"We all get dressed for Bill," says Anna Wintour

Guess most fashion lovers have bookmarked a few of the top 10 Street Style Photographers as their daily visit websites nowadays. Whose your favorite for the best captures of street fashion? Garance dore, The Satorialist, Style from Tokyo? Playing a role as a journalist documenting the street, I paid most respect and appreciation to the 80+ New York Times photographer Bill Cunningham. More than just filming work and life, director Richard Press's documentary film is a charming portrait of the obsessive and inventive photographer's pursuit of fashion, elegance and humanity on the streets of New York. For decades, Cunningham gliding through the city on his 29th Schwinn bicycle, in which the last 28 were stolen over the years, dashing through fashion shows to glamorous balls and parties. Documenting uptown fixtures, like Anna Wintour, Tom Wolfe, Brooke Astor, David Rockefeller etc., who appear in the film out of their love for Bill, to downtown eccentrics.
Cunningham’s enormous body of work is more reliable than any catwalk as an expression of time, place and individual flair. Cunningham's weekly columns in the Sunday Styles of the New york Times features numerous impressive captures and layouts under his precise directions. The concept, the themes, the visual sense; it's an amusing documentary of a delicate, funny and often poignant portrait of a dedicated artist whose only wealth is his own humanity and unassuming grace. Don't miss it!
