"Emily Spivack's latest book is a homage to the city's style, with everyone from Lena Dunham to Adam Horovitz contributing." ----British Vogue"Revealing the stories behind iconic outfits. From Brooklyn-based writer Emily Spivack comes Worn in New York, a set of stories chronicling the meanings and memories behind items of clothing." ----Elle"The resulting 68 confessionals include functionalists and flauntists: the Canadian model Coco Rocha recalls the wine-stained, Elizabeth Taylor-owned suit she wore to the Met Ball; a female fire-captain offers her FDNY uniform, and the writer Gay Talese nominates a Brioni suit he's been wearing since 1959. All combine to create a sweetly alternative portrait of human survival in the big city." ----Financial Times

Synopsis
The boots a passenger had on when his plane landed on the Hudson River. The tank top Andy Warhol's assistant wore to one of their nightclub outings together. The jacket a taxi driver put on to feel safe as he worked the night shift. -- These and over sixty other clothing-inspired narratives make up Worn in New York, the latest volume from New York Times bestselling author Emily Spivack. In these first-person accounts, contributors in and out of the public eye share surprising, personal, wild, poignant, and funny stories behind a piece of clothing that reminds them of a significant moment of their New York lives. Worn in New York offers a contemporary cultural history of the city--its changing identity, temper, and tone, and its irrepressible vitality--by paying tribute to these well-loved clothes and the people who wore them. Includes contributions from: Adam Horovitz Amy Heckerling Andre Royo Anna Sui Aubrey Plaza Catherine Opie Coco Rocha Dick Cavett Eileen Myles Fab 5 Freddy Gay Talese Genesis Breyer P-Orridge JD Samson Jenji Kohan Jenna Lyons Kyp Malone Lena Dunham Pee Wee Kirkland Thelma Golden Timothy Greenfield-Sanders, Now a Netflix original series The boots a passenger had on when his plane landed on the Hudson River.
