Interviews. Photographs by Hans Neumann ; text and Interviews by Gabriel Rivera-Barraza ; foreword by Ben Rodriguez-Cubenas.
Summary:
Nuevo New York is a collection of portraits and interviews with influential Latin Americans who came to New York City to pursue their ambitions. The portraits are born out of a collaboration between two authors who made the journey from Latin America to New York themselves, photographer Hans Neumann (born in Peru), and fashion publicist Gabriel Rivera-Barraza (born in Mexico). Each figure included in Nuevo New York is an important player in the fields of fashion and the arts, having lived in New York City for at least five years and having gained recognition for their work. Neumann and Rivera-Barraza trace how their subjects came to be who they are today, and what role the city of New York has played in their trajectories. Interviewees include Andres Serrano, Candy Pratts Price, Carolina Herrera, Enrique Norten, Estrellita Brodsky, Francisco Costa, Jose Parla, Lazaro Hernandez, Maria Cornejo, Proenza Schouler, Isabel & Ruben Toledeo, Narciso Rodriguez, Victor Alfaro, Carlos Campos,Edmundo Castillo, Miguel Enamorado, and Nina Garcia.
