- Scott Schuman, while bragging about how much he makes [$250K] and how big his…audience is, manages to throw in a few jibes against 8-year-old blogging sensation Tavi Gevinson. claiming her success is a “conspiracy” [agreed] and essentially making fun of her for not having a boyfriend. I would say pick on someone your own size but if you’ve ever seen The Sartorialist, you’d realize that Tavi probably has a good inch or two on him. [Fashionista, The Cut]

- The new television Wonder Woman has nothing on Lynda Carter, not to mention that her costume looks like a cheap Jeremy Scott cast-off. [Socialite Life]

- The Sartorialist, Scott Schuman, caused a torrent of criticism when he referred to one of his subjects as curvy. Well, if the jeans barely fit, wear ‘em. [The Cut]

1. Wear more fur. I want to be on PETA‘s “Most Wanted List” in 2011. Hell, I’d kill a family of chinchillas, skin them and wear them if I could. Nature is going to shit anyway, so why not put those endangered species to good use? Drape me from head to stiletto in fur and if possible, blood diamonds — I will single-handedly ruin what’s left of this world.

2. No more jeggings. This is a hard one. I officially own more pairs of jeggings than I do of actual jeans, but the trend is already becoming horribly outdated. Still, on a bloated day, there’s nothing more comfortable than breathable cotton. Except maybe breathable cotton and a pint of Mint Chocolate Chip iced cream. I mean, you’re already bloated, might as well go down with the ship.

3. Find shoes that actually fit me. Yesterday I found a bit of blood in my socks from my combat boots digging unmercifully into my heels. And my pinky toe is all but dead from being constantly wedged into vintage shoes. But sometimes you have to pounce on a Cuban heel and suck it up for the sake of fashion.

4. Learn to tie a bowtie. Right now I only (sadly) have one bowtie, a clip on chambray from American Apparel. However, it behooves a gentleman to know how to properly affix a bowtie. That, and to mix a proper cocktail and to properly kiss another man with tongue.

5. Rely less on H&M. Gaga knows I love those damned Swedes. The majority of my wardrobe derives from Hennes and Mauritz, but as my style and tastes develop, I will inevitably have to stray from the flock. However, if they continue with their all-star collaborations, I might have to throw this resolution under the bus, much like the year I decided to “cut back on drinking.”

6. Bring back the ascot. This has been a resolution of mine since I was about 14 and why not?, it’s a perfectly reasonable neck accessory that doesn’t at all remind people of hapless, blond, teenaged snoops.  Over the years, I’ve periodically worn ascots to varying degrees of success. Once, I wore it on a job interview and I like to think it had nothing to do with my not receiving a callback.

7. Get photographed by The Sartorialist. This is partly just me stroking my own vanity. Okay, it’s completely just me stroking my own vanity, but dammit, do you think I’m walking around in capes, sequins and harem pants for fun?! Okay, I totally am, but I would at least like it documented for posterity’s sake.

8. Find a practically-sized day bag. When traipsing about New York, I like to be prepared for any and everything, thus I carry a man purse that would put Mary Poppins’ magical carpet bag to shame. More than once have I pulled out a coat rack from the depths of my tote, but no longer! I’m actually contemplating a stylish backpack (suggestions, anyone?), or a medium-sized tote for my everyday travels. And that’s what I like to call “progress.”

9. Find a good tailor. A good tailor is absolutely essential — not just to let out one’s clothing after gorging on holiday fare, though that in itself is god’s work — but sometimes the perfect pair of pants can be a bit too big or a bit too short. Enter a tailor and for a few bucks, those Cheap Mondays look a little less cheap.

10. Shop more. The bottom-line to all this resolving and promise-making is that I need to step up my shopping game. That means I’ve got to throw around more plastic than an Ultimate Frisbee championship, roll out more dough than a pizzeria and carry more bags than Oprah‘s eyes.

It’s a tough job, but in order to truly make a change in 2011, it’s necessary.

Yes. I. Can.

Do you read fashion blogs?
Yes of course! I started at the beginning of 2010 because of all this interest in this online digital media, but I always followed Scott (Schuman), Garance and Tommy Tom since they started.

My favs are: The Sartorialist, Garance Doré, Jak and Jil, BryanBoy, Chic Muse, Shelby, All The Pretty Birds, Purple Diary, Self Service Blog, Style Rookie, The Love Magazine, Swide Magazine, and Scala Regia.

None. I like to see every show. I really enjoy the vibe when the shows start.

