Before the Sartoriliast there was Bill Cunningham, the original street style photographer. Bill has been documenting the fashionable, weird and creative people of New York city for the past 50 years.
Last night a select group of people were invited to the W Hotel in Chicago for a screening of the documentary Bill Cunningham New York with a special Q&A with director Richard Press and producer Philip Gefter. As a street style photographer it was a doubly exciting to get a chance to see the film in the luxurious lounge enviroment of the W and hear the film makers discuss their work, Bill Cunningham, and New York style.
