Bill Cunningham New York

0 comments Posted by pece at 6:17 AM

Bill Cunningham-man-on-the street for the Sunday Times now has a new movie out on his shenanigans shooting the fashionistas of the world. "I eat with my eyes," says Bill. Anna Wintour says the fashion world gets dressed in the morning for Bill.

I was thrilled to catch Bill in action at the Paris shows...

Of course there were many other shooters out there - bloggeurs?

Inside I got to stand with the BIG BOYS - the Pros on the podium. It's very crowded and a lot of messy hair that gets in your viewfinder, but there's a great comraderie that makes it tremendous fun.

The Big Boys run to shoot a blond celeb - no way I can get in there edgewise. *Note celeb's old-fashioned Chanel bag with chain -it's back in fashion PB readers - dust yours off svp. ELLE says so.

Trying desperately to grab a shot...

But much better than grabbing your numbered seat in the bleachers.

The Wall Street Journal has the whole scoop...

You Are Where You Sit at the Shows

Blogger Parisienne Anne of MesVitrinesNYC covers Paris fashion windows meticulously and with wit.

Peter'sParis captures perfectly Paris monuments of all kinds.

D'arcy of Chicsetera shoots tea here - not a problem...

Me, I shoot backs - also not a problem, like this Printemps esculator rider...

Or dans la rue...

A cobalt blue short skirt caught on rue Saint Honore...

A cobalt blue collar, worn by famous Colette dog belonging to FAB rue Saint Honore boutique.

Colette dog shot inside Colette with matching blue chairs - I was given permission...

Bear gets a smackdown when he attempts to shoot anything else inside Colette though...

In Colette's stunning blue loo Bear gets away with murder :)

Bear has decided he's an eater, not a fashionista shooter.

He will let Bill be the man-in-the-street and stick to what he does best - shooting macarons and pastry shops etc.

BONJOUR BILL CUNNINGHAM!!!

Bleu is BIG for Spring 2010

Galignani

Do you stop at Librairie Galignani when you're in Paris?

It's the place to find the latest books on art and fashion..

Right now the windows are full of YSL...

Yves Saint Laurent's first major retrospective opens tomorrow at the Petit Palais. I got my ticket at FNAC for Friday morning. Yay

Inside Galignani the fashionistas are browsing, since the shows are still on...

I spot Bill Cunningham from the NYTimes again...

They always have a slew of books on Coco. Remember when I wrote about The Gospel According to Chanel? Wouldn't it be swell to have your book in a chic shop in Paris?

More YSL mostly in French...

A plethora of fashion books...

No wonder Bill is here...

This book caught my eye, My Mother's Clothes by photographer Jeanette Montgomery Barron...

A lovely memoir/scrapbook of her late mother's various stylish outfits and the stories they recall. Poignant.

A key thing to remember about Librairie Galignani is...

It's exactly nextdoor to Angelina at 224 rue de Rivoli.

So easy to pop in for a chocolat chaud post-browsing non?

BON APPETITE!

Sonia Rykiel F/W10

Dessert first!

I made it to Sonia Rykiel's show!

Yay

But to get there - a lot of waiting in the frigid cold. Paris cold is like no other. It says 21 degrees/feels like 18. It should say feels like minus 18. The Seine wind chill blows right through you.

The fashionistas couldn't give a %$#@

Bonjour
Bonjour

Style reporter man-on-the street and all-in-blue, Bill Cunningham from the Sunday Times is dressed appropriately.

We both scurry to grab a pic of barely dressed all-in-blue Lilly Allen

Inside I squeeze onto the Photog's podium. I have no actual ticket or seat # but I'd rather stand here than sit in the gigantic stadium of the Halle Freyssinet...
