Bill Cunningham: On The Street

Through his skilled eye and camera lens, celebrated photographer Bill Cunningham spent five decades chronicling the evolution of fashion on the streets of New York City. Bill Cunningham: On the Street is the first-ever published collection of photographs from the icon of street style, bringing together excerpts originally published in his New York Times column, along with never-before-seen images from his personal collection. Organized by era, this volume starts in the 1970s and works its way through almost half a century of trends and moments of self-expression, as well as Cunningham’s unique perspective on some key moments in NYC history. These shots are accompanied by a series of short essays from fellow journalists and fashion critics — including one of his favorite subjects, Anna Wintour — which together capture a revealing portrait of the man behind the camera. A timeless tribute to Cunningham’s commitment to his craft, this book is required reading for photographers and style gurus alike.
