If you’re talking about street fashion and you’re not talking about Bill Cunningham, you’re probably talking about Scott Schuman, whether you know it or not. His blog The Sartorialist paved the way for street fashion blogs, which have in turn paved the way for a new era of wearable, ever-changing, anti-runway fashion. His visit to Parnassus Books coincides with the publication of his second anthology of photographs,
The Sartorialist: Closer. Schuman is visiting only a handful of cities across the U.S., and according to the folks at Parnassus he asked to visit Nashville specifically. If you’re fond of fashion and are paying attention to everyone else paying attention to us, the possibilities that might have prompted this request can be mind-boggling. We’ve got our eye on you, Schuman. Come early to snag a copy of the book for Schuman to sign — it’s sure to be chock full of shots of stylish urbanites with clever color blocking, expensive-looking jewelry and creative layering.
