The sartorialist- on the street, Angelika, Milan- me!


Looook! These are the pics taken by Scott Schuman during Milano fashion week,it's incredible, you cannot imagine how I feel ecxited for being on The Sartorialist. But I want to tell you about our meeting... It was the morning of the third day and as usal I was on late for the ending of the first(at least,my first)show of the day,I think it was Moschino,I arrived running,rushing,I jumped in the crown trying to shoot some models who were coming out and going to the next shows,I saw Caroline from stockholmstreetstyle shooting my purple litas,then I don't remember much more,just a big caos, people running, screaming, 2 photographers fighting for something and Ruby Aldridge looking very interested at them.
Then I saw Scott on the sidewalk looking at me between curious and interested (you know, like when in his documentary he's looking at that girl, exactly like that ,also with the sun shining behind him as in the video). So I run to Pier all excited for inform him of that, I kept on screamingand laughing just because he looked at me, but after a few minutes he came to us, introduced himself and told me that he would have liked take some pictures of me later, after Ferre' show (because of the emotion and my bad english i didn't understand a lot, fortunately Pier was there for translating). Obviously I accepted with a 36-teeth smile (or how many are they?32?). Than we met again some days later and also in that circumstance he wanted to take some pictures. It was really incredible, to be shoot by such an important photographer that I deeply admire and to know a person so kind, elegant and fair as Scott revealed to be.


ps: about the controversy on his blog because of words like "curvy"or"big" udes by him to definy my body,i just can say that i never felt hurt.i think i have a normal body neither fat nor thin,curvy is ok,of course my body was pretty different fro the other girls where around there,wheter they are models,editors,bloggers of whatever,I was taller and more...curvy! but I did not mind at all.






Guardateeeeee! Queste sono le foto scattate da Scott Schuman durante la settimana della moda di Milano, non è incredibile, non potete immaginare quanto sono emozionata nel vedermi su The Sartorialist!!!! Ma voglio raccontarvi il nostro incontro. Era la mattina del terzo giorno della settimana della moda e come al solito ero in ritardo per la fine della prima( al meno, per me era la prima) sfilata del giorno, che credo fosse stata quella di Moschino, arrivata di corsa, tutta affannata, mi sono lanciata nella mischia cercando di scattare qualche foto alle modelle che stavano uscendo-correndo alla prossima tappa del giorno, ho visto subito Caroline di Stockholm.streetstyle che si abbassava per scattare qualche foto da vicino alle mie Litas viola, poi non mi ricordo più molto, solo un grande casino, gente che correva, urlava, due fotografi che stavano per menarsi e Ruby Aldridge che li guardava affascinata. Poi vidi Scott a bordo del marciapiede che mi guardava incuriosito-interessato ( avete presente quella scena del documentario quando guarda quella ragazza, ecco era esattamente così, c'era anche il sole che lo illuminava da dietro proprio come nel video), saltellai subito da Pier tutta agitata per informarlo dell'accaduto, continuavo a urlacchiare, ridacchiare emozionata solo dal fatto che mi aveva osservata, ma poi qualche minuto dopo si è avvicinato e si è presentato e mi ha detto che avrebbe voluto farmi qualche foto più tardi dopo la sfilata di Ferrè ( dal emozione e grazie al mio pessimo inglese non ho capito un granchè, per fortuna Pier era vicino a me pronto a fare il traduttore ;D) ovviamente accettai con un sorriso smagliante a 36 denti ( o quanti sono, 32?). Poi ci siamo rivisti qualche giorno dopo e anche in quella occasione ha voluto scattarmi qualche foto. E' stato davvero incredibile, sia essere stata fotografata da un fotografo così importante che ammiro immensamente che conoscere una persona tanto gentile, elegante e disponibile che si è rivelato essere Scott.


