Bill Cunningham: New York

I bought this DVD a while back on the recommendation of a guest speaker who came into uni and held a lecture one day.

This feature is based around fashion and social identity, which is perfect to emphasise the point around clothing and stature that comes along in the golf scene.


Bill Cunningham is an 80 odd year old New York photographer who gets around the streets of New York on his bicycle. His sole aim is to find and photograph people who stand out in the fashion stakes, and he comes across some very 'out there' people!

I know golf sometimes throws up the weird and wonderful in terms of clothing and outfits, maybe more on major tournaments rather than my local golf club but the clothing is still something to behold.
