No matter what my Saturday is like, I can always count on Bill Cunningham to perk things up. A fashion writer for The New York Times, Cunningham produces a short video each week, "On the Street," that features ordinary and stylish New Yorkers. Sometimes he follows them to places like The Hamptons or Newport, but usually he finds them on the streets of the city.
This week's episode--"Views"--which you can find on the Fashion and Style page, captured guests at the New York Fashion Week in a mixture of subdued style and outrageous fun. Earlier this summer "Color on Wheels" featured cyclists and skaters and anyone on wheels on a Sunday afternoon along Park Avenue.
That Cunningham loves people and loves watching people is evident in every clip. He's not at all critical or snooty, and his seemingly simple commentary makes fashion accessible for even the most unfashionable among us. I love his gentle sense of humor and his opening music that hums.
Feeling like your weekend isn't what you'd hoped? Google Bill Cunningham and watch his latest "On the Street."
