On a rainy Tuesday, as guests recovered from the antics of a British bank holiday, the great and good of the Nineties fashion congregated at 180 the Strand for the opening night of a new exhibition, ‘Back in the Dazed’ by Rankin. It pays tribute to the decade-long relationship between Rankin, the esteemed photographer, and Dazed magazine, which he co-founded with Jefferson Hack in 1992.
The show traces how Rankin’s work for Dazed helped shape fashion and culture between 1991 and 2001, highlights including Robbie Williams’ face printed on a pair of knickers and Kate Moss rocking crop tops. Rankin told The Standard the favourite decade of his photography is “mainly the Nineties. The reason I love it so much is because it symbolises me growing up, and in this show you can see a photographer at the beginning of his career and by the end of the decade I was sort of becoming quite good at it.”
