the sartorialist is way overrated

yeah along the same lines as abbott - i like sartorialist but havent looked at it in a really really long time, only when people post a pic somewhere - most of it's classy but also can be trying too hard. and if he does post something colourful he's always omg colours done right! kudos! and i'm like whatever. i don't know if it's still this way. i like colours! and weirdness!

ok looking at it i like that some things he posts are weird but not nec in the good-weird way

Only my pants are all brown and grey! And my jackets. I have many ridic shirts. Paisleys bro.

I cld not get on Sartorialist, unless he happened to find my dog handsome.

the times i have checked the sartorialist I have noticed that he does post pics of people wearing lowend gap/h&m things. but they do look great on the people. I just like him because he doesn't post pic upon pic of japanese fruits shit.

hey guys thank you all for posting but youll notice that elmo and i worked this out upthread this morning so dont worry about it

as far as I remember, a few years ago, he was the first one to do a blog of streetstyle photos. yes? nobody in fashion knew who he was. these days .. he finds people who are stunning but there are so many fashion people in it now, and I just.. I don't think it's so hard to look really good if you are wearing a lanvin dress and $2000 shoes.

I love menswear and maybe have learned a few things from what he's written about it. another thing I appreciate is that since he was at the start of the fashion-blog thing, maybe he had an influence in the tone.. all the fashion blogs I read that have actual writing to go with the photos, they're actually pretty friendly and supportive of each other, total opposite of the critical & bitchy stuff one might expect.

so I'm not gonna say the sartorialist isn't worth looking at, but ultimately i think his prominence simply comes from his being the first dude to execute the street-fashion blog format successfully, but as he's garnered more and more acclaim its kinda obvious that the sense of spontaneity and discovery have dulled once it turned into a fashion industry lookbook.

that's a run on sentence for you. phew.

also his pictures aren't just snaps, they're usually really great what with the light and depth of field - i appreciate that

It also helped that he was the director of men's fashion at bergdorfs...

never seen the sartorialist until this thread...

pretty hot stuff

THAT was a snap judgment

catorialist has nothing on meowmaduke mittenstein III and paws, poise, etc.

i left fat out, and transmigratory fur, with that etc.

he only hates me because i beat him.

dudes in fort greene right now i think

waiting 4 joe and surmo 2 show up

sartorialist commenters are the most disgusting savages imo

otm

love it when he takes a picture of a dude wearing flannel or like a t-shirt and half an hour later there are like 70 posts from ppl complaining

it's all "fantastic use of color but if the look would be better if the jacket was knee-length and the shoes were patent leather instead of suede" like being pictured on a style blog means you would have unlimited access to millions of imaginary clothes I just thought up

why criticize a person for not having a pink seersucker necktie or some nonsense, basically

why not imo

can't believe this guy is not a gay.

His taste is pretty homogenous – I quit looking at it after a few months. How many grey coats or subtle color combinations do I really need to see? Not THAT many.

^^this.

i'm well aware that my hatred for the srtlst says more about me than it does about him but i still kinda think he's a total douche.

fwiw I own a pink seersucker necktie
