Nick Waplington, Tate Britain

As we gear up for the V&A blockbuster Alexander McQueen exhibition, Tate Britain offers a rare glimpse into the behind the scene practices of the British fashion designer through a series of candid images by photographer Nick Waplington. If you can't get enough of McQueen, this exciting talk by world famous photographer Waplington gives an insight into a fascinating project, and explains how he selected and tackled the various subjects of his work.

Juxtaposed with rigorously produced images of recycling plants and landfills, Nick Waplington's Tate exhibition creates a powerful commentary on destruction and creative renewal – themes at the heart of McQueen’s Horn of Plenty collection. This photography show gives visitors access into the unseen, magical world of the notoriously private McQueen. As Waplington muses, “It was a wonder to watch him work, of course... His work was almost performance art - the grand gesture. He was a very theatrically inspired guy.”
