Glitterbugs

Profiling the early-noughties London club night Matinée, and its conspicuously fashionable attendees - dubbed 'Glitterbugs' - through images, text and of course music, this project showcases a slice of London hedonism captured at the turn of the millennium. Muse over the essay, mash-potato to the music or simply marvel at the arcane and ever-imaginative get-ups.
