Pressestimmen
“The glamorous world of 20th-century fashion comes alive in Cunningham’s masterful memoir both because of his exuberant appreciation for stylish clothes and his sharp assessment of those who wore them.” —Publishers Weekly, Boxed, Starred Review “Cunningham's writing is authentic, irreverent, and quintessentially New York . . . A lively tale of a life in style and a delightful homage to the days before women stopped wearing hats.” —Kirkus Reviews “Cunningham’s almost unbearably charming memoir—unearthed by relatives after his death, in 2016, and covering his life through the 1960s—sends readers winging through the twentieth century in style….[It]documents his unparalleled eye and appreciation for fashion’s magic, mystery, and illusions; style’s potential to invent and transform. As both the very personal autobiography of an icon and a valuable social history, this wins.” — Booklist, starred review“Bill Cunningham’s enchanting memoir of his love affair with fashion and the people who created, shaped, analysed, and wore it in the combustible years after the Second World War is a delight and a revelation, proving that his pen was as astute as his lens. This lively, compelling, and invaluable social history tells us as much about the mores of the age as it does about the era’s seismic fashion revolutions and reflects the wonder that Bill saw in creation throughout his life.” —Hamish Bowles“We missed Bill Cunningham terribly. So thank goodness for this book. Here comes a snap, crackle and pop of a memoir. Humble, sparse and vivacious. Funny! Forthright and elegant. Bill is back and we are grateful.” —Maira Kalman“As Mr. Cunningham might have said, ‘a real dilly’ of a book—the story of a man who turned a love of beauty into an exquisite life.” —Lauren Collins“Fashion Climbing has everything you’d want in a fashion memoir (industry politics, elaborate window displays, hijinks at galas), but it’s also a manifesto for living authentically. Just like Bill Cunningham’s photography, this book is anti-snobbery, pro-having-fun-at-all-costs, and awake to the pleasures of being oneself.” —Tavi Gevinson
Über den Autor und weitere Mitwirkende
Bill Cunningham, the iconic New York Times photographer, was the creative force behind the columns On the Street and Evening Hours. Cunningham dropped out of Harvard and moved to New York City at 19, eventually starting his own hat design business under the name "William J." His designs were featured in Vogue, The New Yorker, Harper's Bazaar, and Jet. While covering fashion for publications including Women's Wear Daily and The Chicago Tribune, he took up photography, which led to him becoming a regular contributor to the New York Times in the late 1970s. Cunningham was the subject of the documentary "Bill Cunningham, New York." His contributions to New York City were recognized in 2009 when he was designated a "living landmark."

Most of us know Bill Cunningham (yes, THAT one; with the camera, the bike, and the denim jacket) from his street-savvy photography and his New York State of Mind notoriety. But, lucky for us, when he died Bill left this memoir in one of the drawers of his many file cabinets. And as he would say, this book is a lulu. I keep turning over rocks trying to find out if he intended this book to be published. I mean -- One assumes that Bill Cunningham would only have to make one phone call to have a juicy book deal. And yet this typed manuscript languished in a drawer; only to be discovered after he passed. So - draw your own conclusions.It's a slim volume full of goodness. It is written in a breezy personal "oh, WAIT for the punchline" style, punctuated by Bill-isms like "It's a dilly!". Best of all, it gives us a deep dive into his earliest days; revealing a lifelong Creative who got anything-but a standing ovation at home. He needed to get out into the world in order to find his tribe; and all that ignited in Manhattan circa 1948 and onward. While we learn about Bill's earliest days in retail, the story quickly transitions into his career as a milliner. A hat guy. His moniker, William J, was a non de plume for a young man whose family would have been scandalized to learn what he was actually doing. But Bill always amassed his own custom-ordered cheering section; whether they were fresh young things who became fabulous mannikins for his creations, and protective grand dames who bought his hats and then brought their friends. The irrepressible "hey kids, let's give a show!" vibe prevails -- I lost track of how many times he moved and moved and moved his studio/storefront -- but each time he managed to create beauty in the midst of creepy/moldy low-rent brownstones, and his career was defined by both epic feasts and dire famines. Decrepit walls were covered -- voila! -- with brocade drapes found in a dumpster and ostrich feathers. (no, really...