Taking to the Streets

the sartorialist is a blog that has been around for awhile. indeed, it feels as though it has been here since the very beginning - at least in terms of design/fashion blog world. the sharp and ever-classy new yorker behind the sartorialist has made it his project, one that now spans years, to photograph average folks on the streets of nyc who are just lookin' good.





the sart's posts usually include the street name where these "models" were found, which adds a flair of the documentary to his work. and each picture is as real as the people in them. unlike the glossy shots that fill magazine spreads, these are images of the truly stylish, but casually impromptu. there's no misplaced animal print (or wild animals for that matter). no set design beyond what was around the moment the sartorialist discovered his muse(s) for the day. no more makeup or planning than the captured put into their look that morning in front of the mirror.

all if this is not to say that the sart's pictures aren't professional or great-looking. it just goes to show that fashion is not just for the mighty at vogue. it's something lurking in each of us, waiting to be brought out...for the sart to photograph!
