Fashion Figures and Artists Gather for Literary Event in New York City

In February, a group of models, dancers, writers, and publishers participated in a photoshoot celebrating New York's literary culture. The event took place at Argosy Book Store, a century-old Manhattan shop, and other locations including Le Veau D'Or bistro and Lincoln Center. Participants included model Bhavitha Mandava, New York City Ballet dancers, Farrar, Straus and Giroux publisher Mitzi Angel, poet Frederick Seidel, and actress Sarah Jessica Parker. The gathering highlighted a trend of returning to physical books over digital screens, featuring discussions of upcoming publications like Monica Datta's 'Nebraska' and Daniel Mason's 'Country People'.