ps: per quanto riguarda la polemica che si è generata sul suo blog, a causa delle parole come "curvy", "big" usate da lui per definire il mio corpo, posso solo dire che personalmente non mi sono assolutamente sentita offesa. Penso di avere un corpo normale, non sono nè grassa nè magra, curvy si addice sicuramente, ovviamente lì il mio fisico si distingueva parecchio da quelli di tutte le altre ragazze che erano lì, sia che si trattasse di modelle, di editor, di blogger o chiunque altro, io ero sia molto più alta che più... curvy! Ma la cosa non mi dispiaceva affatto ;)







Hi Scott, after several years spent looking at your pictures it's unbelieveble to see me on your blog! thank you so much,I promise I will improve my english for the next time I'll see you ;)

thank you very much for all the sweet comments i read.i also saw many of you are interested in taking a look at my blog,i leave here the adress

http://angystearoom.blogspot.com

kisses, Angelika






Just about the using of the words,as the question was around me,i can say i wasn't offended at all,i don't think that curvy and big are sinonimous of overweight or fat,i believe indeed that being called curvy has a positive meaning.i'm of course different from the most of the girls who work in this business but i can ensure that i'm not fat or overweight,i'm healty,this is my body shape and i think that scott used those words just to focus my qualities,people should look beyond it and appreciate that such a influent blog like this published a kind of body which is different from the ones you use to see in the fashion business.

anyway,I don't speak english very well so maybe i cannot give these words the correct meaning,or maybe for this reason i can give the right meaning to these words beyond the prejudices that maybe are around "big"and "curvy

Angelica
curvy= femininity and not= fat, overweight

  1. Congratulations! I would like to appear on The Sartorialist as well, but due to distance becomes a little improbable.
    By the way, I love your boots. Greetings from ARGENTINA

  3. Congratulations! I love his work and it must be an honour to be photographed by him. I've read some of the comments that come out when he posted your photos on his blog and I think you handled it perfectly. I have a body very similar to yours and didn't take it as an insult when I read he used the words "bigger" or "curvier" because if we see the context, he's absolutely right. Most of the girls you see outside fashion shows have a complete different body. That doesn't make one or the other more or less beautiful. I understand that media promotes a super skinny body type but society has to understand that we are all different and see those differences as something positive. Hope that I made a point, English is not my first language and I have difficulties to transmit my ideas sometimes.
    Greetings from Argentina too!

  4. You are beautiful and so are the photographs! I'm so glad I found your blog after seeing them on the Sartorialist, you also do some amazing work.

    Haha I'm sure if there is any appropriate reaction to your curves, it was that the models, editors, bloggers or what have you were incredibly jealous : )

  9. Hi Angelica, here a fellow curvier fashion blogger (from Finland) is commenting on your wonderfull blog!
    I do not understand the need to differenciate us curvier girls from "the other bloggers". I would love it if we were highlighted solely because of our talent/style etc.
    Anyways, love your blog. I hope you don't mind I added it on my bloglist:)

  21. Angelica you are beautiful and your English is fine. Curvy = femininity. As a curvy women (curvy does not = fat) I don't hide my body. Instead, I show it off. I'm proud of what I look like, and it seems like you are too!

    ReplyDelete
  22. You look fabulous. Congratulations on your pix by Sart. I'll be following you now!

  24. I was really impressed with your photo @ The Sartorialist. "It's about time! Someone hot!" (Don't mean to sound creepy.)

    I really wish he starts posting different body types more often.

    At this point, we're all used to skinny/thin girls. So, anybody who doesn't look that way creates all this fuss. Is she curvY? Normal? Still thin? We're just not used to it anymore...

    I really thought you were bold, beautiful, sexy and inspiring. I'm a bit curvy too, but I'm only 1,60cm.

    I'll be following your blog!

  25. Those are beautiful pics and you have great style!

    Kudos for looking beyond the controversy others have made and congratulations on your great blog!

  29. So long have I been following, obsessing, and reading fashion blogs wondering if being "super skinny" was the only way to be fashionable. I think you are a wonderful inspiration and I love that you are perfectly content with being "curvy" (of course I, for one, think you are perfect). I just wanted to leave you a little message letting know I admire you so very much. I aspire to be like you :)

    ReplyDelete
  30. I just have to say that you have amazing style and that you are my fitness inspiration. Your body is as amazing as your style.

