Dead End Street Style: The Sortorialist Goes Where The Sartorialist Cannot

By Gabriel Bell

Scott "Sartorialist" Schuman has been very, very, very busy these days—though he, as always, is handling style and success with aplomb. But what of fashion's lesser lights—the trucker-hat wearers, the rag sporters, those who walk the streets dressed to the sevens while shooting for the nines? That's where The Sortorialist picks up the slack.

Claiming that, "refuse fashion is a kind of fashion…" the Sortorialist, "goes where others wouldn't dare!" Indeed, we'd run in terror from the most of the looks that draw "Sortorialist Scotty" to post. Created to look and sound like Schuman's website, this new, refreshing look into street fashion captures that which the style cognoscenti fears and triggers the oft-abused gag reflexes of young Condé Nast staffers. Thank you, Scotty…we think. (The Sortorialist)
