“Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.”- Coco Chanel

Artistic representation of fashion has existed since the dawn of civilization.  From the statues of Mesopotamia, the walls of Egyptian pyramids, the master paintings of the Renaissance, the cover of  Vogue’s first issue in 1892, and through today, artists have continued to carefully document fashion of the period. Gallery Nucleus is therefore proud to present our first fashion illustration exhibition.

We are privileged to have an international roster featuring established as well as emerging contemporary fashion illustrators. Exhibiting artists working in a variety of mediums from paint, watercolor, ink, textiles and digital media. These artists have worked with designers such as Dior, Jean-Paul Gualtier, and Marc Jacobs just to name a few. They have graced the pages of publications including, Vogue, Cosmopolitan, Elle, Nylon and many more. We are pleased to showcase the ever expanding world of fashion illustration that represents the latest trends of our time and captivates the greatest styles that will last forever.

For this new edition, Jessica Stam, dressed by Giles and shooted by Patrick Demarchelier, graces the cover of the magazine.

The 562-page debut issue contains 252 pages of advertising and confirms the development of fashion and luxury in Turkey and especially in Istanbul. “It is definitely an emerging market”, precised Jonathan Newhouse, CEO of Condé Nast International.

The launch of this new edition was celebrated during the Paris Fashion Week at Hotel de Crillon.

Coming this month is a special edition book about fashion “enfant extraordinaire” the Belgian born fashion designer Olivier Theyskens. Published by Assouline, this book is a wonderful photography essay by Julien Claessens, accompanied with a text by Sally Singer, the fashion news and features director for the US edition of Vogue.

“When he was twenty, Olivier Theyskens dropped out of design school to create his first collection. Within the next year, Women’s Wear Daily head­lined his “Star Quality,” Harper’s Bazaar christened him an “Instant Icon,” and The New York Times singled out his work in coverage of the Metro­politan Museum’s Costume Institute, where it was already enshrined. That Winter, Madonna wore Theyskens to the Oscars.

Photographer Sophie Delaporte (*1971, Paris) studied Photography and Film at the Louis Lumiere School in her hometown. After graduation she moved to London and began attracting attention through her first editorials in the early 90s for i-D . Her work can now be admired in magazines ranging from Vogue to Another Magazine.

On the 17th of September, to coincide with New York fashion week, the Michele Filomeno agency are launching an exhibit that’s a must-see if you love fashion photography and you happen to be in NYC…

It’s called Early Fashion Work, and it’s a photo exhibit of some of the most emblematic works by fashion photographer Sophie Delaporte. It’s the first exhibit dedicated exclusively to Delaporte, and it’ll be open until the 30th of October in the Sous Les Etoiles Gallery.

A global initiative set up by Vogue editors across the world, the Fashion’s Night Out sees brands coming together for a night of fashion shows, workshops, champagne and late-night shopping.

“As part of a bold global initiative, the international editions of VOGUE are partnering with designers, department stores, high-street chains and boutiques to create Fashion’s Night Out, an evening extravaganza to be held around the world on Thursday, September 10, 2009, from 6pm until midnight. Here, in London’s West End, we aim to lift shopping spirits and to emphasise the pleasure and joy of fashion. London is home to some of the world’s most celebrated designers and is a number one shopping destination internationally – Fashion’s Night Out will reinforce this.

The VOGUE team will be working with retailers to create a night of original in-store activities, including personal appearances, makeovers and workshops, during extended shopping hours.

VOGUE has designed a limited-edition T-shirt for sale on the night, with 100 per cent of money raised going to Crisis, the UK charity for the homeless.”

The exhibition at the Jeu de Paume, Paris (until January 4) is almost identical to that of the V & A Museum in London one year ago. Lee Miller was without doubt an extraordinary woman. Her beauty, first was surprising, since an early age to his 70 years: a pure beauty and sculptural. The men fell under her charm, Man Ray, Picasso, Robert Roland Penrose and many others.By her mid-thirties, already flooding the covers of British Vogue, Lee Miller chose to be at the other end of the camera in order to document the end of World War II. (She was one of only five female war correspondents.) Her photographs of London’s rubble & decay are amongst the finest war records. In Germany, at times her eye was cool – perhaps for self-protection – as when she photographed SS soldiers and their children, all dead by suicide. Although, when she encountered Hitler’s bathtub, she jumped in and playfully took a self-portrait. Her sweeping landscapes of the Middle East are like a lesson in geometry; and finally, the abstract female torsos she photographed can still moisten a few pants. Her knack for finding beauty in the most wretched places had quickly earned her “one of the seven most distinguished photographers.” [Vanity Fair]Lee Miller produced some of the most powerful photographs seen this century, from portraits of her friends such as Pablo Picasso, to her work as a correspondent with the US army in World War II. Beginning her own studio in Paris with artist Man Ray, she went on to work with Vogue, and in France, Egypt, and New York, being best remembered for her witty Surrealist images.

The muse of the 70′s, Lauren Hutton was selected by Mango to represent its A/W 08 collection. The actress model, 27 times cover girl of Vogue posed for the catalan photographer Antoni Bernad. This new campaign, called “We love you, Lauren,” aims to prove that fashion is not restricted to young models but to all women.

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
