Bill Cunningham is the subject of the wonderful documentary of his life, named Bill Cunningham, New York.
He is a street fashion photographer since he stopped making hats when he was drafted to go to war in Korea. His hats were good. His love of fashion is the love of his life, and he spent his 80 years immersing himself in the images of what women wear.
It's a fascinating story.
He lives his life in a monastic way, tiny studio at the Carnegie Hall (until very recently) without family, or a kitchen or a closet. He wears the same clothes all his life, by the way.
The film ends with this simple touching statement by him:
He who seeks beauty shall find it.
