Bill Cunningham has been photographing
New
York street style
for the last 50 years. Well before the days of email, internet, and blogging,
Bill was recording the outfits of stylish and well-dressed New Yorkers,
alongside his career as photographer for the New York Times. This original octogenarian has inspired leagues of street-style bloggers and photographers,
and a film documenting his life and pictures opens in the
UK on
March 16, 2012.
This film is a portrait of a man, who has
produced a body of work more reliable than any catwalk as an expression of
time, place and individual flair. Already receiving accolades at film festivals
worldwide, Bill Cunningham New York is
"a delicate, funny and often poignant portrait of a dedicated artist whose
only wealth is his own humanity and unassuming grace".
