Has The Sartorialist Jumped the Shark?

Can't he find any decently dressed people?  Everyone looks like one collective walking flea market...

it would seem that to be spotted by the sartorialist would be reason for one to say, 'alright from now on no more dumpster divin'

I kind of like this shirt and tie combo.

What do you mean jumped the shark?

When you've been selected as one of Time's Top 100 Design Influences, there's nowhere to go but up.

He's the Joe Piscopo of photojournalism.

Re: Has The Sartorialist Jumped the Shark?

It is sad, since his early efforts were very good. Look back to the early archives of his site. Lots of class suits, & ensembles on the men. But then some success and he started taking picks of the freaks only, to satisfy the braindead fashion editors who need something bizarre each month to keep themselves from thinking about how meaningless their own lives are...

He has slipped, effortlessly, back into the fashion world from which he started originally. There is also the New York Effect, of people thinking they are at the cusp of fashion, just because they live on that island.

He only photographs models too, when there are so many normal, fat women who look better than any of the women he has posted. Oh well.

His bubbly comments are at least as inane as his readers.
Also, his comments are internally illogical, and inconsistent.

*****

It is a shame, because he is a good photographer.

(Although I wonder, today, if the technology doesn't make everything look good as long as one gets the sun pointing the right direction...)

^ Perhaps I was a little tough (above).

But so many of his recent stuff is all about how "thrilled" he is to be going to here and there, and how "exciting" it all is. Like a schoolkid on his first trip outside Des Moines.

We get it: you travel for your job.
Now post some f***ing interesting photos.

What's even more inane than those silly comments are his sometimes vaguely illiterate commentary on the pictures.
