00:00I've said many times that we all get dressed for Bill.

00:03Okay, this is Bill Cunningham on the street this week.

00:06There's no reason to be doom and gloom

00:08and think that fashion is finished.

00:10The best fashion show is definitely on the street.

00:13Always has been and always will be.

00:15We're all blank canvases when we get up in the morning

00:17and we paint ourselves.

00:19Street style emerged at the same point

00:21that Bill got a camera.

00:23He's been documenting me since I was a kid

00:26and it's one snap, two snaps,

00:27or he ignores you, which is death.

00:30Bill's fingerprints are all over everything he does

00:32because he's never, ever, ever sold out one inch of anything.

00:36Put her here and put her over here.

00:38Put it on. Stop your antics.

00:39Put it up there.

00:43Damn you, kids.

00:45I have the feeling that he doesn't sit down

00:47and talk to people too much.

00:49I have no idea about his private life.

00:50I have no idea if he's lonely.

00:52I once went to his studio. Have you been there?

00:54This is my clothes closet.

00:56Does he still sleep on the cabinets?

00:57Who the hell wants a kitchen and a bathroom?

00:59See, if you don't take money, they can't tell you what to do.

01:02That's the key to the whole thing.

01:05New York society becomes harder and harder to define.

01:09Bill is a true egalitarian.

01:10However, that doesn't mean he isn't aware

01:13of cultural vision and hierarchies.

01:15He just treats it all the same.

01:17I'm not interested in celebrities with their free dresses.

01:21I'm interested in clothes.

01:22I would come into a place and he would say,

01:24Oh, thank God you're here.

01:25Everybody here looks so boring.

01:27If we all went out looking like slobs like me,

01:30it would be a pretty dreary world.

01:33The wider world that perceives fashion as a frivolity

01:36that should be done away with,

01:38the point is that fashion is the armor

01:41to survive the reality of everyday life.

01:44I don't think you could do away with it.

01:45It would be like doing away with civilization.

01:47That's what I think.

01:55I'll be your mirror.

01:59I'll be your mirror.
