Styling the Eighties: Simon Foxton
Tuesday 1st October 2024 - Monday 2 December 2024
Two complementary ‘Styling the Eighties’ exhibitions look at the work of two stylists who made their name in the 1980s - Ray Petri and Simon Foxton - and whose collaborative work with photographers, and models was featured in the lifestyle magazines The Face and i-D. Their images addressed issues around gender, race /ethnicity, class, sexuality and contemporary style so it is fitting that we launch these new exhibitions to celebrate the start of Black History Month. The exhibitions include original magazines with photo shoots styled by Petri and Foxton and academic texts that have addressed and investigating the work of both these stylists offering a way of looking at their work in both primary and secondary sources.
