starbucks in Japan is over $3, including regular drip coffee). So the coffee lover is in a bit of jam in Japan where Starbucks often presents the least bad option when out on the town - disappointing but true.
Oh I love the hair!! What a 60s looking chic. I love it.
Ethereal. She could be in a movie.
I agree with the first comment she would look better without the starbucks
This is just simply, and stunningly beautiful.
I lover her lacy top+ military cardi!so cute!
Gorgeous hair!
my absolute favorite on the Sartorialist thus far.
i love the contrast between the jacket and the blouse. and her hair is amazing.
Loving this, such a beautiful composition. And I am a big fan of the contrasts "pretty in delicate lace" vs "rock n roll" attitude in bold aviators... Tom Ford?
Great photograph, but her tacky nail decoration detracts from her classic look.
Incredible portrait.
Where are these alleged 'dangerous curves'?
GORGEOUS! She has a little Jackie "O" going on in that look. Perfection.
Gorgeous.
And Starbucks is amazing.
She looks like those beautiful dames in Osamu Tezuka mangas!
GORGEOUS
How absolutely adorable & gorgeous!
Beautiful. She immediately reminded me of the actress in "Monsoon Wedding."
Like a modern Audrey Hepburn. Love it.
A side note, I am bothered by the comments about her looking like a "doll." I can't tell you how many times I get told I look like a "china doll," and it's demeaning. It perpetuates the idea that East Asian women are objects, not people, that they are delicate and child-like, therefore subservient, and that all East Asians look the same.
This woman in no way is dressed in a lolita style, and if it weren't known that this shot was taken in Tokyo, her racial identity would likely not be recognized. If you think she has porcelain-like skin, say so, but please be aware of the connotations the word "doll" carries.
A favorite! Lovely lace and a mix of other fun trends, like the nails! I want to wake up each morning with that hair (already styled!)

oh, that hair!...
what an amazing picture!!!! so stunning!

http://copiouscouture.blogspot.com
love it! the outfit is so chic, i want that jacket!
she is a true beauty
super good. kind of eerie
trade the plastic cup for a hurricane glass and I can suspend disbelief
Looks like fun.
She's supremely glamorous without the high fashion threads? She manages to transform an ugly plastic straw into a very seductive prop?? She oozes Veronica Lake mystique without the slightest effort??? I bow to her.
Elaine
What an accurate title: dangerous curves. :)
WOW!! so beautiful she is....delicate.. fragile..naive....
I love the contrast of textures and styles. Soft delicate lace against the tough, strong-lined jacket is a perfect pairing. Loving the pinup-y pout and hair!
I love this. Starbucks and all. I actually like the Starbucks in the photo.. along with that necklace and her hair. And her lips! Perfecto :).
I want to be her.
SO CUTE!
So beatiful!
I'm loving your Japan images!
Hoty hoty
hot pants!
Whoa, she is sexy as hell. She is my new fashion idol.
This shows that you don't have to be Pam Anderson to be sexy.
Is that jacket Stella McCartney for GAP kids?
i am asian myself and i have never seen an asian person with as full of lips as on this girl. Yet, countries like South Korea and Japan are notorious for plastic surgery.
Love her look...and the naturalness of this photo....
www.torontoverve.org
Great picture! Can I just buy her hair somewhere???! I also love the way she wears the cardigan over her shoulders.
Oh yes, dangerous, because now I want to cut my hair!
What a future this kid has got - lips, hair, style and class! Shame about the Starbucks!
love the hair, glasses, lips and necklace. The nails make me want to puke.
Great outfit and style.
www.sarabbentley.blogspot.com
she is gorgeus!
the jacket, the lace blouse, the hair...
spans the decades but is bang up to date how clever is that? well apart from the revolting looking gloop in the cup..........
Ah! Lolita!
Beautiful!
:)

Great photo. Nearly everything about her is so fluid, round, smooth. The hair, lips, glasses, cheeks, neckline of the blouse. Juxtaposed nicely with the sharp military jacket.
You've outdone yourself in the land of the rising sun.

