Models & Mothers

Morwenna Lytton Cobbold and The Gilbert Scott Present Models & Mothers: An Exhibition In Aid of Breakthrough Breast Cancer.

Burberry Model Morwenna Lytton Cobbold offers an exclusive insight into the lives of top models and their mothers in a free photography exhibition at The Gilbert Scott Bar and Restaurant throughout October.

This October, in honour of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, model and photographer Morwenna Lytton Cobbold will be displaying her series of Models and Mothers photography portraits in an exclusive free exhibition at The Gilbert Scott.

Offering an intimate insight into the lives of top models Natalia Vodianova, Portia Freeman, Leomie Anderson, Olivia Inge, Zoe Zimmer, Greta Bellamacina and Amber Atherton, Models & Mothers looks into notions of identity, memory, relationships and families in a series of portraits of models with their mothers, photographed in their own homes.

I came across the exhibition via Vogue and it looks fascinating. The modelling and fashion industries are tough and family and external relationships play such a huge role in keeping those involved sane in my experience! This exhibition epitomises the importance of this and the display context - a bar and restaurant - is down to earth and familiar. All of the images are for sale and I've selected a few to share below... I for one am definitely planning to visit next month!
