I haven’t read/looked at the Sartorialist in ages, yet reading it today reminded me why it’s one of the best fashion blogs on the web. All the pictures are shot using a high quality camera, probably a Canon Mk 1D or an instrument of similar caliber, and he’s just excellent at framing people. As for the [...]
