in 1948, the legendary Paris Theater, the longest-running arthouse cinema in New York City, opened its doors.

Bill Cunningham photographed this model in front of the theater for his 1978 "Facades" project. "Facades" featured photographs of women (mainly Cunningham's collaborator Editta Sherman) in period clothing from the same era of the buildings they posed in front of. Here, the clothing is Dior's New Look, which had debuted in 1947.
