Last night a select group of people were invited to the W Hotel in Chicago for a screening of the documentary Bill Cunningham New York with a special Q&A with director Richard Press and producer Philip Gefter. As a street style photographer it was a doubly exciting to get a chance to see the film in the luxurious lounge enviroment of the W and hear the film makers discuss their work, Bill Cunningham, and New York style.
