Bill Cunningham New York

So I recently watched Bill Cunningham New York at The Loft theater and it was fabulous!  Anyone who is a fashion enthusiast and loves the urban street wear fashion scene of New York City MUST watch this documentary!!!  The doc is of course based on the life of New York Times fashion photographer, Bill Cunningham and his amazing love of true fashion.  Although he appreciates the fine fashions that sway down the runways, he is a strong believer that true fashion really begins on the streets of New York City.  For decades, he has passionately chronicled New York’s street fashion through the lens of his camera.  He peruses the streets on his bike, only stopping to take photos of random people who are dressed to stand out of the crowd.  His skillful eye has captured countless people wearing everything from vibrant, colorful, outrageous, bold, funny and stunning fashions.  Many times what’s out on the streets is later seen on the runways.  This proves Bill’s point that fashion, perhaps does begin on the imperial streets of New York City.
