Reviews

"...a refreshing and striking look at contemporary mens style" GQ.COM

"If you havent already noticed, Im fascinated by street style. I love Scott Schuman because he focuses less on the typical (and sometimes contrived) fashion week version and instead likes to discover people on the street with true style. Ive been a fan of all his books and cant wait to see what he has to offer with regard to men specifically!" COVETEUR.COM
