“The Face Magazine: Culture Shift” at the National Portrait Gallery London
The show traces the magazine’s transformative influence on fashion, music, and youth culture. More than a retrospective, the exhibition highlights how The Face redefined visual storytelling, shaping not just what was cool, but how cool was seen. Across decades, it championed new talent, pushed creative boundaries, and disrupted mainstream aesthetics. The show captures the energy and irreverence that made The Face essential. A reminder that true style isn’t about following trends, but creating them.
On view until May 18th
