From Carrie Bradshaw to Grace Jones, and from Nicki Minaj to Blair Waldorf, New York is the fashion 'it girl' capital of the world. Home of both laid-back street style and the luxury of the MET Gala, New York has earned its reputation as one of the most stylish capitals in the world. From the eclectic looks of Brooklyn to chic Manhattan elegance, it is a city that hums with style. This instalment of the beautiful Little Books of City Style series will explore the fashion history of the city that never sleeps, providing an exquisitely illustrated guide to dressing like a Native New Yorker.
A book I wouldn't normally pick up that had me glued to its pages. Short enough to hold my attention for a field that I haven't explored earlier. Fun book to own and to be able to look through from time to time without reading it from start to finish, but also a nice read if one does choose the traditional start-to-finish method.
Well, currently I’m into fashion and those little books seem as the most obvious choice to read. I like the author, as it is the second book I’m reading by her and I like her way of writing. On point and clear.
Too focused on luxury fashion for me. Although street fashion and underground’s and subcultures are mentioned it lacks representation of « ordinary » people, working and underprivileged classes who, in my opinion, represent style just as much (if not more).
