Bill Cunningham New York (2011) Review

I saw Bill Cunningham New York this week and felt very fortunate to have seen it before it closed in L.A. Bill is no ordinary guy; he has an eye for exactly what he's looking for, not simply photographing the rich and famous of N.Y., but rather people on the streets of New York who are wearing something that catches his eye; whether it's women's shoes one week, black clothes in the summer, oddball t-shirts being worn by men and women, people dressing with an unusual sense of style, it's all part of what he uses to create his interesting weekly column in the N.Y. Times, "On the Street" which speaks to the individuality of how women dress, their mixture of colors, their borrowing elements from couturier designs to mix with their own sense of style, and how fashion trends are born. As he shows us, everything old is new again when clothes, jewelry, and accessories are used in a creative way.
Bill leads the simplest of lives; until recently, he resided at Carnegie Hall in a studio rent-control apartment with a
handful of other senior creative people who have lived there for many decades. Bill's studio is filled from top to
bottom with file cabinets chock full of all of his work spanning the last 50 years. He is an extremely modest man leading an ascetic life, rides his bike everywhere, and his main passion in life is his work. He is the last person one might expect to be focused on fashion and style, but there he is, in the midst of it all, respected & loved by so many in the fashion industry, that one can only walk away from this film feeling gratified by the experience of having seen it. I LOVED IT.

Bill Cunningham New York (2011) Overview

"We all get dressed for Bill," says Vogue editor Anna Wintour. The Bill in question is 80+ New York Times photographer Bill Cunningham. For decades, this Schwinn-riding cultural anthropologist has been obsessively and inventively chronicling fashion trends he spots emerging from Manhattan sidewalks and high society charity soirees for his beloved Style section columns On The Street and Evening Hours.Cunningham's enormous body of work is more reliable than any catwalk as an expression of time, place and individual flair. The range of people he snaps uptown fixtures like Wintour, Brooke Astor, Tom Wolfe and Annette de la Renta (who appear in the film out of their love for Bill), downtown eccentrics and everyone in between reveals a delirious and delicious romp through New York. But rarely has anyone embodied contradictions as happily and harmoniously as Bill, who lived a monk-like existence in the same Carnegie Hall studio at for fifty years, never eats in restaurants and gets around solely on bike number 29 (28 having been stolen).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.
