Antimonide - fashion spot -

Tim Walker’s first retrospective at the Design Museum in London is opening next week on May 9.
Seen in respected fashion magazines such as the British and Italian editions of Vogue or Vanity Fair to name a few, Tim Walker’s work is viewed as one of the most imaginative being produced today.
The show will explore the design and planning process that goes into producing the sets and scenery in his photographs. Visitors will be able to gain access to an array of images, sketches, source materials rarely seen. The exhibition space will be transformed into a larger than life photography studio where a giant sized camera and oversized picture frames will place the viewer in the world of the fashion photo-shoot.
To coincide with the show ‘Pictures by Tim Walker’, a book published by teNeues will be available to the public.

From May 9 2008 to September 7 2008
