… fashion is the armor to survive the reality of every day life. I don’t think you could do away with it. It would be like doing away with civilization.
– Bill Cunningham (1929-2016), fashion photographer for the New York Times. Quoted in the documentary, Bill Cunningham New York.
I was sad to hear that Mr. Cunningham had passed away this last Saturday after suffering a stroke.
From his modesty to his signature French blue working jacket to his keen eye for unique fashion – there will never be another Bill Cunningham. RIP.
