Radiographie De La Mode

The opening and private view for the exhibition, Radiographie De La Mode at Espace, La Vallee Village was held on Saturday the 19th of March.

Over 20 X-rays or perhaps more appropriately, radiographs of fashion and haute couture images were displayed at the gallery and a wedding scene was recreated in X-ray with the bride groom and bridesmaid's outfits represented in life-size.

A number of limited edition Tee-Shirts are available too which depict a racy basque, a DJ with heaphones and microphone and for the kids, a teddy bear - all sporting Nick's signature. La Vallee Village promoted the exhibition in each of its boutiques and shops and the show is proving popular with shoppers interested in seeing the fabric and construction that goes into the garments that they wear.


Limited edition prints mounted here on hangers and hung from clothing rails are also available to buy at La Vallee. The three prints depict a sequined disco bag, a bottle of perfume in a box and a subtly colured X-ray of a pair of sunglasses. These are limited to editions of 50.

We are grateful at Radar Studio for the dedicated advice and curatorial expertise of Benedicte Lesieur Jobbe-Duvall and also Daniela Ribeiro Pereira at La Vallee Village.

X-rays: A Child's Eye View

One of the most rewarding projects Nick has been involved with in recent times is the publication of a book of his X-rays, produced in collaboration with the Science Museum in London. The book, entitled X-treme X-ray is published for children and serves as a fantastic introduction to the incredible power of X-ray radiation. As the jacket says:

"ARE YOU READY FOR A WHOLE NEW WAY OF SEEING? THROUGH SOLID WALLS? THROUGH METAL CASING? EVEN THROUGH SKIN?

Then enter the world of X-treme X-ray, where nothing is as it seems. See through the surface of a computer to the microchips and working parts within. Explore the many bones of a human skeleton in action. Turn bats and spiders inside out and discover a wealth of fascinating facts along the way."

X-treme X-ray has 48 pages of Nick's pictures and is packed with well-researched facts about the subjects making it an extremely informative book as well as being visually intriguing and exciting.

X-treme X-ray is published by Carlton Books at £9.99 and is available from the Science Museum and at a wealth of bookshops both good, bad and indifferent.
