SHOP: The SartoriaLUST Pop-Up At Barneys On Madison Ave.

Picture 7

One of our favorite street photographers Scott Schuman, better known at the Sartorialist, has organized his own pop-up at Barneys! Full of lust-worthy items, Schuman displays his luxurious taste at the ‘SartoriaLUST,’ which includes pieces from Maison Martin Margiela, Dries Van Noten, APC, and Ralph Lauren, among others.  Prices are high, but isn’t that the point of lust-worthy?

Picture 13Picture 14Face Hunter: Another worldwide photo snapper, Face Hunter was the first style blog that I ever began to frequent (back when I was still in Michigan and didn’t know my way around the internet). I think I made a wise first choice, and I’ve been coming back ever since.

From an extensive wardrobe/ shoe collection to a current collaboration with Urban Outfitters and now a window display at Canada’s department store, Holt Renfrew, this girl is really making it big. Holt Renfrew has payed window-display tributes to other bloggers, such as The Sartorialist and Jak & Jil,  but to be 17-years-old and in the window of a department store is quite the accomplishment! So, when does Fashion Indie get a window display?

Formal yet causal, try and figure out how that one’s possible. Well this guy managed to pull it off. The informal beanie mixed with this amazing shirt, tie, jacket combo is stunning. I love the random touches of color too (pocket square and tie). I just wonder what;s on his feet!

I absolutely love this look, the guy sort of looks like Ron from Harry Potter, but with great style. The short pants, oxfords, printed sweater and amazing overcoat turn this young man into the Thom Browne runway version of Ron Weasley.

 Scott Schuman Reveals Book Deal Details fashion

Scott Schuman, otherwise known as The Sartorialist, has teased us with some info on his upcoming debut book.

It will be published by Penguin and be around 500 pages of images with a little writing.

Publication for the huge paperback is slated for September 2009 (convenient for Fashion Week people), and you know he’s touring the world with it.

A Little Love From Boston

A Little Love From Boston fashion

Well since my departure from The Big Apple, my fashion experience has been far from stellar, but right when I think I’m down and out something comes to pick me up along the way. I have decided that I’m going to post as much of the local fashion as I can (that is Fashion Indie worthy of course). The first big thing I stumbled upon was Boston’s very own Sartorialist. Susie is the girl behind the lens for Click/Clash blog that focuses on the cool and trendy in Boston. Be sure to check out some of the great shots she has acquired along the way.

Scott Schuman for DKNY fashion

The Sartorialist himself, Scott Schuman has shot the new Spring 2009 DKNY Jeans campaign.

Featuring indie favorites like Chanel Iman, Sean Lennon, and Daisy Lowe, the ads are in trademark Schuman style — an individual stopped and snapped while strolling through the city.

Schuman’s ads will debut in February in magazines, on billboards, and online.

The “Curvy” (But I Really Mean Skinny) On Daisy Lowe

The Curvy (But I Really Mean Skinny) On Daisy Lowe fashionIf Daisy Lowe is considered “curvy,” then America’s Next Top Model cycle 10 winner, Whitney Thompson, despite her beautiful plus-size model body, is “morbidly obese.” 

Okay, so Lowe is the new face for Marc Jacob’s Marc by Marc Spring 2009 campaign. Rumor also has it that she snagged the DKNY campaign, to be shot by The Sartorialist photographer Scott Schuman. Jacobs calls her “adorable” and and Fashionologie says Lowe could bring about “the death of size zero.” Compliments? Yes. Patronizing compliments? You bet.

Whoever thinks Daisy Lowe is a “curvy” model really ought to have their eyes checked. Let us assess the situation: 

Height: 5′ 10″

Measurements: 32.5″ – 25.5″ – 35″

Lowe is an A-cup, with a tiny waist, the average model hip measurements and a typical model height. She isn’t curvy at all. If anything, Whitney Thompson should be considered curvy and NOT plus sized. And the media wonders why eating disorders are so popular these days.

 

Thanks Fashionologie.

