    I love the Sartorialist, but I've found that lately there's been a kind of same-ness about his photos and his subjects. I find that these days I prefer style blogs where people photograph and write about their own outfits, whether thrift store finds or high fashion.

    One of my favourites is [www.academichic.com.]

    Oh, and is anyone here a member of the wardrobe_remix group on Flickr? ([www.flickr.com]) It's a "DIY street fashion community" and I love it because you get a wide range of different styles and aesthetics there, from people who are most assuredly dressing themselves. It's fun and inspiring, and I don't want to rave about it too much, but I really encourage folk to check it out and maybe even join.

    I hadn't been over in a while, and whilst perusing his Florence pix, realized that men wearing beautiful leather oxfords w/out socks really makes me uncomfortable. They all looked.. hot, and not sexy-hot, but blistery-hot.

    Yeah, but he has just as much of an aesthetic as certain celebrity stylists do, though. If you go through his pictures, you'll notice that the "individuality" could also easily be placed in very specific categories, as far as the clothing goes.

    What I like about the site is that he photographs people of all ages, which is something you don't see in most magazines.

    @hortense: I think he is dangerously close to becoming a cliche. Loved the Step-to-Step Guide to Getting Shot by the Sartorialist, that Refinery.com did recently. Scarf? Check! Bike? Check! Ciggie? Check! Old, Rich and European? Check!

    I love the Sartorialist but he generally photographs the fashion tribe, not totally random people ... take pictures in Paris during fashion week next to the shows, and what do you get?

    @greengrey: Absolutely, but he isn't roaming around searching for them. He goes where he knows they will be hanging out. He also has regular "models" and I've heard he makes dates to photograph certain people on certain streets in certain lights. And they are all beautiful people, although I love that he photographs all ethnicities and ages. I want to be a chic grandma in one of his photos.

    I loveeeee the sartorialist. The pictures are so much more interesting then the red carpet photos. It's nice to see stylish people who put outfits together THEMSELVES and didn't rely on a team to do it for them. I think looking at it made me a bit more "brave" with my fashion choices.
    And the backgrounds of different cities is cool.

    I never see anyone dressed like the people he photographs. I clearly do not run in a suave, sophisticated, and stylish circle of people.

    I love love love The Sartorialist. But we can't say that the people featured aren't skewing towards cookie-cutter in their own right.

    @Sputnik_Sweetheart: It's certainly better than glancing through Vogue, but you do expect themes: old man in well-tailored suit, young model with lots of layers, wayfarers (but now the glasses are more round-ish), editrix dressed in a tunic dress, and occasionally someone in overalls or a person of color.

    But the compositions are lovely and the backgrounds are always nice to see.

    Running into him at an East Village newsstand was the highlight of my week two weeks ago. Sadly, no camera in hand at the time.

    I will add to the jealous chorus, particularly given your proximity to ALT. I am not a huge memoir fan, but his is a thing of beauty. He also introduced me to the term "bespoke," which I use in a somewhat profligate manner (I know it applies to clothes, but who can resist a bespoke pizza?). You do your thing, ALT, your crazy, crazy -- but also generous and kind and thoroughly charming -- thing.

    I love the description of Austin Scarlett. I always want to ask him what foundation he's wearing when I see him out because it is flawless.
