In Viv Chen’s interview with Tory Burch, the designer compares her workday vibe to being “like an athlete where it’s about discipline and grit and endurance.” It’s a sentiment that sums up much of the spirit of our May “Momentum” issue, which looks at art as a sport and sport as an art.
Whether you’re playing fútbol, sewing clothes or staging a performance, it’s a physical as well as mental game. Above all, the artist-athletes in these pages show us the rewards of their commitments. Their stories are all reminders that dedication to one’s craft is not just life-giving, it’s what makes life worth living.
