a senior men’s style editor at New York

Why are men freaking out about shorts? Why is that Knicks benchwarmer so stylish all of a sudden? How is the Fashion Week crowd handling a Paris heat wave? I’m Samuel Hine, and every Thursday I will answer those questions and more in New York Look, a newsletter devoted to men’s style and fashion.

New York has always reported on how we dress. The name of this newsletter is a reference to Look, a special issue published three times between 2007 and 2008 about the rites and rituals of the collections season: the designers, models, critics, and, of course, the clothes that were flying off the catwalks and into Barneys.
