The Sartorialist is a fine observer of our times, managing to capture with his unique vision the street style from around the globe, its beauty in all its diversity. He doesn’t just take a picture, he tells a story through every one of his photos. And I love his stories. Fashion loves them too, for in the street style lies its greatest source of inspiration.
I could hardly wait for Scott Schuman’s second book, The Sartorialist: Closer, to be released. Not only because I was anxious to have it on my coffee table right next to his first one, but because I knew it was going to be the perfect gift to offer to one of my dear readers on the occasion of my blog anniversary. I was happy to discover many of my favourite photos in the new book, plus exclusive ones which have never been published before. I know there’s always his blog to enjoy, but there’s something so special about being able to browse through The Sartorialist’s selective work on paper. You feel you are a little closer to his photography and his stories. And today I have a special treat for you.
You have the chance to win your own copy of the book. To enter all you have to do is be a Classiq follower on Facebook or Twitter and leave a comment mentioning what you love the most about Scott Schuman’s photography.

Aaaaaahhhhh!!!!! Such a fantastic giveaway! Please count me in. The book is still on my wish list but I can’t wait to get it. The first one was wonderful because he really can capture the mood, not just clothes… And I loved a photo of his little girl very much, it was definitely one of my favourite. xxx
That is a wonderful, Ada. I’m not going to enter the giveaway as I already have the book on my coffee table but I’ll share this.
Oooh, terrific giveaway, I believe we’re already Twitter buds, so that leaves me with extra tweet factor!
Scott’s always held himself strong in the whole street style photography game, I love his keen fashion eye!
re: comment, I only wish I’d been to all those shows!!! π

Ada, such great news! I am also thinking these days that it is time for a giveaway on my blog. I really want to enter this giveaway because I do not have the books of Scott. And I am sure that this new book has my favorite photography that was also displayed in Madrid, the girl with freckles wearing a grey beret and t-shirt.
I am your follower on Facebook-and been on here for a while:) I like Sartorialist for how he manages to capture the individuality of his subjects and perfectly captures the character of the place. I have his firs book and keep going back for inspiration. Would love to check the new one!

What I love the most about Scott Schuman’s photography is the way he renders fashion accesible by giving an insight into the street style of today’s women living in Paris, London, Milan …
What a wonderful giveaway! What I love about Scott’s photography is that he’s made street style accessible to us, we see it differently, the way it affects fashion; he encourages self-expression.

HI Ada,
So generous of you to share a copy of Scott’s book! Of course I follow you on Twitter already and now on FB, too, which I am happy to do with or without a giveaway as you have one of the most stylish and classy blogs around. As for what I like about Scott’s photography, I enjoy the celebration of individual style and ideas β that fashion does not have to be dictated by a handful of design houses or magazines.
Have a lovely new week!

Amazing giveaway! What I love the most about his photography is the diversity of the street style he captures. There’s beauty everywhere. Please count me in!

It would be wonderful to win a copy of the book! I love Scott Schuman’s eye for details, he manages to capture that one element in everyone he shots that sets that person apart. The personal style.
What a precious book! I love his photos for the amount of life bursting from them, they are far more interesting than most recent staged, censored, politically-correct fashion magazine photoshoots.
