The Sartorialist's Scott Schuman Is Against Magazines
6. Scott Schuman, The man behind the famed street style blog The Sartorialist, spoke out against magazines and his general disgust for mainstream media. Schuman and his girlfriend, Garance Doré, will both be honored with the CFDA Media award on June 4th. Schuman upholds the internet as his secret to success and believes that advertisers should turn over their efforts to the blogosphere instead of to print ads.
“It shocks me when young kids still say, ‘I want to do a magazine,’ ” [Schuman] says. “Really? Do you want to do a magazine because you want to be an editor—what you think that life is, that romance—or do you want to communicate? Because if you want to communicate, why the fuck would you put all those obstacles in your path and have to print pages, as opposed to going right on the Internet and actually communicating?”[Fashionista]
