First Book Signing at Colette!
I am so excited to announce that my first book signing will be at Colette, in Paris this Saturday from 4:30 to 6:30 pm.
As someone who grew up always wanting to be a fashion designer it gives me a great amount of pleasure to have a window display of my work at Colette. Ok, it might not be the type of art that I thought I might create when I was younger. It goes to show that you should never give up the dream, but also don't be so narrow in your vision as not to see where your real talents lie.
I am taking a long weekend/Labor Day, so new posts will be up starting next Monday or Tuesday.
Hope to see you at Colette!

All the best, wish I could be there...you deserve it!
Congratulations, Sart! Have fun in Parigi!!
Sart, are you signing in London by any chance?
See you this Saturday then, hopefully!! If it's not too crowdy, which I'm afraid is a bit too optimistic from me...
I wish I leave in Paris ...!!! I had order the book via Bol cant wait to have it!!!
Dear Mr. Schuman:
I just received this morning my copy of the deluxe edition of your book (No. 423 to be precise) and haven't really been able to put it down.
I splurged on the hardcover version because I want it to last for future generations. Like the Seeberger Brothers book you reference in the enclosed note, my wish is that many years from now when my children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren take it down from the shelf, they too will get excited about style and be inspired to find their own.
Sincerely,
Helene

Oh my. How exciting. So excited that I'm in full-on gibbering fool mode. Just read that you're going to be signing in the menswear dept of Liberty, London, on the 21st September (the day I was due to leave England for a year in Seville). I had already postponed that due to Garance's exhibition and as though that wasn't reason enough, you're in Laaandan too! And on the same day...Could this be any more exciting? Clap clap clap. Wooop wooop. So excited.(did I say that already?)
Ok, I'm off now to get a grip, and work out what to bloody wear.

p.s Enjoy Paree. x
I'll be there!!!!
I'll be there!!!
Have a great time Scott. Enjoy every second of your success.
congratulations! I wish I could be there. I LOVE your book and I LOVE Colette. Enjoy! And, of course cannot wait to see who you with your camera see while you're there...
Gratz Scott, and well deserved :)

Please do a signing in London!!!! Its not far! ;-) Love all your work!
Colette is such a great store, and they have a really nice cafe down stairs. You can get everything there from my fave Mr Thom Browne to cool little toys and fun books. Propper!!!
very well done on your achievements. you're so lucky, but you've definitely worked for it.
I might see you there, have been eyeing your book and it sounds like a good enough excuse just to buy it!
Congratulations! Great feat! You are a constant inspiration!
I will most likely be in London to see you at the ever fabulous Liberty!

How wonderful! Congratulations.
Thank you for the advice: "It goes to show that you should never give up the dream, but also don't be so narrow in your vision as not to see where your real talents lie." Even though I am not entering the fashion world, I am just starting out, and I this is the best advice I've received.
Is that Darth Vader on the left?
Congratulations! And thanks for sharing some of your influences.
How exciting for you - congratulations!
Will there be a book signing in New York in the near future?
Congrats! You deserve it, and thank you for sharing your wisdom about keeping an open mind about where your path leads you.
Paris...How wonderful I'm very happy for you...CONGRATS!!! I'm going to our Borders and B&Noble in OKC Sat. to see if I can score a copy! Can't wait...

hi i from PARIS i will try to meet a colette store
my fashion blog http://www.befashionlike.com
Congrats! Enjoy your book signing! Wish I could be there! *smooches*
So close in Marseille but yet so far!
Lots of love from a Sartorial Au Pair in France!
I received my copy of your book in the mail yesterday! I am so happy for you! The book is beautiful and it feels creative. I was flipping through the pages and felt like it was a book of recipes.
Thank you for all you do to share the creativity and beauty everyone possesses.
You absolutely deserve the recognition and Colette couldn't be a better place to start. Excited to see in the comments you'll be in London too. I'll definitely be bringing my copy to Liberty for you to sign. Now if only I can get my hands on one of Garance's T shirts from around the corner as well, I'll be set.
I love what you mention in the book, such as not looking at an outfit as thumbs up or down, but at the details you can take inspiration from.
Enjoy your time off, if anyone deserves a few days off it's you (though I bet you take some fab pictures over the weekend anyway)
Congratulations to you! Wish I could be in Paris and have you sign my copy.
¡Felicidades, guapo!
congrats... xx manja from Singapore
Congratulations. I just purchased your book today and had to go to several stores as it was sold out. It is simply wonderful!

