The Sartorialist Creator

Today...I would like you to meet the creator of The Sartorialist!! which is one of my favorite fashion website and help me open to the world of fashion.

Founder/blogger/photographer Scott Schuman began The Sartorialist with the idea of creating a two-way dialogue about the world of fashion and its relationship to daily life.

In addition to the blog, Schuman’s work has been featured in GQ, Vogue Italia, Vogue Paris, andInterview; for GQ, Schuman shot and edited his own page for over three years.

Schuman has appeared in national ad campaigns for The Gap and Verizon, and collaborated with Kiehl’s on an exclusively commissioned product and campaign surrounding Father’s Day.

Nespresso, DKNY Jeans, Gant, OVS, Crate & Barrel, and Absolut have all commissioned ad campaigns. Burberry, meanwhile, tapped Schuman to shoot the groundbreaking social media-cum-advertising “Art of the Trench” project.

In 2009 Penguin published an anthology of his images that has sold well over 100,000 copies to date and been translated into languages from English to Korean. Its limited-run Bespoke Edition sold out in less than three months.

His work resides in the permanent collections of the Victoria & Albert Museum and the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography.

Fashionably Dressed Animals with Miguel Vallinas Prieto

Today I would like to introduce you to a new idea of creating your own models to shoot your own photos.

Interested in the idea of anthropomorphism, Madrid-based photographer Miguel Vallinas retouched animal photographs and made it appear as though they were wearing human clothes. Though an initial reaction may be to dismiss Vallinas’ images as something of a cliché, the richness of the photographs combined with the humor have a charm to them that is alluring and endearing. Segundas Pieles (Second Skins), is an ongoing project that explores notions beyond anthropomorphism. In fact, Vallinas’ photographs seem to accurately investigate concepts such as psychology, stereotyping and personality. The images of the primly dressed swan, or the melancholy donkey portray emotion and narrative beyond simple humor.

Attempting to depict the way he imagined different animals would dress if they had the ability to, Vallinas plays off our preconceived ideas of what our clothing choices signify and what we may, even subconsciously, believe about certain animals, certain people and ourselves.

Seem like Miguel Vallinas is happy with the results: “It shows possible personalities not available to us humans.”

The new york fashion film festival is back!

March 13th 2015 is the date announced for an annual Festival!

Visit for more info! NYFFF-New York Fashion Film Festival

After I have been waiting for this film festival for the one whole year and finally it is Coming BACK!
Fashion film fans rejoice! The festival that brought you Matthew Frost's hilarious Fashion Film and Alexander Wang's chola-licious MAD tv crossover Bon Qui Qui SP 2013 will kick off this Friday night at the School of Visual Arts.

Seeking to investigate the fashion film's impact on the industry and its evolution as a genre, SVA's Bon Duke and Stephen Frailey first launched NYFFF's series of screenings and panel discussions back in 2010. Flash forward five years of films from the likes of i-D faves Glen Luchford, Cass Bird, Gosha Rubichinsky, Hedi Slimane, Harmony Korine—even a submission from Wes Anderson and Roman Coppola—and the festival is still going strong.

This year's festival includes Kathryn Ferguson's Change is a Beautiful Thing, i-D's ABC's of Fashion film, Gordon von Steiner's films for Jil Sander and Vera Wang, and many more.
