‘Blog’ is such an ugly word. It’s almost too daggy to be associated with the stylistically elite likes of Scott Schuman of The Sartorialist fame, a dapper American chap who makes the whole computer geek-esque act of creating an online diary, fastidiously updated daily, look very cool and in fashion.
That’s because Scott Schuman is intuitively fashionable. His astute sense of fashion and style, classic, edgy or otherwise veers him towards attractive and superbly dressed strangers on the street, who allow him to take glossy mag-quality pictures of them for his blog.
Schuman is up there with Lily Allen and Chk Chk Boom girl when it comes to internet sensations. Now reaping the rewards sewn in humble Blogspot (and a myriad of other fashion side projects) he is amongst Time magazine’s top 100 design influencers, has a monthly column in GQ magazine, and has turned his blog into a book.
Scott Schuman is in Australia, assessing antipodean style and will be signing his book in Sydney and Melbourne this week. Meet the man behind the blog and maybe get your photo taken.
