THE SARTORIALIST REALITY TV SHOW?

Scott Schuman, The Sartorialist’s blogger and photographer, reveals that he could get his own TV show but he doesn’t want to be the main focus of it.


New York - If the name Scott Schuman sounds familiar to you then you probably have visited his street-style blog The Sartorialist. If not, well, The Sartorialist is a fashion blog that captures street style in different locations but often in New York, Milan, Paris, London and Stockholm. Scott has been very successful with his blog, helping start the “personal-style craze” and acquiring projects through Condé Nast. Now The Sartorialist might become a future reality TV show. According to an interview with The Pedestrian, Scott said that he has been approached by many companies to start a show but has finally found one company that he thinks is right. That company also has “a very well known Director” said Scott but he doesn't name who is the director. Scott added that he doesn’t want to star in his own show, saying that he finally realized that the success of the blog is not about him but it's about the people who he chooses to talk to and to shoot for his blog. Fair enough but that's not all what’s coming up for Mr. Sartorialist. In the same interview he hinted on a possible accessories collection that could lead into a full clothing line. Reserving my opinion to myself right now. But what do you think, Blaynistas? Are you feeling all of this? [Story: The Cut/ Image: Christopher Peterson]

STUART WEITZMAN TO DO HANDBAGS

The shoe designer adds contemporary handbag line to his brand.

World Wide Web - The high-end shoe company Stuart Weitzman signed a deal with Mosaicon SpA to design, produce and distribute a handbag collection starting this summer. The line will "reflect the brand's contemporary yet classic style." The 30-year shoe veteran Weitzman told Women’s Wear Daily: "Recessions have always opened up opportunities for people who like to be a little aggressive in their business. When everything is fantastic, it's hard to find a new opening. People are doing well with all they've got. When things changed last year, opportunities arose and we began to see a real demand for a price-value relationship." Prices for the bags range from $395 to $595. [Story/Image: Racked.com]

JOURDAN DUNN GAVE BIRTH

The beatiful model welcomes her first child.

UK - British model Jourdan Dunn gave birth to a baby boy on Tuesday (Dec. 8). The 19-year-old model and her boyfriend of five years haven’t decided on a name for their baby boy, who weighed just over seven pounds. "Jourdan is really well and super happy," a spokesperson for her agency, Storm, said. "She is due to get home from the hospital with her little boy today." While pregnant with her child, work didn’t stop for the model. In October Dunn, who was seven months pregnant at the time, walked the Spring 2010 Jean Paul Gaultier show (photo left). Now industry rumors suggest that her baby boy could make his modeling debut. Fashion brands have approached Dunn to be photographed with him. Dunn made her runway debut in 2007, walking for Marc Jacobs, Ralph Lauren and Salvatore Ferragamo. She has appeared on the covers of British Vogue, French Vogue, French Elle and i-D. Dunn picked up the Model of the Year Award at the British Fashion Awards last year in November. [Story:UK Vouge/ Image: NYmag]
