Bill Cunningham

Marc and I had date night tonight (what can I say, we are parents now) and the night entailed drinks and a movie. We had cocktails at Tavern Restaurant in Brentwood then headed over to the Nuart Theater to see the first LA showing of Billing Cunningham New York. It is only running for a week so run don't walk to catch this film. Bill has been documenting street fashion in NY for some 40 plus years and is a NY icon. I guess you can say that Bill is employed by the NY times though he has never cashed a paycheck for fear he might be bought! The measures Bill goes to in order to maintain a purity in his work comes as a breath of fresh air in our current sell out culture. The movie is less about fashion and more about a human being's complete and utter devotion to his work. Thanks for the pics Bill!
