Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
Scott Schuman just wanted to take photographs of people on the street who looked great. His now famous blog ('the bellwether American site that turned photo blogging into an art form' - "New York Times") was an attempt to showcase the wonderful and varied sartorial tastes of real people - not only those of the fashion industry. The book is a beautiful anthology of Scott's favourite shots from around the world. They include photographs of well-known fashion figures as well as those shots of the anonymous passerby whose imagination and taste delight the viewer. From the streets of Rio to Bejing, Stockholm to Milan, these are the people that have inspired Scott and in turn, inspired designers and people of all ages, wages and nationalities with an interest in fashion. Intimately designed and created with Scott, the book is a handsome object in its own right, in full colour on hand-picked, quality paper. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
A Look Inside The Sartorialist
Review
-Mario Testino
Scott doesn't just take pictures, he captures emotion. He is not just a photographer. He's a historian marking the feelings of this generation one photo at a time.
-Kanye West
During all the fashion weeks I am approached by many photographers, Scott is the only one who can ask me to cross the street for better light and I do it! I love his portraits.
-Carine Roitfeld, editor of French Vogue
Everybody loves being photographed by Scott Schuman. If he spots you in the crowd, whether in New York or Paris or Milan, it's a kind of validation. And everybody likes to see who he has photographed for The Sartorialist, because it's proof of his critical eye.
-Cathy Horyn, The New York Times

About the author

Scott Schuman started The Sartorialist simply to share photos of people that he saw on the streets of New York that he thought looked great. Having worked in fashion industry for fifteen years, he felt there was a disconnect between what he was selling in the showroom and what he was seeing real people (really cool people) wearing in real life. The Sartorialist was his attempt to redress the balance. He began shooting people on the street in a way that he knew most designers hunted for inspiration. Since its beginning the blog has become hugely respected and influential in the fashion industry and beyond, and currently receives over 100,000 hits a day. Scott Schuman now has a monthly page in GQ, shoots regularly for many top fashion magazines around the world, covers all the fashion shows for Style.com, has had his photographs appear in the windows of Saks Fifth Avenue, appeared in a GAP ad himself, and has been picked by Time magazine as one of their top 100 design influencers.

Customers appreciate the photography in the book. They say it captures style on the streets impressively, and is a great addition to their photography and fashion books collection. The picture quality is still great, and there are many images not seen online. The photographer's eye for the weird, glam, and fabulous is spot-on.

- Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2011It's the most overrated book ever..... I'M JUST KIDDING! I PERSONALLY ENJOYED & I WAS VERY IMPRESSED WITH THE STYLISH FASHION PHOTOS. I loved it is a straight up look book and don't require a lot of reading. I ran across the The Sartorialist's blog a few years ago and I was very impressed with Scott's fashion photography. However, I will say 97% of the photos are stylish, color coordinate in some way, and were not very over the top. 1.5% of the photos were over the top and other 1.5% were unattractive. The only thing I can say I wish I seen way more minorities and men in casual sportswear style. Usually when I purchase a fashion style media on Amazon, I be very afraid it doesn't meet my expectations. Many people disliked my Seventeen Ultimate Guide to Style: How to Find Your Perfect Look [Paperback]
Ann Shoket (Author), Editors of Seventeen Magazine (Author) review. I'm planning to resale the book to Half Price's bookstore, but anyways The Sartorialist's book is a keeper. I enjoyed seeing the unique styles I had seen in the book. I love the book WASN'T TOO SERIOUS, ANTI ELDERLY, ANTI-MATCHING, TAKE THE LIFE OUT OF THE PICTURES, & PHOTOSHOP THEM TO DEATH. I'm a member of a well-known street fashion site. It's refreshing to see a style that isn't all about snapbacks (sometimes fitted) caps, designer shades (Ray Bans), street wear label graphic tees; bottoms such as slim fit, skinny jeans, or cargo shorts. Fashions such as denim jacket or outerwear all which is labeled by a brand from karmaloop, Levi's 501, or street wear label that color coordinates to over the top color way Nikes (such as Dunks or Blazers) or Jordans. It's not about being a hoarder of Nikes & Jordan sneakers. Fashion style doesn't mean three or four types of fashion styles (sneaker head, females who wear sexy revealing tight clubwear, over the top or over doing it anti match matchy fashionistia who threw too many pieces on, or in your face name brand labeled sportswear). I'm not degrading their styles. In The Sartorialist's book it is refreshing to see REAL STYLE NOT SOMETHING MADE UP BY SUPERIFICAL FASHION MEDIA OR DESIGNER.
This why typical I afraid to purchase a fashion media, this be the case.
*List "pieces" those are not realistic to find in the mall or designer boutique
*Never demonstrate how to wear a mass produced trend style wise realistically. People in the real world don't focus their time what's original or what's not. We have bills to pay. We care how long the quality is going to last and is the garment has a classic appeal whether it classic, trendy, or vintage inspired. Does the garment flatter our body and realistic to cooperate in our lifestyle?
*Overdo it when putting an outfit together
*So anti-match- matchy and don't believe in color coordination in some way like basic matching the colors, monochromatic, or complimentary in some way
*Focus on degrading women body types that are not built like a runway model and try cover their "flaws", but these women are the reason they in business
*So anti-color or degrading older women
I love the The Sartorialist's book doesn't conform to these stereotypes. I'm happy with my purchase. I'm update this review.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2013The man, the man, the man, that's all i can say he is the one that does it all and captures it all in a way that presents beauty in all of its amazing forms while never leaving out the most important elements of his subjects. The use of the natural elements as well as feeding off the subjects energy creates an undeniable correlation between fashion,art,style,and, the human connection. The simple truth is that we are all more alike than different and seeing that in the most beautifully curated and wonderfully captured shots since Bill Cunningham and the Times Style section as well as his other publishing work with big name publications.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2013Maybe it's because the camera distances one, or maybe simply because he's photographed so many people, but Scott is very self-aware. He is comfortable explaining WHY he chooses certain things. Of course the photos are interesting, sometimes beautiful, but to get to why something has value is an amazing (and relatively rare) thing. Personally, I would be interested in a book with more insight (aka more writing, of course still with images). Many people think that fashion is flighty and impermanent. This book however demonstrates that, regardless of your position, fashion can be a direct conduit to the mind and soul of the individual, and a wonderful conversation between the individual and the world.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2012Just received The Sartorialist book and although it was a bit
on the smaller side, (I forgot to check for dimensions) I am super
pleased. The content is amazing- Love all the images.
The quality of the book/pages/print is excellent.
In 2005, The Sartorialist author (and photographer) Scott Schuman, began a photography blog covering the "Fashion Forward" and Fashion Week on the East and West coast of No America and Europe. He is very stylish himself! and has a great eye for spotting a Fashionista on the street! His blog has been a hit ever since. I am personally addicted.
Again, job well done, Scott Schuman!
A must book for any fashionista.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2011Oh man, I love this book sooo much! I've been excited about his book ever since I ordered it. It has all the style I am looking for, and I can always find what I want to be dressed like as soon as I open the book. I know you guys may think the pictures in the book are all from Scott's blog, but I don't think I will have time to look it up online everytime I don't know what I am going to wear for tomorrow. But now since I have already got book, I can just opend it up and choose! It also has comments from Scott about some of the details of how people dress that way, it is really fun and enjoyable reading it! If you are looking for a book like this, you should definitely get this one instead of others, because IT IS THE SARTORIALIST!
- Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2023Omg! Excellent book! Beautiful photos! I highly recommend this book.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2012Thank you so much for the speedy delivery!! This gorgeous book came in perfect condition, was even better than I imagined ( such beautiful photography, interesting people, places and FA-shion) BUT the only thing is that the book itself is small and quite thick ( making it a little awkward to read in bed no?) I am seriously thinking of forking out the extra money and buying the coffee table version. It would truly make the most amazing centre piece of any living room and invite mad conversations about fashion and art.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2015I returned this book because it wasn't as inspiring as I expected. I thought it would be like looking at the blog, but featuring the most interesting people. I lost interest after flipping through it a couple times and was really wanting a book I could return to again and again for inspiration (like Design Sponge, but for fashion; I could flip through that book 100 times). For me, I think there were too many men shown and I was really only interested in women's fashion.

Better than a fashion magazine. I wish Scott had carried on in the same vein and made more of these books or rather, Penguin had chosen to publish more of these — at least one per year!

Como seguidora del fotógrafo de street style The Sartorialist el libro no defrauda. Un libro muy completo, muy extenso (más de lo que esperaba) y repleto de las imágenes de Schuman.
