Video: The Sartorialist – Lunch for 25
January 30th, 2012 / No Comments » / by Staff
Scott Schuman, also known as the The Sartorialist, hosted a “Lunch for 25″ in the midst of Pitti Uomo this year in Florence, Italy. In attendance were some of the worlds iconic style figures in mens fashion including Kanye West, Nick Wooster and many other fashion aficionados. Starting out as just an idea, like most events, “Lunch for 25″ will now be a biannual event. Check out the timeless video below and the explanation of how it all went down.
About a year ago, Scott and I were sitting at a small Trattoria in Florence. The place looked amazing– not only the simple and traditional decor, but also the irreproducible Italian atmosphere and overall elegance of the gentlemen.
“Doesn’t this place look like the best fashion story ever?” I asked Scott.
“Yes!” He said, “Real, cool, diverse– It’s like if all the best dressed guys I know got together for lunch….. We should just do that! Get my favorite guys together in one room, it would be so much fun. These guys have so much in common and yet, for most of them, their paths never cross. Just imagine, someone like Gianluca, with his dreadlocks and modern-minimalist aesthetic sitting next to Lino, with his old-school Italian charm…. Mr. Kurino and Simone Righi discussing their first suit, Kanye and Terron talking about whatever it is those two super funny characters could dream up… I’m just guessing, but I bet these guys would really hit it off. What a great way to forge new friendships.”
“Scott… You should do it!!!” the idea sounded fantastic to me.
And that’s what Scott did. I can tell you, I was so jealous not to be in Florence for The Inaugural Sartorialist Lunch. But, here are a few photographs and a video to let you share the first of what we hope will become a biannual event that grows every year through a continually increasing diversity of style and deepening camaraderie between friends.

When we saw this car our mouths drops because honestly it does not fit the conservative style Ford usually practices. The EVOS is a new step in car design and overall offers a platform that many car manufactures will soon follow. The Ford EVOS features a cloud-focused information system that customizes itself to the owner’s driving habits, gathers intel on local weather and traffic and pulls information from social profiles and home media environments. The drivetrain is based on a state-of-the-art lithium ion plug-in hybrid technology, allowing the driver to switch between the electric motor and a petrol engine whether the need be for economy or performance. With the hot design and next generation technology, what is there not to love?
