A mainstay of the “Sunday Styles” section of the New York Times, Bill Cunningham is always taking photographs for his two columns (“Evening Hours” and “On the Street”) that showcase the fashion trends of New York City. Studiously devoted to his work, Bill gets around on a beat-up bike and lives frugally in a studio above Carnegie Hall that is mostly storage space for his extensive archives, which are a time capsule of how we dressed week-by-week. What comes through the film are Bill’s exceptional generosity and good spirits, even as the 80-year-old must adapt to the changing modern world.
