Bookshop: Paris Vogue & The Sartorialist

Published Tuesdays and Fridays, The Photography Post Market column highlights items for sale in our market. We also invite guest contributors to add items to our shops.

Looking to share something more recent but still scarce, I am offering a special Paris Vogue supplement shot by The Sartorialist aka Scott Schuman.

What was once the realm of Bill Cunningham and ID magazine, The Sartorialist blog set an early precedent on the web for fashion journalism.  With nothing more than attention to natural light and a Canon 50mm L series lens, Schuman has inspired a multitude of aspiring fashion addicts to pick up the camera, start a blog, and put extra effort into their outfit.  All the American and European stylists, who used to play the background at fashion shows and magazines, are now stars with paparazzi / endorsements thanks to Schuman.

In Paris Vogue’s “Top Models – La Nouvelle Vague”, Schuman is commissioned to take the portraits of the ever changing cast of top tier models.  If this strikes your fancy, you will find Anja Rubik, Ali Stephens, Angela Lindvall, Carmen Kass, Catherine McNeill, Coco Rocha, Dotzen Kroes, Du Juan, Freja Beha, Hye Park, Isabeli Fontana, Iselin Steiro, Jessica Stam, Kasia Struss, Lara Stone, Lily Donaldson, Magdalena Frakowiak, Mariacarla Boscono, Maryna Linchuk, Natasha Poly, Raquel Zimmerman, Sasha Pivovarova, Suvi Koponen, and Vlada Roslyakova.

24 in all, Schuman runs them around various street locations looking like they just got out of bed – it’s actually endearing!  The portraits are then set next to examples of their editorial work from past issues of Paris Vogue.
