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.
Arriving in a slipcase of printed cloth, lined with linen, each book will come with a printed card signed individually by Scott
The book will be printed in hardback with endpapers, head & tail bands
Each book will be packed into an individual, numbered case

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.
