Join legendary style writer Guy Trebay with Fern Mallis for a special Fashion Icons conversation about his new memoir, Do Something: Coming of Age Amid the Glitter and Doom of ’70s New York.
Born in the Bronx, and eventually a fixture in Andy Warhol’s Factory, Guy Trebay was raised in an atmosphere of privilege on Long Island’s North Shore after his entrepreneurial father struck business gold with a wildly successful cologne company. But behind the facade of material prosperity lay the emotional disarray of a household dominated by a charismatic, con artist father, a glamorous yet lost and careless mother, a family haunted by tragedy. In this deeply candid conversation, her him on how his young life shaped his writing — from meeting Warhol superstars like Jackie Curtis and Candy Darling to fashion geniuses like Charles James — becoming an indispensable chronicler of American style.
