Peacocks And Pinstripes
Held at The Fashion and Textile Museum and developed in collaboration with the Getty Images Gallery, the Peacocks and Pinstripes Exhibition focuses on the often neglected world of men’s fashion. It includes an impressive series of iconic images portraying the styles and trends of the past 70 years, displaying the changing representation of the male image in fashion and photography, and the role of celebrity in fashion.
From the tailored 1930s elegance of the Duke of Windsor, to the 1960s impudence of the Rolling Stones, the sleek glamour of Roger Moore’s James Bond to the casual informality of Richard Gere and David Beckham, many of the sartorial legends of the past century are represented in an eclectic mix of photographs, each capturing the mood of its particular era.
In the contemporary element of the exhibition, the photographs represent a new era of cutting edge work, with many of the photographers just beginning to establish their careers.
Peacocks and Pinstripes will run from 8th February to 31st May 2008 at the Fashion and Textile Museum, 83 Bermondsey Street London SE1 3XF.
