Our FabSugar Community Has Major Love For The Sartorialist

FabSugar — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 17:41:22 -0700

It's all about The Sartorialist this week on Fab. First we featured some of his amazing photos in our 10 Fashion Observations, Straight From Paris slideshow, then we chic-chatted with Scott at his book signing. Now let's enjoy The Sartorialist. One Word. Love group in our FabSugar Community! Scott's fans surely recognize Anna Dello Russo, the creative director for Vogue Nippon. She's highly eclectic, loves drama, but makes it all look so nonchalant. To discover what else people love about the site, become a member of the famous street style group.

FabSugar Exclusive! The Sartorialist Signs and Chats With Fab

FabSugar — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 12:00:22 -0700

I've never seen such a thing in San Francisco: When we left the book signing of The Sartorialist by Scott Schuman at the Paul Smith store last night, the line to get in was down the block and around the corner. It's safe to say the street-style photog is a star. Book in hand, we approached the dapper Scott, who's completely handsome and respectable in person. He signed away, we chic chatted.
So why did he pick Julie, the New Yorker, for the cover? He explained how every time he posts Julie's picture on The Sartorialist, people comment about how perfect she is, so chic, so modern. But what they don't know is that she's less perfect than most because one leg is slightly shorter than the other. She's not traditionally perfect, but she knows how to work her imperfections and has a great pose. Selecting her for the cover had a deeper meaning than just someone who looked great.

To hear what else Scott told us, read more

Anyone who reads Scott's site knows that he's going out with French street-style photographer, Garance Doré. We mentioned to him how cute she is, and he corrected us, "she's totally hot!" He then proceeded to turn to page 314 of the book to show us the moment Garance fell in love with him two years ago. In the photo, she has a beaming, genuine smile. 'Tis love.

Favorite color? Blue!

Favorite designers? Dries Van Noten, Lanvin, Marni, and Marc Jacobs.

Favorite cocktail? Margarita.

East Coast or West Coast? East - gasp from the audience - what did you think I was going to say? But you guys are the most stylish crowd after Milan.

Be sure to check out the The Sartorialist. One Word. Love group in the FabSugar community!

The Sartorialist Pens a Book

FabSugar — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 05:50:22 -0700

I can seriously blow hours perusing The Sartorialist. So many people, so many fresh outfits. Snapping unique ensembles and fabulous people has become Scott Schuman's forte, so naturally, the next step is penning his own book. The Sartorialist ($17) is a compilation of his favorite shots from around the world spanning oceans and continents. "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," said Carine Roitfeld. "I love his portraits." I second that motion.

Fab Ad: DKNY Jeans Spring '09

FabSugar — Sat, 07 Feb 2009 16:22:22 -0800

Those of you who are fans of street style blogs will probably dig the DKNY Jeans Spring '09 ads, shot by The Sartorialist, Scott Schuman. This is the photographer's first major campaign, but he's no stranger to snapping well-dressed people on the streets. Chanel Iman, Sean Lennon, and Daisy Lowe are all his model subjects. And just to make it extra authentic, the cross streets where the photos were taken in NYC are listed. This style of ad is a departure for DKNY Jeans, but completely relevant to today. What do you think? Are these ads authentic-looking or not so much?

Gap has long been known for choosing an eclectic mix of well-known A-listers and up-and-comers to star in their advertising campaigns. I already informed you about Ginnifer Goodwin's involvement in the upcoming Fall campaign, but the list goes on and on.

On Our Radar: H&M Delves Into Fashion TV

FabSugar — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 07:00:22 -0800

You're probably already overwhelmed by your TiVo list, but what's one more show? When you have a few minutes, be sure to catch H&M's new Fashion TV. Currently there are two videos (it's a twice-monthly program). The first one is about the Comme des Garçons collaboration and it features model Missy Rayder (left) and The Sartorialist Scott Schuman. The second is a fun and useful knitwear style guide. You can also sign up to receive notification when new videos go live. Fab!

Fab Ad: Gap Fall '08

FabSugar — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 14:00:22 -0700

I will always love the Gap. I mean, cotton basics? Cozy knits? Preppy staples? Oh, and I love their lip balm. Change is already underway at the company, with Patrick Robinson as head designer under the gun. This Fall campaign, shot by Mikael Jansson, is quintessential Gap - black and white, laid-back poses, American inspired. But the cast and the styling are fresh.
The idea behind the campaign is to “Create Your Own GAP” by mixing and matching classic pieces to create an outfit all your own. The celebrities and models are styled to suit their personal tastes, and the list is vast: Liv Tyler, Georgina Chapman of Marchesa, Fabcon Clemence Poesy (pictured here), Ginnifer Goodwin, Catalina Sandino Moreno, Scott Schuman (of The Sartorialist), Cecilia Dean (cofounder and editor, Visionaire), models Chanel Iman and Lily Donaldson, and more. This exhibits a cooler, more undone Gap with a focus on fashionable, functional garb. Are you impressed?