Hi, I just found your blog - so great to capture real life! Its so neat to see real people around the world - gives a new perspective to your own life and what you're doing in your little corner of the world. I will be returning to see what's new!

Colette : The best in Paris
Dover Street Market: London ! where else?

Dear Mr Scott,
I've received THE book today, from France (Amazon) to Spain! I got so excited that I almost forgot that today was my "back-to-work-from-holiday" day :).
Thank you for your work, for your art. I promise I will enjoy the book a lot, and I wish you do the same at Colette!
Kind regards and all the best from Galicia (in Spain). Love,
Patricia
Congratulations! You are an inspiration to a fellow designer, Best Wishes

félicitations, what better place to kick off!?!
Congratulations! How I wish I could be there...
Enjoy the moment.
It is a wonderful book -- I have it on my desk most days. Any chance you'll swing through Detroit or Chicago?
I would LOVE to go, but unfortunately I live in Los Angeles... I hope that you will come here!
Just checked you out in the recent British Vogue. Congratulations on everything. You're untouchable, Scott.
http://www.bonbonliving.com
Many congrats to you!! Your blog rocks (read it daily) and I can only imagine your book does too :)
Congratualtions! Enjoy your time in Paris!
I'm excited to purchase your book. I love photos and books and can't resist buying another book by someone i admire that has both inside. I wanted to reccommend the song Emipre State of Mind sung by Jay-Z and Alicia Keys. I like listening to music while i peruse your webiste. This song accompanies your images well. Hope you like it and i'd love to hear your opinion.

Congratulations! Colette... that is really cool. :)
I wish I'd be there! Too bad I'm in New York...
Just bought your book, its beautiful and an inspiration.
Thanks. AEM
Hello! I have been following your blog for awhile now, but this is the first time I have left a comment. I love your work. I also love your insight on fashion, your photo subjects, and most recently, your book. I am inspired by what you said, "you should never give up the dream..."
Thank you for the beauty you find in the world, and the beauty you add to it!
Sincerely,
Emma from Chicago
Congratulations, you deserve it!
And I never wanted so bad to be in Paris :(
All the best
Isabel
go you for making it big.

Congrats!! Wish I could be there...
Scott, congratulation! I've followed you since your earliest postings on the Style Forum. I think I've seen, and enjoyed, everything you've posted since that time

Congratulations! You really do deserve it, you're a fantastic artist. I can't wait to get my hands on your book. I know I'll be as much impressed and obsessed with, and inspired by, it as I am from your blog.
Please keep doing what you do. Your work puts a smile on my face everytime.
That's good advice. I wonder if you read your blog's comments. Your photographs evoke a particular satisfaction in me, and I'm probably not alone here, in that you're capturing a tone, a context, a world even, that many of us witness on city streets every day, but don't quite have the courage (even with all of our little devices) to confront and document.
congrats! you deserve the best of all. we are expecting you to come to Istanbul also, expecting for yeaaaaars:)may be to sign this precious book you pop up here too.
I will be there !! I'm so happy
Congrats Scott,
Any book signing planned in Milan yet?
I hope so.
Congratulations! you deserve this success!
I have already your book in my house, in Spain, and I´m having a good time looking at it!
xx
I'm from Italy, congratulations! You're an artist.
Elena
Congrats'!
I'm so happy for you!
but I'm so disapointed, I won't be in Paris before 2 weeks... rahhhh
Enjoy this moment, you deserve it!
When will you be in NY? Do you have a calendar that shows the dates you will be doing signings?
Dear Mr S!
Congratulation! Oh, if i could be there!
But I am sure, Tracy will take pics about the ENDLESS crowd and about the proud author, for us.
I haven´t ordered the book,yet, I start to panic!!!!
Greatings from Austria!
Congratulations!!! Wish I could get mine signed. It arrived from the UK yesterday yay!!!
COMPLIMENTS!!!
A good reason to visit Paris.
Félicitations, ce sera superbe et bien mérité! How will YOU be dressed? I live 3.5 h away by TGV (in Geneva), otherwise I would be there too!aliki
Félicitations !!!
I'm not in Paris at the moment but I've already planned to buy your book on Colette's web site. Love your pictures.
Have fun in Paris !
Iris
Ahhh I'll just miss you! I'm arriving in Paris on Monday night ...no signed copy for me *sniff*
Have a great signing day!
hey
today i read about you and your book in a dutch newspaper called 'de Volkskrant', and they were really enthusiastic.
have fun signing at colette

