Book New York Chic

Take a trip to New York, with Assouline as your guide. This megalopolis is often intimidating and overwhelming, but New York Chic, seen through the warm lens of Oliver Pilcher, presents a more intimate vision of the city, beyond the stereotypes. Daily moments with New Yorkers, as they want to present themselves, illustrate the true genius loci of the city. This book brings together a visual definition of “New York chic” and features New York icons, emerging designers and distinctly New York spaces.
