Brooklyn Street Style: The No-Rules Guide to Fashion captures the spirit of one of the world's most influential style capitals through the people, neighborhoods, and creative communities that define its distinctive look.
Fashion in Brooklyn follows its own rules. Bold, creative, eclectic, and deeply personal, Brooklyn style is less about labels and trends than self-expression, individuality, and dressing for real life.
Authors Anya Sacharow and Shawn Dahl explore the forces that transformed Brooklyn into a global fashion destination, highlighting the borough's maker culture, vintage sensibility, independent designers, and growing focus on sustainability and conscious consumption. Drawing on interviews and insights from prominent Brooklyn tastemakers across fashion, design, food, music, and entertainment, the book offers inspiration that is both stylish and approachable.
Featuring more than 175 striking street-style photographs by Sioux Nesi, the book showcases a remarkable range of personal style, from effortlessly casual looks to daring fashion statements. Profiles and practical advice from influential Brooklyn creatives, including style expert Mary Alice Stephenson, costume designer Jenn Rogien, blogger Cipriana Quann, musician Alexis Krauss, and actor-playwright Eisa Davis, reveal how confidence and authenticity shape great personal style.
