In the evening, he put on his shirt and suit, put on the fluorescent yellow and orange striped vest worn by road builders, rode his broken bike through the city and filmed the banquet of the upper class. His column "On the Street" in The New York Times began at 1978, which is a ukiyo-e painting of new york City and records the entire visual history of new york in recent decades. Because of this, he also has another title-"fashion historian". With decades of accumulated insight into fashion trends, Bill has won the highest respect in the fashion circle. The French Ministry of Culture once awarded him the Knight of Arts and Literature, and all the fashion shows sent him invitations early. Podolfo Goodman, a senior department store in new york, once decorated the window with his works as the theme to pay tribute to him. Anna wintour, editor-in-chief of American Vogue and "Devil Prada", once said at a commendation ceremony: "We dressed up and came here for Cunningham." This sentence is enough to illustrate the significance of Bill in the fashion world.
