The big city called New York often seems overwhelming, but in New York Chic, it is seen through the warm lens of Oliver Pilcher, who presents a more intimate view of the city, beyond the stereotypes.

Fashion designer Zaldy Goco gives a tour of his creative space in the Financial District. The late artist Françoise Gilot opens the doors to her Upper West Side apartment. Omar Hernandez shares an unforgettable night at La Goulue. José Parlá takes us on a tour of his studio in Brooklyn. Photographer Oliver Pilcher hit the streets of New York over the course of several months to capture the pulse of the city. Artists, writers, designers, chefs and others who have decided to call New York home share their thoughts on the beautiful metropolis. New York Chic immerses you in the colorful, vibrant and sometimes contradictory aesthetic of this city of dreams and possibilities.
