Bloggers who profile street fashion are all the rage, even garnering front row seats at some of the most prestigious designer's runway shows.
This is a picture of me (in the Farrah Shell under my open cardi) with The Sartorialist blogger Scott Schuman. He was recently in Dallas for a book signing - I have never seen so many sky high platform pumps and boots in my life than in his audience that evening. His pictures are so famous that he's now a published author and much sought after photographer.
My favorite quote from his book, "She is one of my favorite subjects to shoot for the blog . . . she receives comments like, 'Oh she is sooo perfect.' . . . Julie has one leg slightly shorter than the other . . . and walks with a very slight limp. However, she has never let her physical challenges alter her appearance or diminish her presence".
He goes on to say, "In a world of fashion that celebrates a certain kind of beauty, I have so much respect for the people who don't let their non-fashion-world physique stand in the way of expressing the beautiful person that they know themselves to be."
The fashion world is mostly made up of easy to fit women, or at least women without prominent bustlines. In Mr. Schuman's book there is a picture of what appears to be an Italian ample bosom.
Check out this blog and tell me if you see any full bust women featured in street chic? What are your thoughts? Why is there a dearth of large breasts in the street fashion blogs?
