The Sartorialist's Scott Schuman is a man of many photos. He's also a man of varied opinions. Schuman, a style blogger himself, doesn't like other bloggers—specifically, writers. 

At the Fairchild Fashion Media Men's Wear Summit, Schuman stated that he thought the idea of a style writer was "quaint," WWDreports. Instead, Schuman believes people should be fashion "communicators"—people who shoot and share runway shows.

Schuman's idea stems from his distaste for "fashion dictation," but hopes that folks will just take in images and make up their own minds. Do you think fashion should be strictly images and no words? Or do you think Schuman should just brush up on his writing skills?
