Thursday I had a spare half hour whilst I was out near Covent Garden, so I decided to pop into the Stylist Cover exhibition in Charing Cross.
At Proud Central gallery on John Adam street they are showing some of the original art work as well as insight into the creative process to come up with some of the iconic covers for Stylist magazine.
The photo used for the recent Lena Dunham edition of the magazine (she was the editor!)
The iconic Nigella salted caramel shot – food porn!
Caitlin Moran
Original stained glass window made specifically for another cover – the shear diversity of art work used is staggering.
Hand made neon tubes!
Another iconic cover – original Rob Ryan paper cutout
As you can see they positively encouraged photos – there were copies of the catalogue to take away and I also snaffled some Lena Dunham badges!!! All for FREE…
So if you find yourselves in town this weekend with a spare 20 minutes – pop in, it’s open until Sunday. Nearest tube is Charing Cross (it’s off Villiers street), so Embankment is also very close and it’s only 5 minutes walk from Covent Garden or Trafalgar Square.
Spotted in the fridge – new premixed Bloom gin and Fentimens Rose Lemonade – will have to try this!
