Vintage Photos
I could not resist sending you this piece of "old fashion photography".
This photo was taken by my grandfather in New York, probably in 1968.
He spent most of his life travelling around the world, and sparked my own passion for photography.

This is Great Scott...like your photos, it looks so timeless.

loving the matchyness in this photo.
btw, Scott, where are your amsterdam pictures??
have you survived today with the rain and the ajax-supporters?
It looks like a shot from the film :)
amazing pic.....
Beautiful ;)

Wow. Fashion is like a pendulum. Would have never been able to tell this was an old photo if it weren't for the backstory and maybe that old truck in the background. Excellent.
does it have to be vintage? i mean, the majority of the photos you've gotten and posted are from the 40-60s. can't it just be old?
really nice photo btw. :P
This picture is so nice :) I like it!
So classy! Love it!

Oh wow. You can definitely tell how times have changed, based on this photo!
Great post! nice pic...i love it!
Aaw. The photo really gives you a sense of what it was like back in the day. Thanks for sharing!b
While the man mopping his head with his hankerchief kind of ruins the shot, he is indicative of another era when people carried around hankerchieves in their pockets for those sweaty (or teary) moments.
I love the collars.
I love this new section on "The Sartorialist"! :)
I'm loving the size of the bag and the different color on the lapel. A great photo!
I love the lady, she reflects confidence with such ease..! ♥
So beautiful, they look perfect together.
wow. what an insanely beautiful photograph

Nice shot!!
Now i understand why you take great photos... ^_^
My passion for photography is because my father too ^_^
If you want to see some photos...
Bye!!
Love how this photo makes me feel. I can almost hear their story...such a great idea to have people send these in.
Also, been meaning to say how great it was to have you at Parsons this past week. I felt like I really connected to what you said and your perspective on the fashion industry.
She is so chic.
mad men
Gorgeous and gritty. Love the guy wiping his brow in the background.

everyone knows that these arent Scott'd photos, right? Ok just checking
This photo was taken in the 60's or yesterday afternoon? Simply timeless.
love it! i think this is clothes look amazing cute!!!
Interesting that the man looks almost contemporary while the lady has an ere of the past about her...The hairstyle is especially telling. Lovely photo.

I just love the photo......so vintage.
She looks so pretty, and her coat is marvelous!

oh my! this looks like as if the Sartorialist traveled back in time and started taking street style photos in the 60's! absolutely wonderful!
why is that man wiping his sweat when it looks like it's winter?
Now i'm more curious about that man than the other two who are being photographed.
wowww
Some things never go out of style
I could wear everything she has on today in my own way, and it would still look gr8! That's the thing about style - it's eternal...
it's just the most vintage pic ever!
That's great! Very stylish and so chic :)
love this photo :)

viewing this in the context of the blog it's almost illusory - as if scott was able to turn back the clock and capture the moment himself. love how it relates to the usual posts.
Mr Schuman, my forst impression of this image was that it was you and Garancé. But then it wasn´t (obviously) but you two do look as striking as the two subjects.
Truly looks to be one of your very own.
love this vintage photo!

Eat your heart out, Don Draper.

Love it!!
I think the greatest part of this picture is the man walking past- not only is he wearing a hat (which is rare), but he's using a handkerchief, which is probably as rare as the hat. He's fantastic, from his hat, to his pocket square, all the way down to his cuff length. Great picture.
Just saw an exhibition with photo's by Paul Fusco that he made on the funeraltrain of Robbert Kennedy in 1968. Hundreds of photo's of people standing along the trainway from NY to Washington. Very impressive and a valuable document of that time. I recognized 1968 immediately in the photo of your grandparents.
ps. Very curious of the Amsterdampics
Oh sorry Giulia, not a photo of you grandparents but taken by your grandfather ! silly me
Lovely pic. Both of those outfits look like they could be worn today as modern outfits.

Vintage NYC - how devine!

Winter clothes always look sweet and fantastic. I love all winter collection. Love this vintage one too.

I love this photo....I feel like watching some retro movie.
This shot is so timeless that besides the bus in the background it looks like it could of been taken today.

I'm going with 1969. Madison Ave, around 39th-40th street.
What a great photo.
classic never dies!
Great photo!
Great shot.
Funny enough, knowing that it dates back to 1968, I think the photo hasn't really aged all that much, not only in terms of resolution, but also regarding the couple.
Sure, you can tell it's not 2011 clothing, and yet, they still look very modern to me.
Great... I'll definetly look for old pics in my house.
I love seeing them.
Fantastic photo!!
ciao ciao from Rome

Awesome - you can feel and smell the colour
This photo looks as if it could have been taken today. Look at that coat....swoon.
Dear Mr. Schuman,
I just thought it'd be pretty cool to actually comment on The Sartorialist even though I've actually never took time to 'comment' and give my opinion on it. First things first, I LOVE what you've created, and I enjoy every photo you take and the ones you post from other inspiring people whom are close to you.
Now, I've obsessed so much over 'street fashion' and 'detailing' in an outfit as much as you do. Now, one of my recent favorite posts from you was the "On the Street…Tompkins Square Park, New York" where you made a Givenchy reference. Thank you for The Sartorialist- I look forward each day for a new post!
Sincerely,
Michael Anthony

Thank you for taking your time :)
PS: I recall a time where you had a book signing- I think it was @The Promenade, and my friend took a picture with you. haha I was pretty jealous.
and another favorite post was how you added in how Giorgio Armani looked better in front of a black background. thank you again.
its gorgeous
absolutley amazing
and most likely film too
which makes even more special
Fantastic!
this is one of my favs so far!!
http://anasworldoffashion.blogspot.com/
People wearing that now would still look great, amazing
WOW. This photo transports me to a time and a place, just like magic. I love the quality of the light, their silhouettes against the almost fairytale towers in the background, and the angled lines made by the sidewalk. I love this photo! Its cinematic, and just draws me right in. My favourite, so far, of the vintage photos.
the scott schuman of the 1960s, oh my god! amazing.
