Washington - Bill Cunningham, legendary photographer and portraitist fashion Manhattan (USA) for four decades, has died at 87 years old, on Saturday confirmed the newspaper "The New York Times", where he published his works.
Cunningham had been hospitalized for a week after suffering a cardiac arrest.
His photographic column New York fashion, captured on the streets of Manhattan, was published in the Sunday edition of the newspaper style since 1978 and quickly became one of the most sought after by readers.
Cunningham identified every week the city of fashion trends and your pictures are centered especially in fancy characters and a few discreet.
Singular: with his bike, Bill Cunningham ran the NY city behind new trends in photo June 27, 2015.
Once, the director of Vogue, Wintour Anne, said that "all we dress for Bill."
Paradoxically, Cunningham was known for his humility and austerity.
I lived in a small apartment full of negatives of his work, and always had breakfast in the same cafeteria beneath his house.
"Money is the cheapest there is. The most expensive is freedom," he used to say.
Cunningham was born in 1929 in Boston, within a family of Irish origin, and before the "New York Times" worked for the "Chicago Tribune" and the "Daily News".
