the sartorialist is coming to dc next week

i am still not sure what to make of scott schuman, aka the sartorialist. his fame has grown astonishingly and he has a loyal pack of followers and supporters. he is probably as well known for his website in paris as he is in new york where he first began his blog. i liked his site from the first time i stumbled across it some 2 plus years ago; it would give insights into an individual's tailoring habits and choices. it was very much about style rather than fashion. these days it still covers both -- but less of the former and for me, too much of the latter. regardless, the majority of his photographs are beautiful, for their compositions, content and his take on what's worthy of being in his blog - he has a great eye.

after exhibiting his photos at the danziger galleries in dc over a year ago, mr. schuman is back in dc next week to sign copies of his new book... The Sartorialist, a collection of Schuman's photographs, published by Penguin Books.

the signing is at 9-10pm @ Masa 14, a new restaurant in dc owned by 2 renowned local chefs - Kazuhiro and Sandoval, and on the 19th (date of the book signing) the restaurant will be just 1 week old. that is reason enough for me to pop down there and see what's what.
