- Are you stylish? Only Scott Schuman knows.
1. Cutely ride a bike. Scott loves a good bike shot, especially a girl in something feminine while casually strolling the city streets. He eats that shit up. Just don't break a sweat—so unfashionable these days.
2. Be pretentious. Scott's aesthetic hasn't changed from the start of his blog in 2005, but since being named one of Time magazine's top style influencers, I guess that's not such a bad thing. Overdress for any occasion, including the occasion of existing in Atlanta, and you'll be sure to catch his eye.
3. Be a French home-wrecker. The only thing Scott loves more than a tailored Italian suit is a home-wrecking French style blogger. You'll get more than just your photo on his site.
4. Pretend you live in the past. Sure, The Sartorialist helped usher in the democratizing of fashion through technology. The fashion industry is notoriously slow to jump on the Internet bandwagon and still treats bloggers with complete disdain, but Scott was the first break-out star that had a solid reputation, produced wonderful images, and wasn't a 14-year-old girl. Now he's shooting for the likes of DKNY and GQ magazine. But despite his forward-thinking ways, he loves when men evoke the Thom Brown, "Mad Men" aesthetic of yore, so put on your best slim-cut suit and penny loafers when going to throw out your trash.
5. Don't smile. Just don't do it unless you want to look like a fool. Except if you're a professional in the fashion industry, in which case, show the world you're approachable with a smile!
If you don't make it into The Sartorialist this weekend, I'm sorry. You obviously are incredibly ugly and unfashionable. You probably shouldn't leave your house from now on. But, look on the bright side. At least your cat still has a chance on The Catorialist.
"The Sartorialist." Hagerdorn Foundation Gallery, 425 Peachtree Hills Ave., #25. hfgallery.org/exhibitions.html. Opening party Friday, Sept. 17 from 7 - 9 PM. Open to the public.
