"Beautifully rendered and told, the book brings to life the work of
a gifted 20th-century artist whose creative vision will always be in
vogue." Kirkus Reviews, Starred review
This is a moving and impassioned picture book about the iconic fashion
photographer Bill Cunningham that will inspire young readers to go
discover their own ideas of beauty and embolden the world with their own
creativity!
He found "sheer poetry"
in the drape of an evening dress,
delight
in the swoosh of a knife-pleated skirt,
and sartorial splendor
in Jazz Age garb.
Every day, Bill Cunningham pedaled his bike through New York City
searching for beauty. As he took picture after picture, Bill found
beauty not in people, but in their clothes. Drawn to bold and creative
choices, Bill's photos captured the attention of the New York Times.
He traveled to Paris for Fashion Week, and admiration for his work grew.
With his sense of creativity and daringness, his own personal style of
photography came to be known as street art photography.
His photos left a lasting impression on all those who came across his
work and they continue to inspire creativity today. This is the story of
the legend who created street fashion photography and left behind a
legacy of glorious pictures. Bill Cunningham used his passion and talent
to capture the beauty he saw in fashion and the ultimate freedom that it
represents to each and every person.
This is an inspiring picture book about finding your path and being
creative.
