Industry people will tell you that fashion changes all the time, but that’s only a half-truth: most current trends are rooted in the retro. The saying “there’s nothing new under the sun” is more than just a platitude, it’s the reality of nearly all contemporary style. Fashion constantly poses the question: how can you update the classics and make them modern and of-the-moment, rather than dated and passé?
The Fashion Spot went on a city-wide expedition, from 125th Street in Manhattan all the way down to Brooklyn, to find out how New York City women were doing exactly that. We focused on a few spots that have historically been centers of creative life and music in NYC, including The Apollo, The Village Vanguard, and Washington Square Park.
