Bill Cunningham is the curiously quaint but accomplished bicycling fashion photographer who narrates his imagery of streetwear for the NYT each week. (Think a jolly old man banters about The Sartorialist’s pics.)
Cunningham’s attraction is his inspired reverence for the ebbs and flows of commuter/street culture and the way that fashion responds to it. He catches stylish people in very real and accessible moments of going through their daily paces. I love seeing each week’s feature, because it adds both gravity and levity to my opinions of the hordes of outfits I see every day.
Here’s the full archive of Bill Cunningham’s On the Street vignettes. And one of my favorites, Dampened: Fashion Week goers looking riotously hot as they brave a downpour.
