One of the reasons I first became interested in blogging was my discovery of several fascinating fashion blogs: Jak and Jil, Sea of Shoes, Fashion Toast, Garance Dore, and of course the Sartorialist. The Sartorialist is the digital rendering by Scott Schuman an ex fashion industry insider who entered the online world over 4 years ago. Since then, the Sartorialist has received international acclaim as one of the most influential design blogs and has developing a cult-like following among international fashionistas. Scott shoots a combination of regular people and fashion elite. He is as interested in capturing the old and abnormal as he is in shooting the young and beautiful. What sets Scott’s photographs apart is that he attempts to convey not just outward style but also the personality and inner essence of the human spirit in all its complexities. The expressive and candid nature of his photographs created an exquisite compilation for his first self-titled book.
When I conducted my daily log-on to the Sartorialist last week I noticed that Scott would be conducting a series of book signings starting with, can you believe it? Paris. On Saturday I trooped across the river to Colette, a chic Parisian store on St. Honore, and after waiting for what seemed like eternity I came face to face with the master himself. After getting my book signed I skipped over to the Tuileries gardens to lie in the sunshine and devour my new purchase.
Everyone wants to be photographed for the Sartorialist.
Wear your finest, strike a pose, and pray.
These people know what's up.
