Mason Out Loud

In this unflinching personal essay, "Fractures", Kerry Folan examines friendship, honesty, and brokenness while deconstructing the emptiness at the heart of her glamorous, successful New York life. A short discussion with the author follows. Kerry Folan writes about fashion, retail, art, and culture. After a stint editing Women in the Arts magazine in DC and an internship at The Believer in San Francisco, she headed to New York to kick off Ralph Lauren's Rugby Blog in 2007. From 2011 to 2013 she covered all things retail and fashion as the Editor of Racked National. These days, she writes about the ethics of fashion and conscious consumerism for multiple publications, creates editorial for sustainable businesses, and directs outreach for DC's annual literary festival, Fall for the Book.
