the culture list
Fashion inherently draws on the culture around it—the books we read, the art we see, the ideas we return to. This Culture Issue explores those influences and celebrates the way they shape how we dress today. It's a focused look at the most compelling voices and ideas defining the literature, art, and design worlds.
We sit down with scriptwriter and actress Cazzie David to discuss her book of personal essays that has everyone talking, as well as Nara Smith, who's taking her hypnotic "cooking in couture" videos offline with her cookbook, Homemade. We also take a look at the interior designers behind the buzziest luxury retail outposts, the must-know events on this season's cultural calendar, and the visionaries shaping the New York art scene. Consider this your guide to what matters now and what's next.
