Mikaela Dery's Fashion Fiction Series Celebrates Literary Fashion Writing with Cult Following

Nearly a year ago, Mikaela Dery introduced Fashion Fiction, a monthly series that merges literature with fashion. These complimentary events, hosted at various locations in New York, often reach full capacity within hours. Fashion Fiction elevates fashion writing to a form of literary expression, distinct from commercial interests. Recent gatherings showcased authors such as Zoe Dubno, Doreen St. Félix, and Katie Roiphe, with collaborations that include Warby Parker. At the most recent event at Surrender Dorothy, participants enjoyed vintage attire and wine while writers presented their pieces. Dery secured permission from Plum Sykes to adopt the "Fashion Fiction" title, inspired by Sykes's column in Vogue. Additionally, Dery curates a Substack for event announcements and highlights five key books that influence her fashion writing.
