The New-York Historical Society is showcasing Bill Cunningham's "Facades" collection, featuring 91 photographs taken between 1968 and 1976. This series presents models in period costumes posed against historic New York City landmarks, highlighting the city's architectural heritage and fashion history. The exhibition offers a unique perspective on New York's evolving landscape during that era.
Cunningham, renowned for his street fashion photography, embarked on this project by collecting vintage clothing and selecting locations that matched the era of the attire. The resulting images juxtapose fashion with architecture, providing insight into the cultural and historical context of the time.
The exhibition is open to the public at the New-York Historical Society, offering visitors an opportunity to explore Cunningham's artistic vision and the rich history of New York City.
