A Year in Cycling
One of the most lasting and unexpected impacts of the pandemic on New York City may be the transformation of our city streets. In the first few months of the shutdown, when subways were reserved for essential workers, New Yorkers took to cycling and many of them never stopped. Bikes whizzed by where trucks once idled, and even now that car traffic has returned, cyclists and outdoor diners have not relinquished their claim on public space.
Cycling also influenced what we wear, the key question being, can you pedal in it? Whatever that is, be it a dress or a pantsuit or bike shorts, it’s probably your best option for daytime dressing.
Fran Lebowitz and Graydon Carter, September 2009
Fran Lebowitz has a new movie out, Public Speaking, made with some guy named Martin Scorcese. But before you watch that, you may want to read her collection of essays in The Fran Lebowitz Reader – part of the core curriculum for any New Yorker.
I took this photo so long ago in the front row of one show or another, but I still remember what she said. “Oh good. I love being photographed next to [Graydon Carter]. He makes me look young.”

That Time Again: NYFW Men’s
It’s time to gear up for another round of men’s fashion week starting next Monday in NYC. Somewhat controversially, NYFW: Men’s runs right up into NYFW (women’s) this season, but the timing works with the trend of combining men’s and women’s collections on the runway. We’ll see what happens!
