"New Yorkers are very business-like. We're a purposeful bunch. So I find that I dress for the occasion, but the goal is always the same: to accomplish something wonderful and beneficial for others besides myself."

"Being on stage, I used to feel more comfortable with jeans, boots and a top. But now it's nice to show the legs a little bit. Especially if I'm going to the gym, I might as well show it!"

"I like New York style because I think it's more accessible than what you might see in Europe. In Milan, a lot of the women are wearing super high heels and mini-skirts during the daytime. Here you can be casual, but still very put together."

"The toughest thing about creating a wardrobe is finding the right designer that fits you. I buy all of my dress shirts at Pink, because I can buy a certain size off the rack and it fits perfectly with tailoring. That's a really good trick: get to know which designers and which cuts actually fit you so you don't have to think about it a lot."

"Justin Bieber is a fashion icon. I definitely love his style, even though he's younger. I put a little bit of an older touch to that look. I'll still wear the sneakers and the jeans but he'll wear vests and stuff, while I'll wear a blazer and a custom button-up."

"I prize all of my clothes in the same way because they're each different modes of expression. Trying to choose a favorite is like asking what part of your vernacular is worth more than the other. Words are words and they help you to express yourself, and the same is true for a piece of clothing."

Laurie Cole, SoulCycle master instructor, actress

"I spend the majority of my day in workout clothing so I have to find a way to feel sexy and flirty while I am doing that. But I try to leave that behind when I'm not teaching. Sometimes people see me on the streets and they go, 'Wow you look so different!' I am not so sure that's a compliment!"

"In NYC there are many people that are so unique and express themselves in ways that I find really inspiring," says Alison. "It's so great just to sit and watch people, especially in the East Village and Williamsburg where we live. These brilliant ideas and outfits just walk by you everywhere."
