Rank by site 9, Rank by IMDb 10; Overal score = 19 points
Directed by Richard Press
Anna Wintour, editor-in-chief of Vogue, once said, “We all dress up for Bill.” Prowling the streets of New York on his legendary Schwinn bicycle, photographer Bill Cunningham of the New York Times has been documenting fashion for decades. The film shows us his work and life as well as the impression his art has left on people he photographed during the years. People like Tom Wolfe and Brooke Astor, true legends of the New York fashion world, share their memories of Cunningham — how they looked forward being photographed by him and dreaded being ignored by his camera.
