Bill Cunningham: New York

The portrait by Richard Press of New York’s living legend Bill Cunningham is an example of how true passion can take over both one’s work and life. Having sensed a strong pull towards fashion and photography since very young age, Cunningham, now 81, takes photos of everything and everyone that seems worth capturing at a given moment. Circling around Manhattan with his bicycle and visiting the New York fashion weeks, the reclusive Cunningham stops to shoot a remarkable hat, Anna Wintour’s carmine red dress or just a T-shirt that fits its owner perfectly. With his dedication and discretion he has earned an access to the lives of many famous fashion figures without any specific effort.



BILL CUNNINGHAM NEW YORK is a film that finds a way to the heart of every fashionista with its warmth, brightness and honesty.
