Streetwalker: Blue Moves

Natalia, student of The Institute of Audio Research.

Got Her: Heading south on Mott Street just below Prince.

Stalked Her: Because her (literally) head to toe blue look was just oh so Pantone 2008.

Shot Her: Because upon closer inspection, we realized she was wearing one of those puffy jackets we've always hated, but in a way we didn't hate.

She Says: "The jacket is Armani Exchange, the bag is Marc Jacobs, the shoes are DKNY, and the jeans - I have no idea. I dyed my hair blue back in Moscow, where I work as a DJ under the name 'Le Bleu.'"

We Say: Stand alone, Le Bleu!

I'm having problems with the shoes. Love the hair.

the shoes are cute, just not with SOCKS and cuffed jeans.

you people are such snots. the jacket is fabulous and indications of style is still style even if it is not dripping off every section of the person's skin.

I typically don't like to insult "streetwalkers"...but this is bad news

I think I remember reading about those jackets in nylon... they're like not puffy puffers made of leather. I could be wrong though.

This is just whatever...I do like the jacket and her hair, but it is not streetwalker-worthy.

This segment is no Sartorialist, but it is WAY better than the version at racked.com. Has anyone seen those? The person is almost always so unbelievably not stylish I feel like it is just a cruel joke at their expense...especially since they let readers vote on them.

12:14 guest, I agree -- the ones on Racked are so boring! They had one guy in freaking cargo shorts and flip flops -- come on, is an overgrown Spring Breaker really representative of interesting NYC street style?
