Coffee tables everywhere are in for a treat: Street style hotshot Scott Schuman is coming at you with his second book, The Sartorialist: Closer. The photo-compilation departs from the industry people and big names in his last book, and instead focuses more on street fashion, his blogging bread and butter. Schuman also dropped this nugget of wisdom, "For street style to be successful, photographers need to shoot in a more unique way to them." We're looking forward to seeing what that means when the book comes out August 29. [Styleist]
