Slaves of New York is a rom-com from 1989 starring Bernadette Peters. Peters plays Eleanor, a hat designer with rad ’80s style, who is navigating New York’s “Downtown” art  scene. Eleanor lives with her self-absorbed artist boyfriend Stash, until her awesome hat designs are discovered by a fashion designer named Wilfredo, played by Steve Buscemi. I won’t spoil the entire plot of this great film, which I urge you to check out if you haven’t already. It’s full of eccentric art world characters, fashionistas, and lofts and galleries full of ’80s art. The film is based on the book by Tama Janowitz.
