"Bill Cunningham New York"




Bill Cunningham is superb.
End of.
I could stop there but I guess I should go a bit deeper.
Bill is an 85 year old fashion photographer for The New York Times and his focus has always been to capture true style on the streets opposed to just on the catwalks.
His obsession with his work has consumed his entire life and he still enjoys every minute of it.




I just watched the documentary "Bill Cunningham New York" and I can't truly express how much joy I got out of it.
To see a person who truly enjoys every second of their life and their work is so inspiring.
The contrast though is that he lives alone, has never had a romantic relationship and lives in a teeny tiny apartment with nothing but filing cabinets of his lives work, tons of a books and a bed on the floor.
To anyone else that would be hell on earth but to Bill it's all he's ever known and he loves it.




Bill seeks out true style and true design.
Anything else is just uninteresting and shouldn't be given a spotlight.
Listening to how Bill talks about style is quite reminiscent of Diana Vreeland, one of my idols.
Bill is truly such a wonderful human being and I urge you to check out the trailer below.
