“This book is so inspiring, not only for the incredible fashion and images that Bill captured, but also for celebrating his decades-long commitment to the genre of street style.”— Scott Schuman, The Sartorialist

Published by the New York Times, di a photo collection published in the style of street photography, which collects the works of street photography masters that have not been published in 50 years.
Bill Cunningham used street photography to capture and record the evolution of style, trends and daily life in New York City and Paris. But his works also show that street photography is not only about fashion, but also about people and the changing culture of the times. From the 1970s to the death of bill Cunningham in 2016, many people have not seen these photos for decades, and some of them have been published in the New York Times or elsewhere. Here you will find Cunninghams unique record.
Following bill Cunninghams camera, we will review the transportation strike in the 1980s, the rise of social fashion of "leisure Friday" in the 1990s, the sadness after the September 11 incident, the inauguration of the U.S. president in 2009, the rise of selfie and many other important historical moments.
The first published collection of photographs by the icon of street style, bringing together favorites published in The New York Times alongside never-before-seen work across five decades
"A dazzling kaleidoscope from the gaze of an artist who saw beauty at every turn."-- André Leon Talley
Bill Cunninghams photography captured the evolution of style, of trends, and of the everyday, both in New York City and in Paris. But his work also shows that street style is not only about fashion; its about the people and the changing culture. These photographs--many never before seen, others having originally appeared in The New York Times and elsewhere--move from decade to decade, beginning in the 1970s and continuing until Cunninghams death in 2016. Here youll find Cunninghams distinctive chronicling of the 1980s transit strike, the rise of 1990s casual Fridays, the sadness that fell over the city following 9/11, Inauguration Day 2009, the onset of selfies, and many other significant moments. This enduring portfolio is enriched by essays that provide a revealing portrait of Cunningham and a few of his many fascinations and influences, contributed by Cathy Horyn, Tiina Loite, Vanessa Friedman, Ruth La Ferla, Guy Tr, Penelope Green, Jacob Bernstein, and a much favored subject,Anna Wintour. More than anything, On the Street is a timeless representation of Cunninghams commitment to capturing the here and now.
