Milan is a city unlike any other, and flipping through Scott Schuman’s The Sartorialist. Milano, I feel as though I’m walking its streets alongside him. His new photography book, published by Taschen, is a love letter to the city; its architecture, its rhythm, its elegance, and to the people who inhabit it with effortless style.
As The Satorialist, Schuman was one of the first to popularize what is now familiar as street-style fashion photography. Long before Instagram or influencer culture emerged, he demonstrated how fashion could exist beyond the studio, off the runway, and on the streets, blending editorial composition with candid observation. Looking at these images now, it’s clear why his approach resonated so widely: it earned him over a million followers on Instagram, and it still feels fresh, immediate, and alive.