So beautiful. I want her hair! Thanks for sharing.
Asian pride.
LOVING all the Tokyo images.
But this outfit is amazing. And her hair! And the sunnies! Far too adorably glam!

Too hot for words...
wow! look at her lips! and HAIR!!! love it!
She is beautiful yes, and I do love this photo. However, as someone who is half-Japanese I do think that her lips are a little too suspiciously inflated.
What a devine photo.
wow. really beautiful.
great shot!
Her lips! Forget Angelina Jolie, this is cherubic pillow-soft perfection...
I only look this put together in my wildest dreams. What a gem.
Anyone know who makes those sunglasses??
I want my hair just like that!!!!!!!!! it's gorgeous!
Perfect, everything about this photo is perfect.
killer lips!
her style is quite refreshing - not like the stereotypical out-of-this-world styles that magazines like FRUIT publish, and not like the run-of-the-mill trends that most commercial Japanese magazines publish
-as for the Starbucks...I agree but there are very few to-go coffee places in Japan. Local coffee shops rarely offer the to-go option, unless you have your own coffee tumbler.
She does look adorable but as an Asian woman who is constantly inundated (by friends, relatives and Asian media) with tips, news and gossip regarding the latest plastic surgery trends, I am 99.9% certain that her lips (ESP. the upper one), nose and her eyes were all altered. How can I tell about her eyes you ask? The glimpse of her right eye through the tiny space between her aviators. If you look carefully, you'll see how round and perfect her eye (and eyelid) is - 99.9% of the time, this is achieved through surgery. Second, her nose has no bumps and is perfectly straight. Although in her case, to achieve a more "natural" nose, she didn't get that extra lift on the bridge that many women get. And lastly, 99.9% of Asians do not have lips like those. And even if we did, do we know any people whose upper and lower lips are different sizes from one another? Now, I'm no plastic surgeon but I'm surrounded on a daily basis by women (many Asian) who have gotten work done on their faces. And in Japan (and Asia in general), plastic surgery is so common that even pre-teens get them and it's no longer as taboo as it once was. Not hating or anything. Just saying.
Absolutely gorgeous! Her hair and the top are lovely...
I came here to look at the pictures, but am finding another sight more interesting to consider:
That of people dissecting the same photograph of a person and with two strong opposite opinions of its cultural representations & beauty.
A question: Would we scrutinize the same people in the same way if we were to see them in real life?

Beautiful. (And I prefer Starbucks to Gauloises in her hand anytime.)
Sgt Pepper Jacket with fake nails and Oh, so plumpy lips. So gorgeous!
a modern Jackie 'O' from Tokyo. Its a powerful yet soft image that beckons you on.
this is SUCH a fantastic photo,
check out my blog if you have time :)
Asian version of Angelina Jolie!! Beautifuuuulll!!
Love this, gorgeous picture. And that Starbucks looks DELICIOUS!

