An exhibition celebrating the iconic fashion images and portraits from The Face, a youth culture and style magazine that shaped the creative and cultural landscape in Britain for nearly five years between 1980 and 2004. A magazine that played a key role in shaping contemporary culture: the musicians, celebrities and models featured on its covers achieved global success and became the most recognisable faces of their time such as Kate Moss. The Face also launched the careers of many leading fashion photographers and designers, who were given the creative freedom to radically reimagine the visual language of fashion photography and define the zeitgeist of their times. Bringing together the work of over 80 photographers, including Sheila Rock, Stéphane Sednaoui, Corinne Day, David Sims, Elaine Constantine and Sølve Sundsbø, this exhibition will feature over 200 photographs, providing a unique opportunity to see many of these images together.
