In Fine Style: The Art OfTudor And Stuart Fashion highlights the importance of fashion indisplaying social status, as well as the power of the monarchy toset fashion trends. The display of works by great artists such asVan Dyck, will cast light on the changing fashions of the periodand how clothing was used to convey important messages.The Queen’s Gallery, p. 58.Fashionable flair for witCutting edge photographs from the worlds of fashion, editorialand advertising are brought together in this vibrant show ofClaire Aho’s work from 1950-70. Claire Aho: Studio Works(until 21 Jul) displays images from the pioneer of Finnishcolour photography, renowned for capturing humorous, brightlycoloured scenes that often graced the covers of Finnishlifestyle magazines.

Gallagher’s work is often unsettlingin its repetition (the writings of Beat poetGertrude Stein influenced her approach)and abstraction of the eclectic imageryemployed. With her innovative use ofmaterials, the artist at once expresseshow it is to be ‘present’ and reminds heraudience that designs from the past live onand multiply, however insignificant humanbeings become.Tate Modern, p. 59.May 2013|<strong>LONDON</strong> PLANNER|visitlondon.com |55
