Book Description
Scott Schuman just wanted to take photographs of people on the street who looked great. His now famous blog ('the bellwether American site that turned photo blogging into an art form' - "New York Times") was an attempt to showcase the wonderful and varied sartorial tastes of real people - not only those of the fashion industry. The book is a beautiful anthology of Scott's favourite shots from around the world. They include photographs of well-known fashion figures as well as those shots of the anonymous passerby whose imagination and taste delight the viewer. From the streets of Rio to Bejing, Stockholm to Milan, these are the people that have inspired Scott and in turn, inspired designers and people of all ages, wages and nationalities with an interest in fashion. Intimately designed and created with Scott, the book is a handsome object in its own right, in full colour on hand-picked, quality paper. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

A Look Inside The Sartorialist

About the Author:

Scott Schuman started The Sartorialist blog simply to share photographs of people he saw on the streets of New York who he thought looked great. After 15 years in the fashion business, Scott felt a growing disconnect between what he saw on the runways and in magazines versus what real people were wearing. The Sartorialist was his attempt to redress the balance. Since its beginning, the blog has become hugely admired and influential, it currently receives about 155,000 visitors a day. Thesartorialist.com is consistently named one of the top blogs in the word. A self-taught photographer, Schuman has turned his experience at The Sartorialist into a respected photography career shooting stories for publications including French Vogue, American GQ and Elle Magazine. Scott has also shown his work at the New York photo gallery The Danziger Projects and appeared in the 2008 GAP Style Icon campaign. Just named one of the 100 most creative people in business by Fast Company Magazine, he has also been named the number one fashion photography trend by American Photo magazine, and one of Time magazine's top 100 design influencers.
