Scott Schuman

Photographer

Scott Schuman is a New York-based photographer and fashion blogger, who presents his work online under the title The Sartorialist. Before starting The Sartorialist, Schuman studied Apparel Merchandising and Costume Construction at Indiana University. Following these studies, Schuman worked for 15 years in the fashion industry in sales and marketing for womenswear designers including Valentino, and distribution companies such as Onward Kashiyama. He eventually went on to open his own showroom specialising in sales and press for young designers.

In 2001, Schuman closed his showroom and began concentrating more on photography, taking photographs of what he describes as 'real people, really cool people' in the street and attempting to shoot style in the manner in which most designers hunt for inspiration. In 2007, The Sartorialist was named as one of Time magazine's Top 100 Design Influences, and Schuman created a supplement for April 2008 Paris Vogue. Schuman takes photos in Paris and Milan as well as New York and is a regular contributor to GQ magazine and previously Style.com.