What about sining in Amsterdam??
It will be cool to meet you Scott
Nice Blog..hey check out mines www.fetish-badboy.blogspot.com..and if you like it follow me...thanks
hi Scott
I bought your softcover version yesterday... its lovely! Thank you for putting a book together. The size is perfect, as you said. No doubt it will sit on top of my other design and fashion books and be read very, very often. So inspiring, thank you!
"It goes to show that you should never give up the dream, but also don't be so narrow in your vision as not to see where your real talents lie." --good wisdom, Scott.
great news wish i could make it! enjoi the weekend
Big fan of yours photos, i hope to see you later
wish I could go there!
Congratulations. You're fairly much illustrating what I have believed in all my life.
There are those whom invest much time and effort following the academic training and theory supposed to underpin their chosen field and never achieve much due perhaps to a lack of real passion in their discipline or simple exhaustion following academia .
Then there are those who have a passion for something and regardless of academic training and qualifications launch themselves into their subject and succeed. This, much to the dismay and envy of those that have spent decades training and studying outdated and outmoded processes taught by those that never succeeded in the first place. It's a veritable Descent into the Maelstrom.
It's the same around the world. We should all follow Nike's advice before it's too late and remorse sets in. You're a wake up call to us all and I am man enough to admit it. So I still win.
Well done, Scott.
-Pietro
hahahaha, you're going to have to alter your travel plans, Scott. Carlos 5:49PM won't be in London after the 23rd of October.
LOL
-Pietro
would love to own the book, wonder when it will reach borders malaysia..
anyway, just fell head over heels in love with this one picture by scott on his "The Sartorialist's Greatest Hits: Spring 2010" list and i have trying (so hard, u have no idea how hard it is, really) to trace back when the picture was posted here on this blog.
http://men.style.com/theupgrader/style/features/sartorialist_greatest_hits/slideshow/062909SART?loop=0&slideshowId=slideshow59240&iphoto=9&nphoto=26&play=false&cnt=1
it reminds me of alexis mabille's lace shirt that i adore so feaking much! :-)
i would really love to read the comments and it would be really nice to see the picture in larger size.
if anyone has any idea when the picture was posted, could please kindly post the link here? ..*thanks in advance
I totally admire your work and inner expression of beauty and fashion. Since I won't be able to be there- I'm far away, in Romania- I hope that you will consider selling the book online.
all my best! it's a pity I am not in Paris this weekend, looking forward to your book. You should know that we are quite a few fans of yours here in Bangkok who follows your daily adventures out there in the streets.
Cheers from www.camilladavidsson.com/lifestyle
Hi, I am Tommy, your blog reader from Hong Kong! Just say Congraulation to you! Will the book be sold in Hong Kong? It is the must-buy item!
congrats!
what a pity i am thousands of miles away! or i'd be there.
Congrats!! I love your photos.
I hope your book comes to Singapore too. Would love to have one. =) and perhaps you can come to Singapore for book signing too!
congratulations!
I would give anything to be there - all the way from South Africa, have a fabulous day. cherish it. bisous bisous
I appreciate more than you know your posting today. My husband and I moved to NYC 14 months ago, and I am re-wetting my working feet in the fashion industry. As I polish up my portfolio and resume, take some classes and gain work experience, I've had some amazing highs and discouraging lows. The voice that tells me I'm too old (36!) or too busy (3 kids!) to reinvent myself I am trying very hard to ignore. So 'you should never give up the dream, but also don't be so narrow in your vision as not to see where your real talents lie.' meant a lot. THANK YOU.
MERVEILLEUX!!
Very happy for you.
I wish all the best!!
te lo mereces!
Congratulations!! Wish I could be there for your book signing but I live all the way in Boston, Massachusetts! :(
My boyfriend got me a copy of your new book and I love flipping through it every night before bed. Thank you for your photos and your inspiration!
Congratulations. Your site has given me much pleasure and revived my love of beautiful clothing.
Dear Scott,
I follow your blog on a daily basis since more than one year. Though, I never left a comment, nor I read the others because I love to let your shots speak for themselves and inspire me without any influence.
This time I’ll make an exception because I’d like to thank you.
I got your book delivered today and can’t stop flipping over it. It’s so inspiring!
I already knew most of the photos but I’ve looked at each shot at least twice and each time I discover new details I didn’t notice the previous time.
Checking your blog is always a pleasure, but having your photos all together in a pocket size is even better! The greatest gift you could give us. I only wish I was in Paris this weekend to get my copy signed.
Congratulations for this challenge and, again, thank you very much.
Orsola
Sadly, we will not be in Paris this weekend! Congratulations on your achievement!

