‘Spin’ by London College of Fashion
London College of Fashion’s Art Gallery will play host to a new exhibition, Spin. As part of the London Design Week the exhibition will start tomorrow and run until October 3rd. Featuring iconic album artworks that are hand picked by University of the Arts alumni, GQ editor Dylan Jones, and The Horrors’ Faris Rotter and designer Peter Saville. Celebrating the art of the record cover and the relationship that has been prominent between music and art for so many years.
Some covers to look out for are Chemical Brothers ‘Surrender’ with original art work by Kate Gibbs and Everything But The Girl’s “Walking Wounded” by FORM.
“Between the Fifties and Eighties, before style magazines, MTV and the internet, the record cover was the primary visual communication between young people around the world,” says Saville, who famously designed artwork for Joy Division and New Order.
