We hate to brag, but we couldn’t be more excited about our Transformed Summer Issue. Go pick up a copy, on stands now, and experience the new CITY. Yes, it’s bigger. Yes, it has a new look and feel. Yes, it’s sexy as hell. And the new format is just the most visible of the changes. CITY has been a part of the cultural landscape since its birth in SoHo over a decade ago, but we are the first to acknowledge that there are a plethora of magazines on the newsstand that deal, in not-so-different ways, with the same “style” territory. We wanted CITY to break that mold, to stand out from the crowd, to be original and unique, and we decided to go about being revolutionary by going back to basics. So the format: oversized, saddle-stitched, classic, reminiscent of magazines in publishing’s “golden age” — the Vanity Fair and Esquire of the ’60s, the Nova and Interview of the ’70s — and with a point of view to match. Every city needs a voice, and we want this city’s—New York City’s—to be ours.
For this issue, photographer Zach Gold shot our covergirl, the “fang-tastic” Cintia Dicker, and also highlighted the fashionable ladies of the night in “25 Cents ‘Til Midnight.” The British band The Cazals suited up in “Step Sharp” to showcase dapper menswear for the summer, and in our expanded Citizens section we have more profiles than ever, including interviews with Dean and Dan Caten behind the DSquared2 label, A Night at the Museum’s Mizuo Peck, and legendary NYC nightlife photographer Roxanne Lowit.
