Former British Vogue editor Edward Enninful has curated a major Tate Britain exhibition exploring art and fashion during the 1990s.<\/p>\n

Set to launch in autumn this year, the show will feature work from nearly 70 individuals including fashion designer Alexander McQueen and artist Damien Hirst.<\/p>\n

The exhibition, titled The 90s: Art And Fashion, will explore the surge of creative energy during the decade, which Enninful said \u201cestablished conditions that are still with us\u201d.<\/p>\n

It will spotlight work from young artistic talent that emerged during the period and give UK audiences the opportunity to reconsider the time as a \u201cturning point\u201d in British art.<\/p>\n

Photography from Corinne Day, Nigel Shafran and Juergen Teller for publications including i-D and Dazed And Confused will be featured, alongside artwork such as Chris Ofili\u2019s award-winning No Woman, No Cry painting.<\/p>\n

Spread across multiple rooms, the show will bring together more than 100 photographs, paintings, sculptures and garments.<\/p>\n

Speaking at a press launch for the exhibition on Monday, Enninful said the year of 1990 was a \u201cmoment of transition\u201d.<\/p>\n

The 54-year-old added: \u201cLondon at the time wasn\u2019t the polished global capital it is today \u2013 it was raw, unstable and full of possibility.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was a sense that something was shifting, even if we didn\u2019t have the language for it.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat defined that period for me was not a single movement, but an energy \u2013 a refusal of hierarchy and a belief that new voices could and should be heard across art, fashion, music and image making.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said that for him, as a young black man from Ladbroke Grove, west London, the moment was also about \u201caccess\u201d and \u201cfinding a place within spaces that hadn\u2019t been built with you in mind\u201d.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cThis exhibition is not about nostalgia, it\u2019s about understanding a moment that continues to shape how we think, how we create, how we see.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe 1990s established conditions that are still with us.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe merging of high and low culture, the politicisation of fashion and image and the emergence of diversity as a creative force.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd perhaps, most importantly, it reminds us the questions we were asking then remain urgent now, questions of visibility, access and who gets to be seen.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo this exhibition is an invitation, not to look back, but to look again, to reconsider that decade, not as a closed chapter, but as something still unfolding\u201d<\/p>\n

Enninful was Vogue\u2019s first black editor-in-chief, and became the youngest fashion editor at a major international title when he took on the role of fashion director at i-D Magazine aged 18.<\/p>\n

Born in Ghana and raised in Ladbroke Grove, he is known for his championing of diversity in fashion, and was made an OBE in 2016 for his services to fashion.<\/p>\n

The 90s: Art And Fashion exhibition will run at Tate Britain in Westminster from October 8 to February 14 next year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Former British Vogue editor Edward Enninful has curated a major Tate Britain exhibition exploring art and fashion during…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":23103,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[10402,6188,13,10455,10404,10405,10406,649,10456,5,10457],"class_list":{"0":"post-23102","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-britain","8":"tag-alexander-mcqueen","9":"tag-arts","10":"tag-britain","11":"tag-british-vogue","12":"tag-corinne-day","13":"tag-damien-hirst","14":"tag-edward-enninful","15":"tag-tate-britain","16":"tag-the-90s-art-and-fashion-exhibition","17":"tag-uk","18":"tag-vogue"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@UnitedKingdom\/116476371581088739","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23102","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23102"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23102\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23103"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23102"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23102"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23102"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
