Watching New York

Watching New York is an A-Z visual exploration capturing the best street style New York City has to offer. Dubbed the “The People’s Paparazzi,” Johnny Cirillo has been making a name for himself with his candid shots of everyday people walking the streets of NYC—from Williamsburg to Soho—and capturing their creative, one-of-a-kind looks on his popular Instagram and TikTok accounts @watchingnewyork, where he has amassed millions of dedicated followers.

The book will be a continuation of Johnny’s mission of highlighting the best, quirkiest, and most authentic looks and the incredibly creative minds behind them. A combination of Humans of New York meets The Sartorialist, Watching New York will include new and old photos and will be organized by look or style from A to Z (from accessories to zebra stripes) with a heavy emphasis on interviews and quotes appearing throughout to showcase the people who make NYC the fashion capital of the world.
