Description

The boots a passenger had on when his plane landed on the Hudson River.
The tank top Andy Warhols assistant wore to one of their nightclub outings together.

In these first-person accounts, contributors in and out of the public eye share surprising, personal, wild, poignant, and funny stories behind a piece of clothing that reminds them of a significant moment of their New York lives. Worn in New York offers a contemporary 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 people who wore them.
