Your friend is visiting NYC for one day. What locations would you take them? I’m intrigued by the access to art in NYC, so I would suggest museums and exhibits to anyone visiting. The Met, MoMA PS1, and the Whitney are some of my favorites as well as a string of small galleries on Bowery Steet. We would also have to visit the local vintage shops I frequent downtown, followed by dinner at La Esquina in SoHo.
How do you typically layer when you’re going out in cold weather? Cold weather doesn’t inhibit me from dressing very eccentric. If I want to wear a miniskirt in the middle of winter, I will, but I’ll pair it with a chunky knit, knee-high boots, and a knee-length shearling to top it off.
Tell us a story about your most epic night out Any NYC night out can be epic at any time because this city is such a melting pot of energy and expression. My most epic night out was during a Halloween event, hosted by , when Dominique Jackson pulled me out of the crowd and brought me onstage to dance with her. Dominique is an icon, and I admire her tremendously, so to receive that attention in that moment was a moment to remember.
