"We All Get Dressed Up For Bill" - Anna Wintour


Last night, I watched a great documentary "Bill Cunningham New York."  Bill Cunningham is an 80-year-old photographer for the New York Times, known for his weekly column "On The Street."  He's not about taking amazing photos but more about capturing fashion and lifestyle.  He is a legend and he is out on the streets every day, weaving through New York traffic on his bike,  spotting trends before people even know it's a trend.  He has devoted his whole life to fashion.  The evidence is shown in his tiny little studio at Carnegie Hall where in place of furniture with the exception of a twin size bed, he has file cabinets along the walls and in between where he has every negative of every picture he's ever taken.  I won't give it all away for those who haven't seen this amazing film.  If you haven't seen this documentary yet, definitely take some time to watch it.

Here are some pages from his weekly column "On The Street"
