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.

 Fashionista Fantasy October 5, 2009
Tony Medeiros (Montreal)
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
I know nothing about fashion, my wife would attest that statement. By chance I picked up this book and looked at the pictures of a wealth of fashionable individuals just like me and you. The Sartorialist spoke volumes about humanity and the day some of them ran into Scott Schuman and he snapped a picture of them. Scott Schuman, The Sartorialist is a visual camera voyeur who captures the essence what he thinks at the moment on his search of pedestrian cool. He captures the spirit of well put together individuals who have a flare for individual fashion. His book, The Sartorialist, is based on his blog by the same name. Scott Schuman is yet another example of a blogger who has given us a fashionista fantasy of actual people who walk the streets in fine fashion. This is a great book for both those in fashion but also it serves as a time capsule for the future of our present time. Fashion is about a state of being. Bad clothes will make a person feel like crap. This book is visual candy and will give you ideas on how to sculpture your wardrobe into a stylish personality.

This book is a must for every fashion, photography and people lover. I enjoyed the pics and the written parts very much. It also gives you great ideas about styling and creating an atmosphere if you're dealing with fashion on a daily basis. I loved it, can't wait for the second one (which I hope is already in the making-of).

Sartorialist is Picture Perfect December 26, 2009

Ok. Let me confess. I'm a huuuge fan of the blog. This book is a presentation of the best pictures culled from Scot Schuman's blog, The Sartorialist. It is a visual and stylish delight. Absolutely wonderful to flip through. The photographs are stunning studies of individual style and quite a colorful inspiration. See all those boots and carmel brown shoes in the photos? Now look around, and you'll see them everywhere in everytown. I think Scot S made a strong impact on fashion, by stylishly chronicling it.
Great content. December 28, 2009

I was suprised at the size of this book. It's on the smaller size but very thick and inside I found so many great fashion photographs. It really made me want to dress up and travel the world! I especially loved the photos shot in Paris--so stylish! Overall, this is a great purchase and I am so glad to add it to my collection.
the best book for a true fashionista October 14, 2009

The Sartorialist is a great book for every person who is interested in fashion,personal style and photography. Scott Schuman is talented in reproducing personality through all his photos.
