Streetwalker: A Little Galliano, A Little YSL

Julia, 22, Hair/Fashion Stylist

Got Her: Catwalking on Greene Street in SoHo

Stalked Her: Because her hot pink lips and jet black bob caught our eye from across the street.

Shot Her: Because she was the ultimate anti-”florals for Spring” and what we first thought was simply a jacket worn backwards turned out to be made that way (a la 90’s Celine Dion/Galliano).

She Says: “The bag is Miu Miu, the other one is from Trader Joe’s. I got the jacket on sale at Century 21, it’s by Ilaria Nastri. Everything else was stolen from various shoots.”

We Say: “Maybe Kriss Kross had something there… “

Streetwalker: The TV Presenter

Didi Wagner, Brazilian TV host.

Got Her: Outside the Louis Vuitton boutique, Greene St., Soho.

Stalked Her: Because her red spangled cardigan was an appropriate spring Chanel reference, without being cloying.

Shot Her: Because high waisted jeans live! And look great!!!

She Says: “I wanted to dress up today, and so the tie made me feel a little bit more formal… like that photograph of Kirsten Dunst! Do I look like Kirsten Dunst?! Okay, no, not at all!”

We Say:: Yo, Rio!

Streetwalker: That 70’s Girl

Amanda, 25, boutique manager

Got Her: On the corner of Little West 12th and Washington, on her way to lunch

Stalked Her: Because we’ve been dying to wear our high waisted wide leg jeans, but we just can’t get them right in this weather.

Shot Her: Because she’s pulled off a subtle, real-life take on the 70’s shoot from last month’s W, and we’re in awe.

She Says: “I don’t like to be too trendy, but I thought if I matched a quiet, billowy top with my trendier denim, it makes the look more classic. I just want to be comfortable, and still sophisticated.”

We Say: Is it spring yet?!

Streetwalker: Tie After Tie

Laura, 22, Guggenheim staffer

Got Her: At the Louis Vuitton party for Richard Prince’s exhibit closing.

Stalked Her: Actually, yes, we did - we spotted her outfit from three balconies above the Guggenheim floor.

Shot Her: Because her silhouette was sophisticated, but her bow was gutsy. That’s a good combo.

She Says: “Most of my outfit is Alice Roi, but the bow tie is actually from a Mariachi band!”

We Say: Play on!

Streetwalker: Soyez Green

Suzanne, 30 , Executive Assistant

Got Her: Texting a friend at Style.com’s party at Glass Houses last night

Stalked Her: Because anyone who goes out in green tights deserves to be noticed

Shot Her: Because upon closer inspection, we realized the tights are genius (we noticed her from across the room and it was super packed), and there was something really cool happening on her back (click through!)

She Says: “I originally had on just black tights, but they had a huge snag in them, so I switched to this green pair I got at Target instead. And this is actually a long, open-backed top! I sewed straps into the back, and made it into a kind of dress!”

We Say: We’re green, people.

Streetwalker: Tight Club

Jess, 19, British fashion student.

Got Her: Outside the Anna Sui store in Soho.

Stalked Her: Because she looked cool and age appropriate.

Shot Her: Because she looked cool and age appropriate (sometimes, it’s that easy).

She Says: “I run around all day and I can’t wear heels. I’ve been wearing Converse since I was a kid and they’ve just become a big part of my style. And the colored tights are from my mum’s closet, they’re like, vintage nylon tights from the ’70s. It’s an easy way to look like you’ve done something with your style, even if you haven’t!”

We Say: Love at first tight!

Streetwalker: Christian Makes It Work

Christian Siriano, 21, Designer

Got Him: Floating among the Misshapes, random Real World cast members and Victorya, yes that Victorya, at Brad Walsh’s photography exhibit on Saturday night.

Stalked Him: Because we had to say, “Congratulations!” And because we had to know how it felt to never hear Heidi say, “Auf Wiedersehen.”

Shot Him: Because we noticed his shiny shirt the second we stepped in the room. And because his hair really does look like that.

He Says: “I made the top, the jeans are Cheap Monday, the vest is Topman, the necklace is Vivienne Westwood and the shoes are Comme Des Garcons - they’re my favorite.”

We Say: “Will you please make us a fierce ruffled jacket for spring?”

Streetwalker: Band Aids

Serai Zaffiro, singer, De Novo Dahl, 26

Got Her: On 6th street, near SXSW

Stalked her: Because we had to know more about her southwestern vintage-looking rhinestone getup

Shot her: Because we love when people add impromptu accessories like fabric tied like a belt to their outfits

She says: “We had these outfits made by a guy in California. They’re based after Nudie suits.”

We say: We love a rhinestone cowgirl.

Streetwalker: The Sartorialist

Scott Schuman, photographer

Got Him: Outside the Viktor Rolf show at the Tuilleries.

Stalked Him: Because we’ve been wondering exactly what the Sartorialist looks like in action.

Shot Him: Because he was sharply dressed and smiling like an aviator.

He Says: “You’re not allowed to tell me if you look good or not - that’s my job!”

We Say: Gotcha!
