And Now There's A Book

The infamous fashion blogger Scott Schuman of The Satorialist has been working on his first book since January and it is scheduled for release on August 12th. The book includes photographs of well know fashion figures alongside photographs of real people with exceptional style. He bridges the gap between runway and street style just like on his blog (although we all know what he defines as street style is more like people with style and money). The book covers Paris, London, Moscow, Milan, New York City, Florence, and Stockholm, but most importantly it is a prime selection of Schuman's favorite fashion shots. It will be avaliable at amazon, and barnes and nobles. For a limited time it will be available in hardcover for a staggering $175 (a little cheaper on various websites), but if you aren't willing to shell out that type of cash the paperback version is a affordable $15-17. Here is a little preview and its quite predictable.

On a slightly different and in so many ways better note, the satorialist has a girlfriend.....and she has a blog...a really good blog. Like her loverboy she is all about the photographs. Crisp, clean photographs of extremely fashionable and attractive Europeans. However, she adds a lot of sketches, which she draws herself, and she is more focused on females. Don't let her personal menswear inspired style fool you, her blog is full of variety and distinctiveness. Definitely check it out there is literally no way you won't like it.
