Vince, 24, left, with Sarah, 27.
Got Him: At Pala, our favorite new restaurant.
Stalked Him: Because we loved the mix of patterns on his scarf and his shirt.
Shot Him: How often do you see a boy whose jeans actually fit?!
He Says: "I feel like I wear the same thing every day."
We Say: That's okay; so does Karl.
PS: Sarah's parents got her that scarf in South America. It's sort of The Muppets Do Couture, huh?

Sarah Sallee, Fashion Publicist with Kas PR
Got Her: Right outside our door, on Mott Street near Prince, getting out of a car.
Stalked Her: Because her red coat was billowing behind her, and we had to see the rest.
Shot Her: Because her mix of five colors actually looks cool rather than crazy.
She Says: "The shoes are Pierre Hardy, the jacket is Gryphon, the bag is YSL, the scarf is Wolford, the dress - I don't remember, the necklace is from Curve, and, oh, the coat, the coat is Matthew Williamson."
We Say: Hand over that coat! You'll still look good without it...

Scott Schuman, aka The Sartorialist, Photographer
Got Him: Celebrating the opening of his exhibit with a private viewing at The Danziger Gallery in Chelsea last night.
Stalked Him: Well, because he's the Sartorialist! But also because we've never seen a man so impeccably dressed in clothes that fit so precisely.
Shot Him: He's like the god of streetwalkers. And last time we caught him he was busy in action - we thought it was time for a close up shot.
He Says: "The suit's Boglioli. I mean, I can sleep in this suit, I can shoot in it. It's not incredibly expensive. Most of the time I'm moving around so I need to be comfortable. The shoes are Vass, super comfortable, super awesome. Shoe trees are key. I always pay extra for my overweight luggage when I head to Europe and it's all for the shoe trees. I mean if i have a thousand dollar pair of shoes, I want them to last. If something's bespoke, I want it to work well."
We Say: It works very well.

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?!

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!

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!

Chloe, 22, NYU student
Got Her: On Second Avenue in the East Village.
Stalked Her: Because we were walking just behind her white coat and Marni shoulder bag, and had to see what the outfit looked like from the front.
Shot Her: Because with all the black bulky coats on the street for winter, this was a crisp and cool alternative. Also, we're a sucker for red ankle boots.
She Says: "My coat is from a vintage shop in England, and I got my Marni bag at an outlet store in Italy, when I was studying abroad there. I like designer things but I don't pay that much for them - I have Prada shoes from Milan that were like 70 Euros. And I just bought these shoes this morning, from the Marc by Marc Jacobs store. They were fifty bucks! I bought like four pairs!"
We Say:: Sale away!
