Scott Schuman is the creator of the popular fashion blog "The Sartorialist". After leaving his position as director of men's fashion at Bergdorf Goodman to take care of his daughter in September 2005, he began carrying a digital camera around and photographing people he saw on the street whose style he found striking. He then posted these to his blog, sometimes with short comments, always favorable.

"The Sartorialist" quickly became a regular read for fashionistas, both on the street and in the upper echelons of the industry. Schuman has been hired to do similar coverage for Condé Nast's style.com, and has covered shows during New York's Fashion Week for Saks Fifth Avenue.

[edit] Early life

A native of Indiana, Schuman developed his fashion sense early on, as a sales associate at the popular 1980s chain Chess King. Later he attended Indiana University, graduating with a degree in apparel merchandising and a minor in costume construction.
