The New York Times and Bergdorf Goodman to Kick off NY Fashion Week with Special Window Displays and In-Store Exhibit of ‘Sunday Styles’ Photography by Bill Cunningham

The New York fashion week is close…

The New York Times and Bergdorf Goodman announced today that they will kick off New York Fashion Week in September with special window displays and an in-store exhibit of Bill Cunningham’s photography from his long-running “On the Street” and “Evening Hours” columns. Both columns appear weekly in the Sunday Styles section of The Times and online at NYTimes.com. The windows will be on view from Sept. 5 – 16, along with an exhibition on the third floor at Bergdorf Goodman, which is located in New York at the corner of Fifth Avenue and 57th Street.

Mr. Cunningham is a familiar face on this very corner, where he can often be spotted snapping away at the city’s most fashionable citizens, capturing within the keen eye of his camera’s lens many of the glamorous personalities and colorful characters that populate his New York Times columns. The Bergdorf Goodman windows and exhibit will offer a unique retrospective of Mr. Cunningham’s work. The images – candid photographs of everyday New Yorkers taken on the street as they sport their fashion know-how, and of equally stylish guests at glittering evening events – have never before been collected and shown in this way.

In addition, Mr. Cunningham will be honored at a private V.I.P. event at Bergdorf Goodman co-hosted by The Times, Bergdorf Goodman and – in tribute to Mr. Cunningham’s preferred, low-emission mode of transportation around the city, his bicycle – the New York City Department of Transportation.
