Lightroom London

Lightroom London presents Vogue: Inventing the Runway, an immersive exhibition offering an exclusive opportunity to experience fashion history up close. While high-end fashion shows are typically reserved for the press, buyers, and celebrities, this exhibit gives visitors a front-row seat to some of the most iconic events in fashion. 

Since 1892, Vogue has been instrumental in shaping the fashion industry, influencing photography, supermodels, and setting trends that define the culture.

The exhibition showcases the work of legendary photographers such as Richard Avedon, Annie Leibovitz, and Irving Penn. It also features unforgettable video footage from fashion’s most memorable moments, including Alexander McQueen’s Spring/Summer 1999 show, where his No. 13 dress was spray-painted by two robots, and the iconic moment when supermodels Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista, and Christy Turlington lip-synched to George Michael’s 'Freedom' at the close of Versace’s Autumn/Winter 1991 show, and some of the most awe-inspiring and over-the-top 'catwalks'.


TIP : Be sure to take a look at the dress displayed in the lobby Undercover by Jun Takahashi Look 57 from the Spring 2024 collection.

Whether you’re a fashion enthusiast or simply curious about the industry, this exhibit reveals the artistry and innovation behind the legendary catwalk!

NAOMI: In Fashion

A Retrospective

The NAOMI: In Fashion retrospective at the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A), created in collaboration with Naomi Campbell, showcases her 40-year career both on and off the runway.

Discovered at 15 while shopping with friends, Campbell appeared on the cover of British Elle months later. Within two years, she became the first Black model to grace the cover of Paris Vogue in August 1988. By the 1990s, she was established as one of the original ‘supermodels’ alongside Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington, and Tatjana Patitz.
The exhibit features iconic outfits from her collaborations with designers like Dolce & Gabbana, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Marc Jacobs, and Gianni Versace. It also includes runway footage highlighting her signature ballet-inspired walk, with a chance for visitors to try their own on a makeshift runway after a 'how-to' lesson by Campbell herself.

Beyond modeling, Campbell’s influence extends to activism and philanthropy. A video wall shares reflections from actors, celebrities, designers, models, and others who know her best.

A must-see for Naomi fans and fashion enthusiasts, this exhibit offers a unique behind-the-scenes look at the fashion world.  
Tickets £18 — Closes April 6th
