BILL CUNNINGHAM: ON THE STREET

VESTED

VIDEO BELOW: PLAY WHILE READING

"HELLO, THIS IS BILL CUNNINGHAM, ON THE STREET IN NEW YORK...AND IT'S A VERY EXCITING TIME OF YEAR WHEN AUTUMN REALLY HITS....AND IN THE FASHION WORLD, THE SWEEPING STATEMENT BY MANY WOMEN WAS THE SLEEVELESS VEST, OR SWEATER, OR FUR OR SOMETHING THAT IS TRANSITIONAL, OR TAKES THEM OUT OF THE WARMER WEATHER BUT ISN'T INTO WINTER COATS YET..AND IT LOOKED LIKE A GREAT IDEA BECAUSE IN THE MORNING WHEN YOU GO TO BUSINESS, IT'S QUITE COOL. BUT BY THE TIME THE SAME WOMEN GO OUT TO LUNCH, IT'S WARMED UP, YOU SEE...SO IT HAS THE SPIRIT OF NEW YORK AT THIS TIME, THE WEATHER, THE CHANGE, DOING DIFFERENT THINGS, DRESSING DIFFERENTLY...AND IT'S SOMETHING THE WOMEN HAVE SOLVED THEMSELVES."

THAT'S THE FASCINATION OF THIS...IT'S NOTHING REALLY THAT COMES FROM A FASHION HOUSE, AND TO ME THAT IS VERY...VERY MODERN..

...I THINK ITS SIMPLY MARVELOUS, YOU KNOW, TO SEE IT..

WELL, I HOPE YOU ENJOY IT, AND AS THE FASHION WORLD DESIGNERS 15 YEARS AGO SAID,

"DO YOUR OWN THING.."

ART OF THE TRENCH

AUTUMN IN REGENT STREET, LONDON, OCTOBER 2009

HAPPY AUTUMN!

I JUST LOVE LIVING IN A PLACE THAT GIVES US ALL SEASONS OF THE YEAR. I DO ENVY THE TROPICS (boy do I envy the tropics), BUT OH THE FOUR SEASONS...DON'T WE LOVE THEM?

BURBERRY

BURBERRY JUST CAME OUT WITH A PRETTY, CLEVER, AND PRETTY CLEVER CAMPAIGN CALLED "THE ART OF THE TRENCH" . ITS A COMPILATION OF STREET PHOTOS TAKEN BY THE AMAZING SCOTT SCHUMAN (aka the sartorialist)...PHOTOS OF BURBERRY TRENCHES SPORTING THEIR PEOPLE.

THE CAMPAIGN IS A BIT YOUNG, BUT YOU CAN SEE THE GREATNESS COMING AT YOU FROM A MILE AWAY ESPECIALLY WHEN THE PHOTOGRAPHER REPERTOIRE BUILDS UP.

PERSONALLY, I LIKED BURBERRY, BUT NEVER LOVED IT. I ALWAYS SAW IT AS A BRAND THAT SCREAMED ITS OWN NAME.

BUT THAT HAS CHANGED

CHEERIODARLINGS!
