Synopsis

In the beginning, Scott Schuman just wanted to take photographs of people that he met on the streets of New York who he felt looked great. The blog he started, thesartorialist.com, is now an interantionally renowned site and a showcase for the wonderful and varied sartorial tastes of real people across the globe. This book is a beautiful anthology of Scott's favourite images, accompanied by his insightful commentary. Published here as a limited edition hardback, with a hand-signed card from Scott inside, it includes photographs of well-known fashion figures alongside people encountered on the street whose personal style and taste demands a closer look.

From the streets of New York to Florence, Stockholm, to Paris, London to Moscow and Milan, these are the men and women who have inspired Scott and the widely diverse readers of his blog.

The quirky, the refined, the interesting, the elegant, and the sometimes outrageous come together in a visual history. . . chock-full of photographs you will want to pore over with friends . . . Make some room on your bookshelf (New York Times)

Scott doesn't just take pictures, he captures emotion.
There are people in this world who love hard and that's what guides them. These outfits aren't just pieces of colored fabrics sewn together to cover the human body but a display of dreams. Everything has a story, from the shoe designer's first trip to her grandmother's closet to the coat designer's first cold winter in Russia. These outfits express everything we know and have felt up to this point in time and Scott archives it all.

He is not just a photographer. He's an historian marking the feelings of this generation one photo at a time.
