These and over sixty other clothing-inspired narratives make up Worn in New York, the contemporary volume from New York Times bestselling writer Emily Spivack. In these first-person accounts, contributors out and in of the public eye share surprising, personal, wild, poignant, and funny stories in the back of a piece of clothing that reminds them of a significant moment in their New York lives. Worn in New York offers a latest 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 individuals who wore them.
