Since 2011, we’ve celebrated our anniversary by exploring a slice of New York City’s history in our Yesteryear issue. This year, we decided to look back at the city’s insatiable appetite for — and indispensable supply of — “It” girls. We gave New York subscribers a special peek into how these ideas are born and what goes into making a sprawling package like this one with a conversation between New York editors and writers..

We're here to give you a sneak peak of that conversation, subscribe today for full access to everything 'It Girl' and more behind-the-scenes content.

 

Lindsay Peoples: I loved this old  New York Magazine cover story of Olivia Palermo and Tinsley Mortimer. The cover line was “America’s Last Top Socialite,” and I remember thinking about the idea of an “It” girl, that fleeting moment in time for these women, and we were talking about different themes for the Yesteryear issue — so I brought it to an ideas meeting.

 

Alexis: I’ve been really dreaming of “It” girls, and it was hard to turn it off in my brain. I thought of a new one in the shower the other day, and was like,  It’s okay, we can cover them another time.
