11 Americans With Style We Love

There are "influencers," and then there are people with true influence. The people unafraid to break a few rules and shake shit up. The folks shaping not just the way we dress but how we think about style in general. These are the photographers and stylists, the consultants and confidants, the makers and movers who are setting the conversation and then driving it forward. Yes, you will find them in your feed and on your For You page—in fact, you probably follow many if not all of these people. And yes, they do have large followings. But they are also authentic. The content they dole out is personal, a cut above the rest. For this summer edition of the Big Black Book—Esquire's long-running manual for style and luxury—we gathered 11 of them in New York.
