Suzanne Streetwalker.jpgSuzanne, 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.

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!

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!

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.

Heather Streetwalker 1.jpgHeather, 25, hairstylist


Got her: Sitting outside the Austin Convention Center at SXSW, talking on her phone

Stalked her: Because we noticed her hair from across the street, and love it even more now that we know she cuts and colors it herself

Shot her: Because that's a lot of jersey for a girl from Chicago

She says: "I just knew I wanted a bright pink something, so I just got a long piece of jersey from a fabric store to style like a scarf."

We say: Maybe we'll find Heather tomorrow, repackaged as a lead singer?

Streetwalker: Well Look Who It Is...

Mar 12, 2008 @ 12:00pm

victoryaandjack.jpgJack, 38, Designer & Victorya, 34, Designer


Got Them: At Bergdorf Goodman for an Italian Textile Exhibit, (more on that later). Chris was there too, but he's a bit camera shy!

Stalked Them: Because every time we see a designer, we want to know if they made their own outfit. And because we had to know what they'd been up to since their dramatic exits from Project Runway.

Shot Them: Because we're having fun racking up Project Runway streetwalkers faster than you can say, "Auf Wiedersehen."

Jack Says: "The shirt's Gucci and the jeans are Levi's - but I made my body. Does that count?"

Victorya says: "My shirt is vintage and my jeans are Earl. My first design job was at Earl and it was actually really fun. I got my boots in Paris and I have no idea who makes them, but I know I love them. And Paris sounds better than a brand anyway!"

We Say: When in doubt, always answer Paris.

Streetwalker: Christian Makes It Work

Mar 10, 2008 @ 10:51am

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: Ally Cat

allyhilfigeriscute.JPGAlly Hilfiger, 23, Designer Daughter/Artist/Producer/Star


Got Her: At the Tommy (Dad) Hilfiger Men's Presentation.

Stalked Her: Because we wanted to know if she was really shorter than Natalie.

Shot Her: Because black and white and fringed all over is our idea of a good time.

She Says: "The bracelet is an ancient Indian tradition, and every time it gets cut or falls off I retie it 6 times and say a prayer each time. It provides protection against everything."

We Say: "Tie her up, tie her down, we love her either way."
