The Sartorialist's Scott Schuman Doesn't Understand Why Anyone Wants To Do Magazines

Scott Schuman, the man behind "The Sartorialist" who arguably helped street style photography become the all-pervasive phenomenon it is today, will be receiving the CFDA Media Award for journalism on June 4 along with girlfriend and fellow style blogger, Garance Doré. In the past Schuman has been pretty outspoken about his success and his general disgust for mainstream fashion media. He continues the dialogue (rant?) in the latest issue of GQ, which hits newsstands May 22. Schuman spouts off to Alex Pappademas about everything from why blogs are better than magazines (historically one of his favorite topics) to his complicated relationship with Dolce & Gabbana. Even Kanye West pops up in the story to offer some worshipful quotes about Schuman. Click through for the highlights of the very entertaining story, which you can read in full here.

The blog features snapshots of canoodling couples (not them sadly), his and her housewares (like "S" and "G" mugs ahem), and handwritten love notes. Aw.
