No, we’re not talking about the overbearing talk show host. We’re talking about the New York-based photographer who’s been making New York Fashion Week even cooler these days.
As most people stroll around the star-studded fashion events looking for their favorite celebrities, Cunningham rightfully steals the spotlight.
Perhaps the most interesting thing about Bill Cunningham is the effort he puts into capturing the perfect money shot at each and every event he attends.
Now, of course, we never expected the Big Apple’s legend to lose his touch, but you have to admit, the fact that 85-year-old Cunningham is still using the city as his visual playground is quite impressive.
Oh, and we can’t forget about his iconic blue coat. Kudos to his dry-cleaner.
Fun Fact: Bill Cunningham dropped out of Harvard University back in 1948. Good thing, because had he stayed on that route, the world may never have seen such glorious fashion photos.
Check out some of the photos below featuring Bill Cunningham shutting down NYFW!
Meet Bill Cunningham, the godfather of street style photography and the most interesting person at New York Fashion Week.
If any part of NYFW is Snapchat-worthy, it’s Bill Cunningham’s presence.
It’s not a fashion show if Bill isn’t there to capture it!
A legend at work — blue coat and all!
Other fashion photographers still have a lot to learn!
