Sunday Morning Fashionista Revue

Last night (thanks to neighbors Patty and Nick), we watched this documentary. 83-year-old fashion photographer Bill Cunningham rides a bike all over Manhattan and sometimes runs like a kid when stalking camera subjects. “We all get dressed for Bill”, says Vogue editor Anna Wintour (Wikipedia). He has a joy in life and is irresistibly good-humored. Toward the end of the movie he says: “He who seeks beauty shall find it.”

Which reminded me of a unique fashion photographer, Scott Schuman, who documents homemade fashion all over the world:
