I went to see Bill Cunningham New York at the Film Forum last night. The Documentary is an incredible portrait of the one of a kind street fashion photographer, Bill Cunningham.

His demeanor is kind and gentle and his genuine interest in people and… View Post

I read about Imani on The Compassion Fashion Project.
