The Face exhibition at the Natuonal Portrait gallery

A spicey margarita at a roof top bar in London, a walk along the strand, pina colada in hand, ART at the NPG…perfect Friday!

Of the 5 of us who did art this evening, 3 of us work in the creative industries and 2 of us worked at Exmouth House on the corner of Exmouth Market, home of The Face Magazine, Arena and Arena Homme +.

Nostalgia bubbled to the surface as we soaked up the exhibition - the vibrant page layouts, typography, photography and remembered what felt like a ‘golden era’. The 1990s - wasn’t 1950 a golden era? Well, seems like we all feel a bit nostalgic for the ‘90s - the culture, fashion, music, lived experience and fun!!! The excitement, individual style, feeling of something new about to blossom.

I’ll be going back to see the exhibition again and sit amongst the coloured walls of the exhibition each FULL of rich creativity and soak up that feeling of inspiration - i’m also going back to buy this book ⏬️
