i'm going to swim with the tides and also make my own special announcement (already posted here, here, & here) that Vogue Paris' fashion director EMMANUELLE ALT is now stepping up & taking the vacant space that CARINE ROITFELD left as editor in chief, effective February 1. this comes as no surprise. Alt has been with the mag since late 2000, and after ten years of doing such a great job, she's finally getting to have her name at the top of the masthead in the April issue of Vogue Paris. wow, there IS such thing as moving up in the magazine world. i now have hope.

i've always loved her style, as seen in one of this blog's earlier posts, here. but in spirit of this new news, i'll do homage to Emmanuelle, part deux.

the pioneer of fashion blogging steps from behind his camera and lets the world take a look at his world, through his lens. this seven-minute doc follows the Sartorialist on a normal day of "work" -- strolling around Manhatten, snapping away at people who catches his eye (even including a duct-taped boot clad construction worker).

"when i look at something, I don't think, 'Is that fashionable enough? Is that of the moment enough?'...

I'M JUST REACTING."

take a few moments to watch this. it's so inspiring.
