Dust Off the Fedoras and Slick on the Rouge: Scott Shuman’s in Town!

The Sartorialist Is In Philadelphia!

BY MARISSA OSWALD Scott Shuman, author and photographer of The Sartorialist, a street fashion photography blog voted one of Time Magazine’s top 100 Design Influences, announced that he would be traveling to Philadelphia and Boston during the month of April.

A far cry from the cachet and couture of Shuman’s usual rotation (Paris, Milan, New York, etc…) Shuman asked his readers where he could find equally stylistic peeps in the less prominently fashionable cities.  Guess he doesn’t want his visit to be wasted like last time.

In 2006, Shuman visited Philly, resulting in what he could only describe as a “bust.”  He left the city without one photograph.  Awarded a second chance, Philadelphia has a lot to prove.
And step one in finally getting some stylish Philadelphians on the site.  So please, unless you’re actually a nurse: take off those darn scrubs.

Is it possible to be inspired by us?  Last time, Shuman left without anything.  Let’s hope he leaves with at least one usable shot this time.
