Manchester Art Gallery

Vogue 100: A Century of Style

Direct from the National Portrait Gallery in London, Manchester Art Gallery will present Vogue 100: A Century of Style (24 June - 30 October 2016) to celebrate 100 years of cutting-edge fashion and portrait photography by British Vogue. The exhibition will showcase 280 modern and vintage prints from the Condé Nast archive and international collections, brought together to tell the story of the fashion magazine.

The exhibition at Manchester Art Gallery will also include a special library display of 101 Vogue magazines, one per year of the magazine’s history, and two of Josh Olins’ new photographic portraits of HRH The Duchess of Cambridge published in the centenary issue of Vogue.

Vogue 100: A Century of Style will present the remarkable range of photography commissioned by British Vogue since it was founded in 1916. Rarely seen images by many world-class photographers including Cecil Beaton, Lee Miller and Irving Penn will be displayed alongside more recent work by celebrated artists such as David Bailey, Corinne Day, Patrick Demarchelier, Nick Knight, Herb Ritts, Mario Testino, Tim Walker and Jeurgen Teller. The exhibition will also include many of the faces that have shaped the cultural landscape of the last ten decades, from Henri Matisse to Francis Bacon, Lucian Freud and Damien Hirst, Marlene Dietrich to Gwyneth Paltrow, Lady Diana Cooper to Lady Diana Spencer, and Fred Astaire to David Beckham. Also featured in the exhibition will be the fashion designers that defined the look of the century, including Christian Dior, Yves Saint Laurent and Alexander McQueen.

Exhibition is now on until 30 October 2016
