The National Portrait Gallery collaborated with British Vogue and showcased Vogue 100: A Century of Style. The exhibition had a range of photography that has been commissioned by British Vogue over the years. It was really interesting to see all the different styles that Vogue has experimented with, there was photography from 1916 when Vogue was founded and recent shoots that took place last year. My favourite part of the exhibition was looking at all the different magazine covers and the layouts inside.
They started off heavily illustrated and minimalistic but now, Vogue is known for its strong photography and structured layout. I would like to see more illustrative content within the current British Vogue, it makes it look more artistic and it would also stand out from the other contemporary fashion magazines. Also, the amount of advertisements have increased heavily, taking away the personal elements of the magazine. Above are a few images that I took whilst looking around the museum. I love the first image, it's so elegant and sensual. I love how the rose has been sculptured into the shape of a hat and the use of lighting is really effective, it acts as a silhouette. The second image shows recent images that have been featured in the magazine. The bottom left is my favourite because Vivienne Westwood is one of my favourite fashionistas! Her courage with fashion is admirable. Kate Moss was featured in almost every room of the exhibition. It was clear to see that she was a covergirl for Vogue and one of the most used models, this is because she is so versatile.
