Exhibition: Foale and Tuffin - Made in England.

"From October 2009 London's Fashion and Textile Museum is staging a retrospective exhibition of Foale and Tuffin - two influential designers who were at the heart of the cultural explosion in London in the Sixties.

The Foale and Tuffin label was what cool girls wore - colourful, pop-inspired mini-dresses and trend-setting trouser suits were just some of the key pieces that were ahead of their time in developing popular, desirable fashion.

Foale and Tuffin - Made in England will present a vibrant and inspiring representation of two key British fashion designers of the 1960s and the part they played in creating the changing London scene. It will revisit the Sixties vibe by recreating their boutique, showroom and design studio and chart the very personal story of two women who set up on their own with just a lot of courage and £200 in their pockets!

Exhibition runs from Friday 23rd October until 24th February 2010."


This exhibition coincides withe release of the book 'Foale & Tuffin: The Sixties. A Decade in Fashion'.

New book: Serge Gainsbourg by Tony Frank.

Press release, translated from French:
"In 1968, the record label Philips hired Tony Frank to make portraits for a record sleeve. Five pictures are finally selected in this series. Serge Gainsbourg would later say that these portraits are among his favorites. This moment marks the beginning of a long collaboration, a relationship of trust and friendship."

"Tony regularly photographed Serge at his home on Rue de Verneuil, in the studio, with his family and live in concert. He notably created the famous photograph on the cover of Serge's legendary LP 'Histoire de Melody Nelson'."


"All the talent of Tony Frank is revealed in this book, resembling an album of family photos. It uncovers warm and touching portraits of Serge Gainsbourg and his family (Jane Birkin, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Bamboo, Lulu ...) largely unpublished, revealing the human side, sometimes fragile but always engaging of an outside artist the ordinary."

"In the prestigious setting of the Brussels Centre for Fine Arts, the exhibition will put the spotlight on four authors who, thanks to their graphical and narrative daring, have marked the development of the comic strip by moving it beyond the domain of children.
In the midst of the 1960s, these four artists drew inspiration from painting (in particular Pop Art), cartoons (Yellow Submarine, etc), the cinema, music (rock, but also the French “yéyé”), literature and photography. So it is the portrait of an era marked by rapid changes seen through the eyes of these four major artists."
