Bart Sights

The almost black sheen of Bart Sight’s fingernails aren’t the mark of a closet Goth. The discoloration also has nothing to do with his inability to work with a hammer. “Some think I’m so clumsy that I’ve hit every one of my nails with a hammer,” he says. “I’ve actually...

Suze Yalof Schwartz

She’d been working in fashion for only a few years when the opportunity to work at Vogue came up. With an interview with famed (and feared) doyenne Anna Wintour planned, Suze Yalof Schwartz did her prep work. “I had been doing all the editorial reports for Giorgio Armani, so...

Coati Mundi

It’s hard to fathom what life as a 25-year-old musician in a successful band in 1970s New York must have been like. Coati Mundi’s memories of the time are as colorful as they are clouded. A native of Spanish Harlem, he grew up with salsa superstars practicing their music...

Ben Winkler

Among the hardest things to nail down about Ben Winkler is his timeline. Not just where he came from and where he’s been, but where he’s going. I reached him by phone in Sedona, Arizona where he arrived after spending the previous days hunkering down at night in places...

Teresa Thornber-Mann

At 60, Teresa Thornber-Mann says she was deemed too old to be working in London’s financial center—where she had risen to executive assistant—and was let go. She spent the next few weeks searching for a similar job before discovering that none would materialize. “After the crisis comes a realization that...
