Giles Price/Magda Keaney
Andy Warhol famously coined the 'Fifteen Minutes of Fame' cliche, but only in fashion do those fifteen minutes come around every six months. While all eyes usually focus on the flurry of the catwalk presentation, Fifteen Minutes of Fashion not only turns the lens backstage, but on the designers themselves. Taken during the S/S 2009 London Fashion Week presentations, these diptych images capture leading British designers five minutes before their show, and five minutes after their creations exited the runway. Curated by Magda Keaney and featuring the striking photography of Giles Price, the resulting portraits offer an arresting before-and-after contrast reflecting each designer's behind-the-scenes response to the realisation and reception of their latest collection.

Jason Evans, Richard Nicoll
Shown in its second season as part of the hit showcase Fashion East, Richard Nicholl teamed up with photographer Jason Evans to create this sequence of intimate portrait images to demonstrate Nicholl's distinctive way of draping and twisting fabric. Intercut with moments of pure motion fun from Evans, the piece was the seventh in a series of very different approaches to fashion editorial using film, screened in relation to London Fashion Week S/S '05.
