Bill Cunningham, that dear, charming, mysterious iconoclast, went and secretly wrote a memoir. It was found posthumously by his family and will be released September 2018. Above, a clip from his "On The Street" series for NYT, 4/20/15. SO good to hear that voice! Anytime I hear the word marvelous, it's with his warm, jovial, crackly annunciation. "Oh, isn't that just MAH-va-lous?! I thought you'd like to know." Seeing his documentary in 2013 was a personal game-changer. It changed what it means to be interested in fashion. He captured it all: International fashion weeks, the galas, fundraisers, and most importantly, the everyday looks on the street, recognizing the high and the low, yet treating it all with the same level of care and attention. All while riding his bike in his standard uniform look.  Bill in 2013 by Dmitry Gudkov. He's considered the godfather of Street Style, named a NY Living Legend. and was awarded by the French Ministry of Culture. Yet, most would be surprised by his enormous humility and austere lifestyle. An individual of incredible integrity, that one. If you haven't seen Bill Cunningham New York yet, it is highly recommended. Mark your calendar for a September release date of "Fashion Climbing."

The marriage of the high impact graphic feels fresh, while the old-fashioned medium is a great pairing for sustainability. Garment-making by it's nature, leaves the maker with perfectly good fabric, just in a strange assorted sizes. Quilting is a beautiful way to absorb them back into the supply chain.
