LFW: Vanity Fair Portraits

For this London Fashion Week the National Portrait Gallery presents Vanity Fair Portraits: Photographs 1913-2008. The VIP launch was sponsored by Burberry and attracted a star-studded crowd including Naomi Campbell, Emma Watson and Lilly Allen.

The exhibition explores Vanity Fair’s celebrity images from the magazine’s first incarnation from 1913-1936 and from 1983 until today. Un-exhibited images are on display, curated by David Friend, Vanity Fair’s Editor of Creative Development and Terrence Pepper, NPG's Curator of Photographs.

Vanity Fair Portrait runs from 14 February and 26 May 2008 at the National Portrait Gallery, followed by tour visiting Scottish National Portrait Gallery, Edinburgh, later this year; LACMA, Los Angeles, USA; and National Portrait Gallery, Canberra, Australia.
