I really can't remember where I found this link to an interview with Scott Schuman.. (it may have been tumblr?) but wow, who knew he was such an arrogant pompous douchebag?!
In the interview he is asked what his thoughts are on Tavi Gavinson and her blog's success, to which he replies; "Well I don’t think her audience is that big. I think her success is a little bit of a conspiracy by established print media that wanted to show that this blog thing is not that important, that it’s done by a bunch of twelve year olds." (.. right.)
He also mentions that her blog is pretty much pointless for older generations considering she's never had a boyfriend or that kind of stuff. Yeah, because writing about fashion as a woman can only be valid as long as you've had a man in your life. Kinda hypocritical there considering his ex-wife funded his entire "streetstyle photographer" career..
In other news, I had my interview at Bunmi Koko and I'm officially an intern! I really can't wait to start.
just bumped into your blog and wanted to say UGHHHHH! thank you for shedding some light on a misogynistic creep. tavi proves that talent and creativity do not require a certain age or having a man. blah. i always thought scott schuman's photos were a bit boring anyway...his subjects are always really conservative/uninspiring/all look the same...
