"WOMEN LOSE POCKETS AND FRILLS TO SAVE FABRICS
Uncle Sam, disguised as Stanley Marcus, of Dallas' Neiman-Marcus, one of America's great fashion stores, last week assumed the role of fashion designer. In a sweeping order affecting all women's and girls' outer wearing apparel, the WPB (War Production Board), of which Mr. Marcus is apparel consultant, decreed to what lengths and width dresses, skirts, coats, suits, sleeves, belts and hems might go. Not so much as the flap of a pocket was overlooked in this order, aimed at 1) getting more garments out of materials available, and 2) preventing obsolescence of styles now current.
All new garments cut from wool after April 9 must conform to the WPB regulations. . . The changes involved as so slight that if the order had been treated like a military secret the layman probably would never have noticed the difference. That is exactly what the government hoped to achieve. The restrictions will save 15% of yardage now used. Categories exempted from WPB restrictions are infants' apparel, bridal gowns, maternity dresses, vestments for religious orders, burial gowns."

Malcolm X, Chicago, Illinois, USA, 1962
Eve Arnold
Gelatin silver print
Eve Arnold was commissioned by LIFE magazine to photograph the Black nationalist organisation, Nation of Islam. She gradually built a rapport with Malcolm X, who became a prominent Civil Rights activist before his assassination in 1965. Made during a visit to Black-owned businesses in Chicago, this portrait reveals Malcolm's acute awareness of his media image.*

Fragile Beauty: Photographs from the Sir Elton John and David Furnish Collection
(May 2024 to January 2025)
Showcasing over 300 rare prints from 140 photographers, Fragile Beauty is a major presentation of 20th- and 21st-century photography on loan from the private collection of Sir Elton John and David Furnish.
Selected from their collection of over 7,000 images, the photographs (many of which will be on public display for the first time) are era-defining images which explore the connection between strength and vulnerability inherent in the human condition.
Historically made from candle wax and now frequently created using PVC, the process is incredibly bespoke, with each item being made to order for individual restaurants. Having evolved beyond menu promotion, the process has now become its own form of cultural expression in Japan, and food replicas can be found on goods from keyrings to phone cases, some of which will be stocked at the Shop at Japan House London.
The exhibition covers the period from 1950 to the present day, bringing together an unrivalled selection of the world's leading photographers to tell the story of modern and contemporary photography. Celebrated works include a monumental installation of 149 Nan Goldin prints from her Thanksgiving series, as well as images from Robert Mapplethorpe, Cindy Sherman, William Eggleston, Diane Arbus, Sally Mann, Zanele Muholi, Ai Weiwei, Carrie Mae Weems and others.
Brand new acquisitions are also on display by Tyler Mitchell, Trevor Paglen and An-My Lê. These join some of the very first acquisitions made by John, including fashion photographs by Horst P. Horst, Irving Penn and Herb Ritts.
Marking 30 years of collecting, the exhibition celebrates Elton John and David Furnish's passion for photography and reflects their personal taste and unique eye as collectors. Across eight thematic sections, Fragile Beauty explores themes such as fashion, reportage, celebrity, the male body, and American photography. Portraits of stars from stage and screen also feature, including photography of Aretha Franklin, Elizabeth Taylor, The Beatles, and Chet Baker. Many photographs in the exhibition respond to themes of persecution, resistance, and key moments in history, including images of the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s, AIDS activism of the 1980s and the events of 11 September 2001.
