New York Magazine's 50th anniversary is commemorated in the latest clothing collection and accompanying editorial by streetwear brand Only NY. The offerings boast a casual aesthetic for the print media connoisseur.
The magazine publication has deeply integrated itself within the city's narrative with its informative coverage of art, culture, politics, lifestyle and more. The streetwear collection that pays tribute to New York Magazine's 50th anniversary is the second drop from an ongoing collaboration between the well-loved publication and Only NY. Through the partnership of these two New York-centric brands, the spirit of the city is concretely reinforced.
The graphic tee offerings in the collaboration boast nostalgia-inducing and history-identifying covers from the magazine's print circulation — including Milton Glaser's "psychedelic 'Bombing On the Mind' published in April 1970."
