I can't think of anyone more influential than Scott Schuman (The Sartorialist) when it comes to fusing fashion and photography. It isn't surprising that a book based on Schuman's work is in the works; his photos speak for themselves in the eyes of the fashion elite. What's more surprising is that it has taken this long for one to be released. Schuman comments on the delay:
"I have received many offers in the past about doing a book, but I held back until I felt the right offer was at hand. This was the right offer.
The main reason I feel so excited about this project is that Penguin will publish the book in paperback, and a special limited-edition "bespoke" version simultaneously. This was very important to me because as a photographer I wanted a beautiful book to showcase my images - but I didn't want to do just another expensive coffee table book that would be too expensive for many of my readers. I think this creative method will be the best of both worlds."
