There’s a lot of talk about streetwear nowadays. Most of it centers on definition. What is streetwear, exactly? While some reduce the movement to ironic t-shirts, neon, and Nike, others see things a bit more broadly.

After working in fashion for years, Scott Schuman noticed something: there was a gap between what he was selling in the showroom and what he was seeing real people wear on the street. He decided to merge his passion for photography and fashion and started a blog entitled, The Sartorialist.

It’s simple. Schuman takes pictures of people on the street with a designer’s eye. The byproduct is inspiration for himself and his readers. The photos provide a glimpse into local culture and the fashion sense of a city. If you’re in New York, check out his first solo exhibition at Danziger Projects – 521 W. 26th Street. The opening is Tuesday, January 22nd and it runs until February 23th.
