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.
