Cecil Beaton’s Fashionable World

Cecil Beaton’s Fashionable World

National Portrait Gallery, London – Until 11 January 202

Cecil Beaton, the ‘The King of Vogue’, was an extraordinary force in the 20th-century British and American creative scenes. Renowned as a fashion illustrator, Oscar-winning costume designer, social caricaturist and writer, Beaton elevated fashion and portrait photography into an art form.

Cecil Beatons Fashionable World is the first exhibition dedicated solely to Beatons ground-breaking contributions to fashion and portrait photography. The exhibition showcases Beaton at his most triumphant, from the Jazz Age and the Bright Young Things to the high fashion brilliance of the fifties and the glittering, Oscar-winning success of My Fair Lady. London, Paris, New York and Hollywood, his era-defining photographs captured beauty, glamour, and star power in the interwar and early post-war eras.
