Congratulations to 'The Sartorialist'!



As we all know reporting, photographing, sourcing and researching for articles and stories is not an easy task. Particularly when one man produces it all.

It is then a great honour and congratulations to Scott Schuman the creator and mastermind behind the infamous blog 'The Sartorialist'. Schuman's blog has been named in Time Magazine's 'Style & Design' issue as one of the top 100 influences in design internationally. Scott Schmuman's background is fashion based, in sales and marketing and use to own a showroom in New York. As well as maintaining the marvellous blog he freelances for major publications such as GQ and Vogue.

'The Sartorialist' is a blog based in New York, focusing on fashion, in particularly what is around on the streets of various cities around the world. According to Scott, "I started The Sartorialist simply to share photos of people that I saw on the streets of New York that I thought looked great. When I worked in the fashion industry (15 years), I always felt that there was a disconnect between what I was selling in the showroom and what I was seeing real people (really cool people) wearing in real life". It is more than just a blog, it has become an international community, which is linked together, via 'The Sartorialist'.

Well with that in mind, we here at Akiin, would like to wish 'The Sartorialist' a big "well done" and looking forward to many more brilliant posts in the future. Please check out 'The Sartorialist' via our link located in 'Favourite' on the right side of the page.
