Discover the fascinating journey of New York’s fashion history on this guided walking tour through Manhattan’s East 60s and 70s - where Gilded Age mansions share sidewalks with Tom Ford, The Row and Ralph Lauren boutiques.
Led by a veteran producer from Project Runway, explore the blend of cultures, artistry, and innovation that shaped the world of fashion. Find out how and why New York became the birthplace of Vogue, Fashion Week, the Met Gala, Bergdorf Goodman, Studio 54, hip-hop street style — and that's barely scratching the surface
Within these two miles, the fashions created and worn here have reflected every cultural, political, and economic shift — and quietly served as a "Cerulean Blue" inspiration for a whole world of people, whether they love fashion or couldn't care less.
