Anna Wintour once said, “We all dress up for Bill” and that’s absolutely true.

Different from what people often see on catwalks, Bill Cunningham chose to capture fashion moments on the streets.

His first set of photos was published in The New York Times magazine in 1978, capturing the everyday moments of New Yorkers on central streets.

And to commemorate his incredible life, let’s take a look back at Bill’s best quotes about fashion style.

In the work:

“I don’t care about celebrities with their outfits, look at the clothes, the cuts, the colors and the designs.

In street clothes:

“The best fashion shows are definitely on the streets.

“I don’t decide anything.

“I could never concentrate on Sundays at church because I would always be attracted to the ladies’ hats.”

“The most important thing that makes me love street photography is that you can find answers that you can never find at fashion shows.

During his career:

“It’s not work, it’s fun.

“The problem is I’m not a good photographer.

“I go out every day.

During fashion week:

“You are invited to see the work of artists, great artists.

“All those who tell the truth sit in the last row.”
