MY LATEST CURATED PROJECT FOR NATIONAL PORTRAIT GALLERY.
#VOGUE100 EXHIBITION
PATRICIA NICOLAS X NATIONAL PORTRAIT GALLERY. 
VOGUE 100: A CENTURY OF STYLE.


THE PROJECT 
Who, What, Where, When, Why, How?

It's fashion season, yet again! An exciting time of the year was made even more interesting as I had
 the lovely opportunity to design for the Vogue100 exhibition, at the National Portrait Gallery in
 London. I was asked to select two covers and develop collections based on each of the covers by
 Vogue. The end product was a 7 piece lip collection, based on a 1960's cover. Can't you imagine
 Eddie Sedgwick wearing the drop earrings? I can, very fabulous, very Kylie Jenner lips a la 60's!

 The seven pieces includes necklaces, ring, studs, drop earrings and a bracelet.








THE INSPIRATION AND DESIGN 

This is one of the two covers I considered, but did not opt for, as the NPG felt that the lip
 collection was really rocking. It's always such fun to work with Vogue, and 
especially to celebrate their 100 years. You'd never know by its cover that it's
 100 years, I guess botox really does work... 




THE LAUNCH PARTY

This was the launch of the exhibition, there we're tons of celebrities and press personalities.
 It's so humbling to have such great talents interested in my pieces, thanks guys! :)

I am so happy and honored to get to work on this project, 
I truly think the National Portrait Gallery is one of the best museums in the world, 
and the project has truly been a pleasure!

Vogue cover, January 1995Vogue cover, December 1994Vogue cover, September 1994Vogue cover, November 1993So much of modern fashion despises the wearer. Caught up in an endless search for newness, it retreats into itself, replacing creativity with pretentiousness, artistry with attitude

Not one of these pictures bear the slightest relation to style. They have no intrinsic value as fashion photography, they offer no useful service to the viewer. Pictured, Claudia Schiffer in Paris by Herb Ritts, 1989


The exhibition #Vogue100  
is at the National Portrait Gallery, WC2,
 from February 11 to May 22-2016.
