So bear with me. I am still looking for a good fashion coffee table book that a black fashionisto like my baby can proudly place on his nightstand -- still nothing. However, I have a couple ideas to fix this, so hear me out.
I may have downplayed my enthusiasm for fashion in my previous post. Actually I am a huge fan of fashion blogs. There are an array of men fashion bloggers. One of my personal favorites and what has come to be a staple in the fashion blogosphere is
The Sartorialist by Scott Schuman. A pioneer in fashion photography on the streets disseminated in blog form has awarded Schuman a column in GQ and a book form of his blog: The Sartorialist. I love this blog just as much as the next dude, and his book is beautiful in the same minimalistic, clean, and glamorous way his blog is beautiful. And even though it is not a big hardcover book, I still recommend it for your coffee table. However but I have to point out the fact that Schuman is a white male.
What about our brothers in the fashion blogging business -- Joshua Kissi and Travis Gumbs' Street Etiquette, are making waves in the industry with their new definition of urban swag, they also have been featured and guest columnist on men's mags like GQ. Where is their book deal? There are other black and latino males like Josh and Travie doing their thing. Rae and Gabe, authors of SFPL (Stuff Fly People Like) could also use a book deal because their book would look pretty dope on my coffee table. What do you think?
