BOOK WE LOVE: The Sartorialist

The Sartorialist by Scott Schuman (Penguin Books).

Based on Schuman's hit blog, "The Sartorialist," comes an excellent collection of photos showcasing an eclectic array of styles from the streets around the world. More than a book about fashion, this is a celebration of self-expression; an exhibit about the image we portray to the world from the clothes we wear. Some of his models are elegantly classic in pencil skirts, others wear tight, ripped jeans and sport pink hair. Yet in this anthology, each and every one of Schuman's subjects supports the notion that one's personal sartorial taste is truly unique, and it is indeed a good thing we don't all wear what we see on the pages of a mainstream magazine.
