Andrew Coulter Enright’s piece How Fashionable or Consume Like Me (2003) is his humorous take on the evolution of the “New York hipster” movement – a little “Black Book” of “The little things we do to seem cool to people like ourselves”. How to be to Fashionable or Consume Like Me covers everything from what you should buy, eat, drink, read, visit, check out, and most importantly wear if you want to be a true “New York Hipster”.
