Living in New York City is a testament to resilience and adaptability. The city demands much but offers much in return. Each neighborhood, each block, each building tells a unique story of its residents, their struggles, and their triumphs.

The issue also contains three essays written by Alexa Chung, Violette d’Urso and Zoe Ruffner about their own relationship to the city and what it means to them to live in New York.

The issue also includes a fashion insert photographed by Roe Ethridge and styled by Charlotte Collet built to contrast with the serenity of the main portfolio to create a fashion story populated by people encountered daily around the city : the dog walker, the bike messenger, the art patron, or teenagers with a surprise guest appearance by famed author, journalist and iconic New Yorker Bob Colacello.
