tim walker: story teller

Last week saw the opening of Tim Walker's new exhibition, Story Teller, in association with Mulberry, at Somerset House. If you are familiar with Walker's work you will understand his obsession with fairytales, and this is exactly what we see throughout the exhibition; a fashion  fairytale. However, Tim Walker would not be able to achieve anything to the standard he does without his fantastic set designer Shona Heath. She is the brains behind a lot of the spectacular images that we know and love from Tim. 




 As you walk through you will see a complete mix of surreal, often spooky, imagery inspired by fairytales that we know and love. These are mixed with stunning fashion photography which captures and enhances the beauty of the subject which alongside the gorgeous gowns creates a really beautiful photograph.




Prior to the opening of the event, Mulberry and Tim Walker teamed up to create this short film which gave viewers a sneak preview of the props and photographs included in the show. Like the photography it is very surreal and very spooky, perfect for Halloween just around the corner.

The exhibition is around until January so if you are in London between now and then, it is definitely worth a visit.

Enjoy xx
