Back to the Studio with Fernando Mastrangelo (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Early in his career, Fernando Mastrangelo entered a design scene reeling from the 2008 recession. Newly degreed with a sculpture M.F.A. from Virginia Commonwealth and a formative stint assisting artist Matthew Barney, Mastrangelo was ready to work, but he couldn’t rely on familiar channels for establishing his name. Conventional pipelines for selling and showing design were stagnating, and heritage manufacturer contracts had evaporated. In that vacuum, an entrepreneurial cohort of American desig
Why Is Bravo So Obsessed With Fidi? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Last October, the 31-year-old crypto investor and reality-television star Charlie Zakkour strolled down Beaver Street in the Financial District, trailed by cameras. He was shooting the second season of Bravo’s most-watched reality show, Next Gen NYC, which premiered in 2025 and follows a coterie of models, influencers, and nepo babies, including five children of Real Housewives.

The Secret Lives of Subways (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s midnight on a steamy August day and Christopher Payne is standing in the middle of a Brooklyn-bound lane of the Battery Tunnel, a mischievous smile on his face. Forty years ago, as a college student at Columbia, Payne says, he would occasionally appropriate a subway-station sign. “Now, here I am,” he says, “getting paid by the MTA to go places I shouldn’t.” The tube is closed to cars so that its 400,000 wall tiles can be cleaned — and so that Payne, who for the past 20 years has built a vas
