Descending from the heights of Nepal, Holiday magazine celebrates the tenth anniversary of its rebirth by heading west for a unique issue on the ultimate city: New York. The journey is guest-edited by Camilla Nickerson, who takes us on a tour of her adopted home through the eyes of those she admires. Hilton Als writes about Diane Arbus in Manhattan, Ottessa Moshfegh revisits the characters in her novel My Year of Rest and Relaxation, Joan Didion leaves New York once again in a posthumous reprint of her quintessential essay Goodbye to All That, Marc Jacobs opens up to Tommy Dorfman, and Andrea Whittle describes a day in Francesco and Alba Clemente’s family home and recounts their New York saga. And those are just a few of the highlights.

As for the photographers, Zoë Ghertner, collaborating with Camilla Nickerson, displays her gift for using light and expressing sensuality; Mark Borthwick documents Susan Cianciolo’s latest work in his inimitable way; and Joel Meyerowitz lets us explore his works on New York, some of which have never been published. Jack Day, Max Farago, Olivier Kervern, Liv Liberg, Dougal MacArthur, Mario Sorrenti, Gray Sorrenti, Guido Palau, Nigel Shafran, Senta Simond, Stanislas Motz-Neidhart and Robin Galiegue also offer us their visions of New York as a haven for unheard voices.
