In a post at Creative Review’s blog, Satara Achille highlights an exhibition of fashion images with an uncommon curatorial bent: the show celebrates the stylist rather than the photographer. “When You’re a Boy: Men’s Fashion Styled by Simon Foxton,” at the Photographers’ Gallery in London, surveys the work of this noted British stylist, who got his start styling for i-D in the ’80s and went on to establish his own design label and work as a consultant to various fashion brands.
“As Brett Rogers of the Photographers’ Gallery says in her intro to the accompanying catalogue, ‘Though acknowledged as trendsetters and visionaries within the fashion world, the creative contribution of stylists to the construction of the fashion image goes largely unrecognised,’” writes Achille. “She contends that stylists, far from being ephemeral figures, have effectively ‘co-authored some of the most iconic fashion images of our time,’ hence the show.”
“When You’re a Boy: Men’s Fashion Styled by Simon Foxton” is on view at the Photographers’ Gallery through October 4.
