The Sartorialist by Scott Schuman

For 16.50 US dollars, now you can pre-order Scott Schuman's new self-titled book to be released on August 12, 2009.

Amazon's book description says, "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."

I love Schuman's work, so I probably will order the book. What do you think?

  6. Szívesen átlapoznám...

    Off: Kicsit sokat szörfölök az eBay-en ezért találok mindig valamit. Vannak olyan tervezők akik mindig listán vannak nézegetés szinten. :-) Az egzotikus bőrök (nyilván sok állatvédő bánatára) mindig felcsigáznak. :-)

  8. Tuti, hogy megveszem, olvastam róla én is, már be is írtam a naptáramba a szeptember elején esedékes európai megjelenést. Ennyi pénzt megér, még akkor is, ha a pár posttal korábbi ábra óta pontosan tudjuk, hogy készülnek a képek :D

  11. I don't check the satorialist as often as I used to but this would certainly be a book that would be fun to flick through.
