Hamiltons Gallery
Hamiltons Gallery presents British photographer, Gavin Bond’s first solo exhibition ‘Gavin Bond: Being There’. From 15th September – 29th October 2022 Bond’s previously unseen works will give you a glimpse backstage at some of the 90’s most iconic fashion shows…
Gavin Bond: Being There delves into the photographer’s archive, showcasing countless notorious fashion ‘moments’. Bond rediscovered this extensive collection of images during lockdown 2020; they took him back to when he was a young fashion student at the prestigious Central Saint Martins. In 1988, Bond enrolled at CSM, alongside notable alumni John Galliano, Alexander McQueen, Stella McCartney, Hussein Chalayan, Giles Deacon and legendary stylist Katie Grand. As a fashion student, Bond was invited to attend London Fashion Week, it was here that he got unfettered access to dive head first, with his camera, into the wild world of backstage fashion shows.
Hamiltons’ exhibition features a unique ‘grid’ comprising of approximately 50 gelatin silver prints arranged to emulate the feeling of ‘being there’ backstage. This incredible installation will be paired alongside a selection of large format, editioned, gelatin silver prints which are on view for the first time.
Location: Hamiltons Gallery, 13 Carlos Place, W1K 2EU
Date: Thursday 6th - Thursday 13th October
Time: Thurs, Fri, Mon, Tues, Wed 10am - 6pm | Sat 11am - 4pm