Amazing hair and the pleating in the blouse. Everything.. gorgeous. @Fiona Graham Coffee Culture is pretty much defined by Starbucks in Japan. This isn't Western culture, but if it was I'd totally agree :)
If only my hair would stay that way for a day. Sigh... And those nails....longer sigh....
I simply have to respond to the comment re that she may had work done. I'm Asian with full lips and double eye lids. And last time I looked lots of people like me where I live. Women as well as men. 99.9% may be a gross over estimation. Besides, she could mixed race. Just saying...
Beautiful photograph! Military Jackets are in this season and we almost don't want it to get warmer so we can still keep wearing them!
http://twitter.com/SMSstylefeed
That hair cut + that jacket thrown casually over her shoulders = perfection.
Another wonderful shot, Sart.
Finally a beautiful photo and model from Tokyo!
I love the way she dress.
Is too chic, i think his style is absoluty classic.
When i saw the photo I remember Ralph Laurent, burberry collections .
Gorgeous.
hot rollers--love it!
Catastrophy: I agree with your comment about the over estimation, though that percentage sounded more like facetiousness to me than anything else, as well as that there are indeed Asians who are born with more Western features than others but this woman's face in the photo kind of looks too "constructed." (sorry, can't really think of another term right now.) It may just be the quality of the photograph or her makeup. Either way, she does look beautiful.
@anonymous 11.15.
I think you are being quite presumptuous about this girl, particularly considering how little you can see in this picture. as a doctor, i coudn't possibly imagine being "99.9% sure" on anything regarding surgery from seeing a fashion shot, so your conclusions are ridiculous.
also, how do we know she is asian? she could even be mixed race? i think assuming such negative things about her based on her appearance is exactly the type of attitude that leads people to elective cosmetic surgery.
and to contradict your statement, many people do have fuller upper rather than lower lips, myself included and if she had had surgery, this would more than likely have been corrected.
whether or not she has is irrelevant, but i choose to belive she has not. she is a beaut.
She's probably a model... just look at how she presents herself.
Also, this entire outfit is pure understated WIN. :D
To find an Asian with lips like that, do a Google search for "Princess Chulaborn"
Trust me, her lips have looked like that forever. Some Asians, especially those with a bit of Southeast Asian blood in them, have larger lips than Northern Asians.
Good morning, hair rollers! Good bye, straightening iron!
Wow - Great photo! A sexist description to make of a woman but she truly does look like a doll.
I wonder if the subjects of these photos ever read these comments and if so, how they feel about the various assessments that are made of them? I suppose for this photo, the 2 subjects would be this young lady and Starbucks?
Scott - ever consider doing intereview sessions with your models and give a voice to their photos? I imagine it to be quite interesting.
This photo made me gasp. Whether she has had work done or not, she is absolutely stunning - an amazing shot.
I want to lips and hairstyle. wow.
So chic - this photo is amazing.
so cool! what a fantastic photo
I think the Starbucks makes it a real. Otherwise this could be a model from a magazine. I like it.
What Fiona said! All the cool kids have the vital accessory of 'Starbucks chic'
I emailed you years ago about checking out the sartorialists in Tokyo. And I am happy that you are really there now!
oxxo.
Lips look fake to me, folks. Botox should be the dominating theme of the discussions, not Starbucks.
People stop being jealous and making silly assumptions, she is perfectly natural.
and love the nails ofcourse
Love her look and what I love most is the fact that she's drinking a full fat Frapp.. with whipped cream to boot!
Regarding the whole coffee and fake lip discussion, can't we just focus on the beauty of a picture and leave prejudice out of it?? Moreover, whether her lips are "done" or not, she's still a gorgeous girl.

her lips are simply luxurious! amazing! the hair is also stunning... i'm in love!
The one thing I haven't noticed anyone comment on, and I didn't read all the comments, so someone might have mentioned it, is the necklace. It's soooooo delicate, just the perfect little accessory for the perfect modern doll.
I don't think anyone's really denied her beauty (Starbucks seems to be getting mixed reviews though). People are just stating what they are viewing, perhaps even offering their own interpretation of what the concept of "beauty" means now.
This is a fashion blog. Being judgmental is a prerequisite, sugar.
Dear god, I want those glasses. The picture is kinda very perfect. Grr.
Sigh. There are plenty of asians with full lips and/or double eyelids. Please stop assuming that all asian girls with western-ish features (i.e. not the stereotypical asian perpetuated in western society), are the result of cosmetic surgery.
She is lovely. Great photograph.
I even can't believe she is Asian. Such a classic outfit. Perfect for me
Her hair is just perfecttt, and I love the lighting, great shot!

