Bill Cunningham is a legend in the genre of street fashion photography. He is most known for his shots in the New York Times style section, where urbane New Yorkers show off their best and worst clothing choices... These photos can mean huge profits for an unknown designer, or can just be fun to look through over Sunday brunch...
The New Yorker covered his career as Cunningham is about to turn 80. Wonder what doors will be opened and closed in the world of both high and low fashion as the economic crisis lingers and many (including myself) see it lasting for more than a season...
According to the piece: "Cunningham is as interested in the bourgeois as he is in the avantgarde, and the mundane accessories of day-to-day life are as exalted in his photographs as any platform shoe or deconstructed bustle."
""The season is changing, but it’s more than change of season,” he said. “It’s how fashion will reflect the financial change…You just have to stay out on the street and get it. It’s all here.”"
