What We Wore
Our sixth annual �Yesteryear� issue looks at decades of dressing in New York, including the evolution of women’s workwear, our worship of the color black, and many clothes that became memories: Bette Midler on her 1960s go-go boots, Gisele’s favorite earring, and the jacket that made Robert Longo feel like Superman. Plus: Cathy Horyn salutes Nan Kempner, Linda Wells recalls running into Diana Vreeland,
and Rembert Browne remembers seeing Puff Daddy as an angel. By Amy Larocca
On the Cover: Fifth Avenue, midtown, 1964. Photograph
by Joel Meyerowitz.
