Quote of the Day: Scott Schuman on Who Doesn’t Want To Be Photographed for the Sartorialist
Older European women are very difficult. Older women, in general, say no all the time. They’re just very vain. And girls who are pretty, who’ve always been pretty. Not models—like the prom queen. They’re like, “Oh my god my beauty is such a curse! Nooo!” They’re not really into fashion, because they’ve always been pretty. Read more →
