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


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?

STREET HEROES: 6th Ave, NYC


Aside from this girl being super stylish in her cage heels and layers, I love the movement the Sartorialist captured in this on-the-go shot. Really shows how everyone has been during this Fashion Week, in a rush!

THE TEN: Best Street Style Blogs (Besides Fashion Indie, Of Course)

We asked, and you told! Here are some of the best street style blogs (besides ours), including some favorites mentioned by our Twitter followers (in no particular order):

IS MENTAL: An awesome blog in itself, but also featuring some rad streetstyle from the webworld

Altamira NYC: Nicknamed the ‘off duty models blog,’ all sorts of industry peeps are featured on Altamira, making it even better than it already is to look at for street style.

Hoy Fashion: Streetstyle from London, Manchester, and Liverpool. What I like best about this styleblog is that it also includes close-ups of everyone’s faces

Jak and Jil: An absolute favorite, Jak and Jil frequent events and fashion shows, catching models, designers, and other fashion peeps, which makes for the most fashionable styleblog on the web

Glam Canyon: A typical feature in Fashion Indie’s RAW feed, and another unique look at style worldwide

Style Defined: A look at NYC’s style elite, and a guest photographer at Fashion Indie’s SoHo Grand events!

The Sartorialist: Given. So painfully cool that they have their own book.

Lookbook.nu: The roots of style blogs everywhere (including numerous style bloggers). Lookbook.nu was formerly an exclusive street style blog for invited members only, but I think they’ve opened it to the rest of the public now (judging by some of the horrors found on the site…) Regardless, it’s always a good site for Street Heroes, by the thousands.

Face 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.

Click Clash: An East Coast street style blogger with a lot of fresh taste. Also, check out the blogroll in the right column, tons and tons of good clicks!

ENVY ALERT: Sea of Shoes’ Jane Aldridge Inspires Holt Renfrew Window Display




I have a hard time believing that Jane Aldridge, the girl behind Sea of Shoes, could have a better life. 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?
STREET HEROES: Milano


I LOVE that vest. She’s wearing the new Marc by Marc tee, and looking effortlessly awesome!

RANDOM: How To Get Shot By Scott Schuman

Hillary made Nylon Korea, I landed Paper Mag’s Street Style and an upcoming spot on Street Peeper, but Valeria is the the only one stylish enough to make her debut on The Sartorialist. Follow this step-by-step guide and maybe you will too!
Thanks Refinery 29!
ON THE STREET: Green Machine


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!

ON THE STREET: Too Cool For School


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


Scott Schuman, otherwise known as The Sartorialist, has teased us with some info on his upcoming debut book.
He reveals on his blog (maybe now he can afford a domain name…):
I was in London last week was to sign the contract and work on my first 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.
In the meantime, check out his campaign for DKNY Jeans.
ADDICT: Scott Schuman for DKNY Jeans




Last month we brought you a little peek at the Scott Schuman for DKNY Jeans Spring/Summer ad campaign.
Now some more shots have surfaced. I was sort of hoping the first teaser image wouldn’t be the final design, but it looks like the weirdly-bordered Sartorialist shots are here to stay…

A Little Love From Boston


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


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

If 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

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.
