[Paul Jones]

Hi All

In Manchester today I called in to see the free exhibition of photography at the Manchester Art Gallery.

FREE

Vogue 100: A Century of Style showcases the remarkable range of photography that has been commissioned by British Vogue since it was founded in 1916, with over 280 prints from the Condé Nast archive and international collections being brought together for the first time to tell the story of one of the most influential fashion magazines in the world.

The exhibition brings together vintage prints from the early twentieth century, ground-breaking photographs from renowned fashion shoots, unpublished work and original magazines. Images by leading twentieth-century photographers, including Cecil Beaton, Lee Miller, Irving Penn and Snowdon will feature alongside more recent work by David Bailey, Corinne Day, Patrick Demarchelier, Nick Knight, Herb Ritts and Mario Testino.

Well worth a visit for anyone who's into fashion / portraiture.

Thanks Paul, I have been a couple of times. It's certainly a full historical exhibition. Good to see work from the famous names whose work has been central to Vogues success. I caught the busway there which stopped nearby on York Street.
