so this is pretty much like the first book. Maybe a bit better. There are a few more freaks, a bit more diversity. Still no fatties! what? and to my agravation Scott Schuman goes on about how to be fashionable one should find inspiration in someome with style who has a similar body shape to your own, well, no one in this book has a similar body shape to me. That makes me sad.

Much in the same vein as his first book. If you're looking for a 'trend guide' or a collection of what's 'hot' in fashion, you'll probably be disappointed. But if you're open to learning about how Schuman's understanding of style and personal expression is growing and evolving as he continues to shoot street style images from around the world via the ones he has chosen to curate within this book and the sparse but incisive commentary he intersperses throughout to accompany them, you will probabl...more
'The Sartorialist' is the title of a street style photography website created by New York based photographer Scott Schuman. Since it's inception, the site has generated upwards of 14 million page views per month, and Mr Schuman, with style blogger Garance Doré, was recently awarded the 2012 Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) Media Award.
'The Sartorialist' website was created to share photos of people on the street that Mr Schuman thought looked great. Over time, his content and narra...more

This is my first book from the collection and I really enjoyed it. It is so inspirational! There is a difference when we see fashion trends in magazines and in the media versus seeing how 'real' people are interpreting and executing these styles to reflect their own sensibilities and lifestyle. It is a great resource for visual inspiration and to have a pulse on styles from all over the world.
Assolutamente imperdibili le immagini meravigliose di Scott Schuman...scatti fotografici immortalati per strada...eleganza e stile personale dei protagonisti ma soprattutto le doti di Scott, la capacità di giocare con le luci, le ombre i riflessi e gli sfondi..da sfogliare con attenzione per tutti i fashion-victims
I loved looking at this book, portraits of people a la Bill Cunningham, or the Humans of New York blog. I didn't even know what the word sartorialist meant until today: Of or relating to a tailor, tailoring, or tailored clothing: sartorial elegance. This guy has an eye.
Wonderful pictures, it was hard to put down! Nicely done, with some written bits by the photographer. I loved what he had to say about personal style, and how it's not about owning what's trendy but about owning things you love and wearing them.
Again, the same pleasure as an ice cream sandwich. In fact, I stared at these people while eating ice cream sandwiches. I'm not sure anything was "closer" but that didn't matter. There could be a Closest and I'd happily stare at it.

After enjoying these many expressions of fashion and personality, I feel a lot free-er to wear whatever I'd like, which is pretty much what I do anyway. Now with more license. :^)
The photographer captures ordinary persons who display fashion sense. Each subject is sharply-defined against a background that tells a story.
Loved it, very inspirational. Loved seeing people through Scott Schumann's eye.

Wonderful, wonderful fashion reference. I learn a lot from Scott Schuman.
not reading, really just gazing. What an eye this guy has!
Still great with many inspiring pictures, but just less stellar compared to his first book.
Less 'commentary' too, which sucks.

Brilliant. The equivalent of people watching...