First Look: Adam Kimmel SS09 Collection


Find more photos like this on manindie

The new collection by Adam Kimmel is oen that follows in the footsteps of everything we have ever seen from him. The lackluster sillouettes, funky patterns and trendy designs is stereotypical Kimmel. I can’t say I’m impressed with him falling in the path of “ordinary models”, but with the concept of his designs and the use of regular model, I can’t knock him for the decision. I like the look, I don’t think the older type people shown in the images will go for it, but if they did they would be draping the pages of The Sartorialist. My next mission is to get my grandpa in something like this!

Thanks to Selectism for the pictures.

The Bashed: Vogue’s Attempt at Finding Street Heroes

My mom always told me “If you have nothing nice to say, then don’t say anything.” Well sorry mom, today is the day I bash the fashion magazine you raised me on. While surfing Vogue’s website, I realized that whoever is in charge of the “Street Chic” section must be scrounging for fashionable city slickers. I know that Vogue has more important things to worry about, but why on earth would the kings and queens of the fashion industry allow websites like The Sartorialist and Face Hunter run circles around them when it comes to scoping out well done street fashion? Rumor has it that The Sartorialist is in charge of Vogue’s “Street Chic,” but if that is the case, he obviously gave Vogue all of the reject shots. Feast your eyes on fashion that is anything but “heroic”: 

The Bashed: Vogues Attempt at Finding Street Heroes fashion

I guess this girl threw on everything white in her closet...must have been the day before Labor Day.

The Bashed: Vogues Attempt at Finding Street Heroes fashion

Frumpy plaid is chic? I saw her dad wear that shirt yesterday.

The Bashed: Vogues Attempt at Finding Street Heroes fashion

Vogue...why would you advocate people who wear high-waisted jeans the WRONG way? She looks like she's going to pick up the kids at soccer, or drop them off at the pool. Take your pick.

The Bashed: Vogues Attempt at Finding Street Heroes fashion

Congratulations! You look like every other tourist who visits New York City in the fall!

The Bashed: Vogues Attempt at Finding Street Heroes fashion

Wait. So you're telling me that if I wear a raincoat and leggings I'll make an appearance on Vogue.com? Game on!

The Bashed: Vogues Attempt at Finding Street Heroes fashion

A t-shirt. A pair of jeans. Some Converse. How is this "Street Chic" worthy?

The Bashed: Vogues Attempt at Finding Street Heroes fashion

I can hear "Dueling Banjos" in the background. Yuck.

 

Sorry Vogue…please don’t let this bash jeopardize my internship application come next fall…please.

Trendspark: A Button Slowly Rises

Trendspark: A Button Slowly Rises fashion

The Sartorialist spotted this gent on the Paris. Notably great style, but what struck me as TrendSparkable was his ability to make his shirt look very cool by buttoning up his collar to the top. No whisks of chest hair, no unimportant chainage. Just clean, proper style. Skipping the tie adds to the effect and voila, instant Street Hero.

Trendspark: Men In Heels

Trendspark: Men In Heels fashion

Trendspark: Men In Heels fashion

We have all heard about Marc Jacobs wearing his skirts around, but it seems as though his high heel wearing is the trend that is really taking off. It has been popping up left and right on the runway, but it isn’t officially sparked until it hits the streets. The Sartorialist recently snapped a shot of this guy rocking his black heels on the streets of London. Apparently he isn’t the only one doing it either. London has sprouted an array of heels loving dudes who apparently need a little height added on. I personally don’t think I could pull it of because it would make me like 6′ 5″ and that’s just awkwardly tall. As random and potentially “gay” you may think this is, I don’t view it as any real surprise. Platform shoes were big back in the 60’s and even the men were wearing thick heels. It’s going to be tough for the people who are the real trendsetters to kick this one off, but I definitely can see this happening again. So pick your poison, trendsetter or trend follower?

Thanks to High Heels Passion and Fashionologie for the images.

Does gold ever look bad? I would kill for those shoes, and the big pendant necklace is a great touch. Not wild about the cropped pant though, good thing it's starting to get a little chilly for that.