  31. You are gorgeous, one of the cutest, sexiest women I've ever seen..

    ReplyDelete
  32. Great blog! I think the Sartorialist did fantastic marketing for you, because many people (including myself) found your blog through those fantastic pictures! But what do I really love about your blog? It's in English and Italian!!!!!! I live in the Veneto and am trying to learn Italian. And now, your blog is going to be part of my lessons!

    Baci!

    ReplyDelete
  33. As you very cleverly pointed out, "curvy" doesn't mean "overweight". Curvy means "with curves." It's by all means a compliment!

    Thanks to Scott, I've discovered your blog and I love it!

  37. I was so excited to see you on the Sartorialist! Congratulations! I posted a comment on Scott's blog agreeing with you that curvy is something girls should be proud of. You look lovely, girl. Work it!

  38. Well i hit your blog from the sartorialist and i have to say its very nice, also i think that "curvy" is a positive way to discribe a body so i dont really see why it was so controversial to use it, sorry if im not that elocuent but congrats anyways

    ReplyDelete
  39. Congratulations, after reading what he said about you I don't think it was negative at all. People are just looking to complain.

  41. Your blog is great!

    From the words "bigger" and "curvy," I was definitely expecting someone larger than you are. I am sure he was using the context of the fashion world, which clearly you understood and took no offense to. But I can tell you that I am not overweight either, and I am bigger than you are. 5'10", 150 lbs, size 6.

    C'est la vie. And I like my curves.

  42. so nice to find your blog! i know you from the sartorialist!

  43. For curvy he meant "ammazza che bòna" but people understood wrong like he said "ah buzzicona che te sei magnata er dietologo?"

  47. i agree with you and i totally get what Scott was saying about your body, i think you look great, very pretty. Your body is big meaning that you're bigger then the models or other bloggers, but since when is that a problem? ahah There's pretty small girls, big girls, curvy girls, tall girls, skinny even. Beauty comes in all shapes and sizes and Scott just showed us that* ;) nice looks by the way

    ReplyDelete
  48. i read and was one of the first people to comment on scott's images of you. i thought you were absolutely gorgeous and agreed with him. you have a beautiful shape, whether or not it's defined as curvy. more importantly you have amazing style. when the two go hand in hand it's nothing short of perfection! so excited to have finally found your blog after searching for it too!

  56. The problem is that what used to be called "fat" is now called "big" or "curvy" by some people (mostly American) wanting to describe fat people without sounding nasty. Personally I prefer their original meanings, as do many many other people. That is what caused the controversy though - lots of people have forgotten that curvy means "with curves" and just read "fat" instead. Likewise they forget that "big" means big in height as well as big in girth. Which just goes to show how pointless it is using euphemisms to avoid hurting people.

  59. Hello Angelica,

    First off you are beautiful and have great style. Secondly, I would agree with Scott that you are indeed curvy. This, in my opinion of you, is not in comparision/relation to any other girl, but you are curvy and that too is beautiful about you. I honestly don't see what the big deal is about him using the word: as he pointed out, curvy is NOT RELATIVE to weight. I am 5'10", 155 lbs, a size 6 and would definitely describe myself as curvy. I love it (so does my boyfriend)! So kudos to you, you beautiful,curvy lady!

  64. Hi Angy, ever since I saw your photo on Scott's blog I've started wearing more leggings and tighter pants with shorter tops. Thank you! I credit you for this. I've struggled with my body image for years and I've just now come to finally accept the way that I am: neither skinny nor fat, simply...curvy!

  66. Love the fact that a normal, curvier girl is on The Sartorialist, first because I came across your blog, and secondly because I get more inspired if I see a body similar to mine. My role models when it comes to shapes and beauty are: Marilyn Monroe, Sofia Loren, Scarlett Johansson. Congrats the photos are lovely! kisses, Victoria, from Uruguay!
