It wouldn’t be Fashionista Street without a flaneur to savor the scene. Thanks to Scott Schuman for documenting spring in Paris!
Cathy Horyn writes about Schuman’s and Bill Cunningham’s street photography in a recent On the Runway post:
Sunday’s blog:mode event at the Met went off pretty well, I think. .. There’s so much one can say on this topic, and I sort of agree with someone in the previous thread that maybe we were a bit all over the map. Diane Pernet’s experience is completely unique, so is Scott Schuman’s. I wanted to ask him about photographing the fashion show regulars, which Bill Cunningham does as well. It’s inevitable that he and Bill would be drawn to certain editors and fashionistas for their style and that they’re creating what amounts to a visual record of those individuals. I wondered if Scott’s audience expects that now.
