Less than one month after announcing that the museum will stage the largest exhibition in the UK on the house of Dior in February 2019, the V&A has released details of a second landmark fashion show scheduled for next year.
The Knightsbridge institution will host the third solo exhibition of British fashion photographer Tim Walker, and pay tribute to his contribution to image-making through his wondrous imagination. Collaborators, from the set designers, stylists, make-up artists and models on his first Vogue shoot at the age of 25, to those on the 2018 Pirelli calendar in collaboration with Vogue editor-in-chief Edward Enninful, will also be explored.
“The beautiful and eclectic objects housed in the V&A have influenced Tim since the start of his career,” Susanna Brown, curator of the Tim Walker exhibition at the V&A, told Vogue exclusively. “He has spent months exploring our collection and delving deep into the museum stores to gain inspiration for his new pictures, which will form the heart of the exhibition. It will celebrate the contributions of his many talented collaborators and muses too. This is a project we've been talking about for several years, and it's going to be a spectacular show.”
Though exact details of the works that will go on display are known, British art director and longtime collaborator Shona Heath will design the space to house the photographs, films, sets and installations. Expect some extraordinary viewing come September 2019.
