Take a journey to New York City with Assouline as your travel guide. This megacity can feel intimidating and overwhelming, but New York Chic, seen through the warm lens of Oliver Pilcher, offers a more intimate view of the city beyond the stereotypes. Everyday moments with the people of New York City, as they wish to present themselves, illustrate the true genius loci of the city. This travel photography book gathers a visual definition of “New York Chic” and features New York icons, rising creatives, and places that are unique to New York.

The fashion designer Zaldy Goco guides you through his creative space in the Financial District. The late artist Françoise Gilot opens the doors to her apartment on the Upper West Side. The nightlife impresario Omar Hernandez recounts an unforgettable night at La Goulue. José Parlá guides readers through his studio in Brooklyn. Photographer Oliver Pilcher spent several months roaming the streets of New York to capture the essence of the city. Artists, writers, designers, chefs and others who have made New York their home share their thoughts on this beautiful metropolis. New York Chic invites you to immerse yourself in the colorful, vibrant, and sometimes contradictory aesthetics of this city of dreams and possibilities.
