On the Street With Bill Cunningham

His cornflower blue jacket was to blame. Paired with his pastel plaid shirt, crisp khakis and over-the-shoulder murse (not visible but it's there) the blazer was a style beacon. While he was too focused on snapping the passing parade to comment when asked which biker look worked best ("Oh, I'm too busy to think about that," he told me), I had to give props to the snazzy septuagenarian and turn the camera on him. Pedal-pushers never made it into Sunday Styles (did anyone see them?), which means we need to pedal harder.