If only she'd been drinking a can of Pocari Sweat...
I am an avid creeper to this blog.
I'm Asian so other's asian relax with the surgery talk unless you can give me her full name and her medical surgery list please stop criticizing i know that how our parents raise us to constantly stare at each other to figure out our asian ethnicity, to see what our history wants us to believe about each other...also south east asians have full lips, bodies, are usually not light skin, also you never know if something mixed along her bloodline, also japanese people have the most interesting bridges i don't know if it's because of the war, mixing over time but look at any japanese street style book, crazy bridges left and right and koreans technically win in the plastic surgery race for asians since the US has alot of influence there by choice the japanese don't like our presence much and the japanese don't even care if your teeth aren't perfect which is a westernized idea of beauty
this is just a beautiful moment captures, skin, nails( and person who said these nails were gross, this is just how japanese culture is obsessed with long, overly decorated nails, it's like if someone makes fun of the popery in your mother's bathroom, it's a culture thing), who cares that it's a starbucks thing i just keep thinking the green straw adds color to the photo
i ranted, it happened,
from the smallest island
Glamorous! Her top lip is insane; her hair is the perfect shade; I didn't notice the necklace until I read someone's comment about it, but it really completes the look.
I love the dress, I love the glasses but I prefer the jacket! it's soooooooo cool!
Dear Scott,
You are a fantastic photographer. I'm sure this girl is beautiful in real life, but the angle, the light, the colours, the shot in it's whole is perfect. So inspiring!
Many thanks (all the way from Amsterdam) for yet another enjoyable visit to your blog!

good photo, I like the reflection in the sunglasses and her pose that looks like something has caught her eye.
Wow
nice photo..i like her..your shot is like almost telling a short story the way she pose and the way she hold her chocolate drink, its perfect.
That hair! Perfectly sculpted. That lace! So delicate and flimsy.
Maybe she actually likes Starbucks? I love their frozen drinks (coffee tastes burnt to me).
She is flat out gorgeous.
I think she represents modern Japan quite well. She's mixed so many looks while still maintaining that delicacy that is so popular. She is stunning, and I think that the Starbucks just makes her seem real. Without it she would be too ethereal and almost editorial.
All in all, one of my favourite photos I've ever seen on here. What a beautiful moment.
I LOVE this look: the military jacket, the vintage top, the curves, the sunglasses AND the starbucks cup. What's wrong about a starbucks cup (?)? I like to drink things from them...

Wow shes gorgeous. And boy do I want a drink of that! Yum yum, Starbucks.

I haven't been back to Japan in quite a while, but even back in the '90's they sold very delicate, petite jewelry. I have the tiniest pair of gold heart earrings...
i am not a fan of starbucks myself and avoid it at all costs. However this does make me crave some iced coffee stat! I know where I will be this afternoon!
Great pic!

Such great attitude. Definitely feeling the Marilyn Monroe vibe here, but she's completely hijacked it and made it her own.
oh wow... delicate hands!
Just as the comments suggesting cosmetic surgery are ridiculous, I think the comments rebutting them are equally outrageous. What is this underlying, unspoken negative air surrounding cosmetic surgery? Maybe she did and maybe she didn't. It's just an observation. Our society has become so receptive of it that we no longer feel the need to hide it if we get something done here or there. Some people are getting into an uproar that others are assuming that this lady got work done. Valid point but at the same time, how do we know that she didn't? And if she did, how do we know that it hasn't helped her become a more confident and beautiful woman? I've met people who love it when they get complimented on the work that's been done as much as being told that he/she is naturally gorgeous.
This woman is beautiful no matter what. And the photography is out of this world. Nice job!
wauw! gosh, this is just...wauw
It's the shortes moment that a your coffe is that fresh. With relaxed pose and a perfect manicure on top it's a eye catcher.
im a girl, i thikn she looks so glam.
Stunning. Everything about her is just stunning without effort. The creamy skin, the lips, shades, hair, lace...perfection. J'adore!
i have no words.
