I just read this article in the New York Times about my favorite fashion blogger (sorry Scott, but I'm sure you feel the same) the irresistable Garance Dore. Below are my favorite excerpts from the interview...in case you're not as enamored with The Sartorialist and Garance as I am, the background is that they are the two biggest names in street fashion photography - both with impeccable taste and keen eyes - that fell in love and recently moved in together. What a perfect couple.
“I wanted to be with Scott,” said Ms. Doré on a recent afternoon, at a Pain Quotidien near her home. Despite a grisly sleet storm, she looked elegant, armored against the weather in a Band of Outsiders double-breasted wool jacket, her neck bundled with a heavy gray Sarti scarf. For Fashion Week, the couple plans to hit as many shows as possible. After the hubbub, they hope to work on their new loft, in a prewar building. The walls are still bare; one of the first pieces they plan to hang is a black-and-white photograph by August Sander from Cologne, Germany, in 1926. The photo, a gift from Ms. Doré, depicts a dapper gentleman in a bowler and topcoat. Mr. Schuman cited it as an inspiration for the Sartorialist.
“But,” she added with a smile, “the idea of following the person I love, it’s easy to say that when the person you loves lives in New York
Nevertheless, she said, the apartment (and New York itself) is now shared turf.
“I don’t make sacrifices,” she said of her move. “There is no, ‘I leave everything for my man.’ I just do things when they make me feel good and they feel right."