…) He was famous for carting around his own bed, because he always "lived above the store". Any money he had was always put right back into the business, and lean times found him eating hot dogs at Nedick's. He was a total misfit for the world of retail and manufacturing -- but was a whiz atOne Of A Kind. When the Sixties arrived he realized that hats were going to be a non-issue; so he pivoted to writing for Women's Wear Daily and seemingly taught himself photography. Like Zelig, he seemed to be everywhere before it became Somewhere. He had a storefront in the Hamptons before it was considered anywhere special. When uptown was hip, he was in The Village -- and when downtown was "the place" he was up on Museum Row. He loved theatricality and occasions. The book has a generous handful of his personal scrapbook snapshots, and we see a wide-eyed grinning Bill having Quite The Time.Bill arrived in New York City about 19 years before I did - and I thoroughly loved reading his recollections of Living Large On A Shoestring. Like me, he considered the place to be his personal Shangri La -- a glittering metropolis that could still be decorated on a dimestore budget. He snuck into operas, fashion shows, ateliers, invitation-only galas, and ballrooms. He commented it felt "peculiar" to walk in the FRONT entrance of the Waldorf since he had been sneaking in through the Laundry Door all those years. (smile) When he was low (and even hungry) he could always re-boot by witnessing beauty. Midnight walks past store windows would restore his spirit and launch new ideas.Rarely do we get to hear such granular details of the great expectations of a creative mind. He muses about how he came to prize his originality, and how he stayed faithful to his own best ideas, whether they paid the rent or not.A wonderful book - an amazing man.
Even before the book was published I had read a brief summary I think in The New York Times and at first was disappointed that the book would not cover up to most recent events in Bill Cunningham's life and the fashion world. But once I read it boy was I glad it didn't because through the very time distance it brings across the past even more intensively.Bill Cunningham's language is a very pleasure to read, and if you have a thing for language, as I do, you'll surely enjoy the sometimes old fashioned words, expressions or idioms he uses. The book is an extraordinary read, I frankly had a hard time to put it aside and as a matter of fact it took me only say three or four days to finish it. What I found most fascinating was how Cunningham described the different eras and what it felt like to live the and there.On a personal side it gives you a very close view into Cunningham's view of the world, how he lived his life, and why he did it the way he did. It complements the picture of him you might have from reading his column in The Times, and from other sources, like news articles and the media.I had the pleasure to run into Bill a few times in New York City - he on his bike on street say a year before he passed, and another time earlier at one of the fashion shows at Lincoln Center. On the latter he was chatting with Isabella Blow when I asked him if I could take a picture - as expected he shook his head and turned the other way.This book is a must for people interested in fashion in general and the wonderful person of Bill Cunningham in particular. Beyond that, it shows you how you can find your own way in life, despite - or even - because of supposed adverse circumstances.I am happy the manuscript was discovered in Bill Cunningham's estate that and his family decided to have it published its a winner for all of us.
I am a huge fan of Bill Cunningham. I started this book with such enthusiasm and the first few chapters were a delight. Indeed, when Bill writes about his youth and his hat-making business, he is totally charming. However, the second part of the book, about going to fashion shows and his views style and taste, seems to belong to an entirely different volume. For students of fashion and fashion shows in the sixties, the second half of the book provides detailed and valuable documentation but, for the rest of us, it’s too much of a good thing. In addition, perhaps it was because I read the Kindle edition, there were not a particularly large number of photographs and I, at least, couldn’t find the captions.
Really enjoyed this memoir for a number of reasons. First, the fashion-conscious generation of women that it describes, who wouldn't be caught dead in the wrong outfit, has now pretty well faded away. That generation and the times they lived in deserve to be showcased alongside other movements or moments that characterize the Twentieth Century and the book does that extremely well, from Cunningham's unique, insider's perspective. Finally, as someone who likes to think of herself as "creative," Cunningham's creative drive, the intensity and fearlessness with which he pursued his goals, is inspiring. So are the little tidbits of advice for anyone seeking his or her own creative path which run through the book.
