Anya Sacharow and Shawn Dahl recently put together an alternative book that celebrates New York’s most stylish borough. While some would argue that Manhattan is the epicenter of style, this book showcases the beauty and diversity of Brooklyn street style.
The book is called ‘Brooklyn Street Style’ and it features over 200 photos of Brooklynites dressed in their most unique outfits. Unlike other style guides, this alternative book adopts a no-rules approach to dressing. The photos are diverse and body positive, demonstrating that fashion is for everyone. Beyond the photos, the book also provides information about Brooklyn, including where to drink, dine and shop.
With New York Fashion Week just around the corner, Brooklyn Street Style provides a wealth of style inspiration.