Shoes! I can survive without clothes, but I will die if i don’t get the right shoes. I collect them I have more than 4,000 pairs of shoes and if I can wear a Zara dress, I cannot wear cheap shoes.

Because I travel so much I like to shop properly in each different city. For example US designers in NYC (Marc Jacobs, Phi, Proenza Schouler, Alexander Wang, Joseph Altuzarra, Rodarte,) French designers in Paris, and Italian designers in Milan.

To not get old! Fashion keeps me young and keeps my eyes fresh. I have to update myself every morning.  I’m so curious  about all the visionary phenomena that changes the contemporary scenario. I call myself  “the vestal of fashion” because for me fashion is a muse and you must seduce her.  How? You have to feed the creative fire, so it doesn’t vanish.

If you’ve been given a weekend to do anything, anywhere, what would you do?

I love to do intensive workshop of Astanga yoga completed by a long swim, meditation, and pranayama.

Carine Roitfeld. She has always fascinated me with her intriguing attitude and her incredible way of dressing.

I always say that the visibility is not enough to start in this profession, it’s  hard work.  You need to assist some editors with humbleness and devotion for a least 10 years. You must to do without speaking and with a watchful eyes only to learn.

A Saleswoman. I love buying clothes and I’d  like to be in a shop dressing up  other women.

Thanks Anna, check out her great blog here

LINK LOVE:THE VERY BEST OF THE SARTORIALIST MAY 2010

Swide talks to Scott Schuman (the Sartorialist) and Garance Doré at the Winter 2011 D&G show.

Link Love: The Sartorialist

Now, I don’t necessarily like this outfit, but you’ve got to give this girl credit for rocking a unique and naturally badass style. It might not be a jaw-dropping gorgeous look but at least it turns heads, and isn’t that truly what fashion is all about? So help me out, what do you think?

LINK LOVE: The Sartorialist

Blogger and street style photographer Scott Schuman has enjoyed a lot of publicity and fame this past year, by capturing the irreverent style of pedestrians in major cities.

 He went on to publish his favorite images in a tome (The Sartorialist) and has also shot ad campaigns for Burberry and DKNY.

Now, Schuman has decided that he would like to persue fashion design and also a television show.

While these projects are still in their early planning stages, it’s definitely something to watch for in the coming year.

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?

LINK LOVE: Racked

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!

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!

Who’s your favorite? Someone we missed?

You know we love The Sartorialist, Face Hunter, Jak and Jil, and Lookbook.nu, but what’s happening out there in the world of style blogs?  We want to know your favorite, whether it’s street style, style advice, or DIYs. Where are the best style blogs on the web?

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!

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, 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.

 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…

Images from Style Frizz.

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.

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.

From WWD.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

Being the online nerds that we tend to be at times, Daniel and I thought this was really cool. I know you’re probably thinking this is really lame, but when you see us on The Sartorialist because we are wearing our cool R2D2 bags, we’ll be the first to say we told you so!

Thanks LikeCool

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.

Fashion Indie’s very own (and my partner in PR crime!) Valeria Picerno landed herself on the ever so infamous blog The Sartorialist. I can’t say I’m suprised though, she always manages to outshine herself day after day. I hope you’re enjoying Milan Valeria, and we’ll see you when you get back!

Here are a few more pictures of the pride and joy of Fashion Indie.

Just because Fall is here doesn't mean it is time to pack up your yellow. Look for this color to stick around for a few more months. Love the Blazer!

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.

Say what you want but Tie Dye is back and better than ever. I love that woman's dress, and they are all wearing amazing shoes!

Thanks to The Sartorialist for these amazing shots!

Could the Greek look be coming back so soon? I personally don’t mind, there is something clean and elegant about it to me, but it hasn’t been gone that long. According to Style.com, a lot of classic Greece inspired looks have been spotted all over London during their Fashion Week. What do you think, is Greek just an all around, here to stay look, or a trend that’s coming back too soon?

The Sartorialist caught this guy on Park Ave in the city looking totally spiffy with his multi-colored outfit. Surprisingly, the blend of lavender, silver, navy, red, and brown look mighty sophisticated and well put together. To my surprise, non of this ‘clashes’ and makes for a great color blocking effect.

The Sartorialist caught a few men on the streets of Europe sporting purple shoes resembling moccasins, and I gotta say they look pretty cool. A great way to add some color to a boring outfit, and wear the season’s most popular hue at the same time.
