Sartorial inspiration

I was treated to a glossy copy of Scott Schuman's, The Sartorialist for my 26th birthday and what a treat it was. As an attractive coffee table book it has captured the attention of many of my friends, including men who have no interest in fashion whatsoever. Hearing comments such as 'wow, this is really interesting" from 24 year old guys is definitely a testament to the photographers captivating street shots. The film below is a pretty special account from the man behind the lens, presented in a personal documentary style. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

English Gentleman

As a lover of street style, I really enjoy looking through the raw, untouched images of photographers such as Matt Irwin and Jeurgen Teller, and of course blogger Scott Schuman’s in The Sartorialist. Schuman’s style-seeking blog has been running for over four years and whilst I am a little tired of seeing even more photographs of affluent, trendy art students posing in front of a wall, I was pleasantly surprised by the very English sense of style that some of his male subjects have perfected in both London and New York. It seems that the Barbour jacket isn’t just hot with farmers in the depths of Sussex but it has been given a hip new makeover by London and New York’s most stylish gents. Take a look and see what you think!
