Curated by influential fashion editor Edward Enninful OBE, The 90s: Art and Fashion explores a transformative decade in British culture, when creativity, diversity, and rebellion reshaped the country’s artistic identity. Emerging from recession, Britain experienced renewed optimism and freedom, inspiring a generation of artists, designers, photographers, and musicians. The exhibition highlights how these creative fields merged, challenging traditional cultural hierarchies and bringing high art and popular culture closer together.
Through Enninful’s perspective, the exhibition examines both the energy and challenges of the 1990s and the lasting impact of its leading figures. It features iconic photography by Juergen Teller, David Sims, and Corinne Day, alongside works by artists including Steve McQueen, Damien Hirst, Sarah Lucas, and Yinka Shonibare. Fashion and music culture are also represented through designs by Vivienne Westwood, Alexander McQueen, and John Galliano, as well as fashion films. Overall, the exhibition presents the 1990s as a pivotal period that transformed British culture and continues to influence contemporary art and fashion today.