"don't be so narrow in your vision as not to see where your real talents lie." Truer words have never been written. I live my life by this lately, after years of trying to be something that the universe fought me on, i have realised that my talent is in doing what i have been doing for the past 12 months, and you are a major influence on this. And so i congratulate you on your success and your dream come true. it is wonderful and truly deserved. Hx
Congratulations ! I hope to see you soon signing your book in Buenos Aires!

I just come back from Colette and it was really nice to meet you and Garance.
Congratulations on the book and thank you for so much inspiration!
One of my greatest buys ever! I preordered it throgh amazon and it came yesterday. I must say that even though I have followed your blog for over a year and have looked back through the achives more than once. The way these styles/people just keep seeming so fresh and I love the way the look side by side - the order they come in. Thank you!
i love this blog!

Congratulations!
will there be a NY book signing?
I'm just living in Paris and didn't have an internet connection yet, so I didn't check your blog for a couple of days, and thus missed it by a couple of hours! Darn!
I will check out the display tomorrow though!
I was there!!! It was so full!
I did your pictures and published at WireImage and Getty.. and I also did one Polaroid for my blog! :)

Congratualtions!
Congratulations Scott!
Bravo!
I was extremely happy to meet you! i really loved Garance 's and your simplicity, elegance, beauty...
We love your book and wish you all the best.
(as soon as i bought the book, i flipped through it looking for garance! she is so beautiful).
I can't wait to get my hands on your book, and you are so right at never giving up a dream...it does happen.
Congratulations on your new book!
Hey Scott thanks for this fabulous afternoon , some pics here
http://www.flickr.com/photos/karl_hab
Thanks
And where may we buy the book????? Can't wait to get my hands on it.
CONRATS!
Your book is so completely inspiring. I look at it practically everyday and keep finding things I haven't noticed before. I hope you will be doing a book signing in Los Angeles. I will camp out for it!
Bon chance en Paris!
dear scott,
even though i am unemployed and have very little money, i had to go out and buy your book today. i spent all afternoon looking carefully through it. after following your blog for two years, it was like looking at your photos for the first time. Even pictures i've seen on the blog before look so different in print, and even the details come alive in different ways. maybe more than fashion, i'm interested in people and i make up the lives of each person in my head. i love it and it was well worth my hard earned, meager savings. thank you.
So jealous, wish I could be there!
Congratulations!!!
I follow your blog religiously and I bet the book is two times better.
Wish I could go to that book singing...but from my country to Paris it's a LOOOONG TRIP.
Anyways...congrats on the book. "Anyone who's anyone has a book"!
How was the signing?
I didn't make it...ahhhh
' you should never give up the dream, but also don't be so narrow in your vision as not to see where your real talents lie.'
That line is so perfect. Congratulations!!
congratulations!
a dreamer that makes dreams come true.
Scott, did I miss it or have you already posted a photo of your book jacket?
I love your new book! I'm planning on marking all the looks I love to use for my own everyday inspiration!
It's amazing! Congrats.
good luck :D
