Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • 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 Cunningham’s 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; it’s 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 Cunningham’s death in 2016. Here you’ll find Cunningham’s 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 Trebay, Penelope Green, Jacob Bernstein, and a much favored subject, Anna Wintour. More than anything, On the Street is a timeless representation of Cunningham’s commitment to capturing the here and now. “An absolute delight.”— People Read more

Bought this for a gift. Lost it in my office. Hopefully I find it soon.
I bought this as a Christmas gift last year but couldn't find it once I started wrapping gifts. Decided it would be a great birthday gift. Still couldn't find it so I had to buy something else for a birthday gift. As February rolled around I thing how great it was I already had a Valentine's Day gift to give. Alas, I still couldn't find the book. I hoping I find the book soon so I can give it as an anniversary gift. If not it will make a great Christmas gift this year.

Gorgeous wonderful book!
I love this book. I liked looking at five decades of fashion. I could remember all those looks. I remember reading about the people. It was just pure fun to look back. I first got this book from the library. I loved it so much that I had to own it. I highly recommend it to any person who lived through the era or any person curious about the era or the fabulous Bill Cunningham.

Splendid!
Fascinating archive of the photojournalism and artistry of Bill Cunningham, roving reporter of fashion and style on the street for the New York Times. This is not "just a picture book" for the coffee table, although it fills that position quite well. Plenty of commentary and context accompany this retrospective chronicle of 40 years of style.
