The Sartorialist: Lunch for 25 from The Sartorialist on Vimeo.
For those of you who don't know "The Sartorialist" is a fashion blog by Scott Schuman in New York. After leaving a fashion sales position to take care of his daughter in 2005, he began carrying a digital camera around on the streets of New York City, taking pictures of people who had dressed in a way that caught his eye, and then posting them to his blog, sometimes with comments about what he'd found. Schuman has taken photos in different locations besides New York, often Paris, London, Florence and Milan when he has gone there for fashion shows. His subjects range from fashion celebrities like Karl Lagerfeld to unidentified regular people. He has found uniforms and dirty work clothes as well as those trying to display their style. He says his inspiration was a picture of a man on an empty street taken by German photographer August Sander.
For "Lunch for 25" Schuman invited 25 of his photographed best dressed from across the globe for a fantasy dinner party style lunch in a small restaurant in Florence. Guests included Kanye West, Lino Ieluzzi, Simone Righi, Gianluca Cantaro and Nick Wooster
