inspiration: Bill Cunningham

Part of our weekly Saturday morning ritual includes logging onto the New York Times website to watch Bill Cunningham's weekly On The Street video post.


Mr. Cunningham is a New York institution, a fashion journalist who documents fashion trends and photographs society events for the Times. He's also a genuinely nice guy. Todd and Tsia seem to run into him on a regular basis and always have pleasant conversations with him. He rides around the city on his bicycle, photographing anyone who catches his eye. He's got the best job ever, I think.

He also has a great eye for details and the way people put together their outfits.

Mr. Cunningham documents trends as he sees them. It's fun to see fashion through his eyes, and I'm often inspired by the people who show up on his weekly posts.
