There\u2019s nothing quite like \u201890s Britain. As the country recovered from a bruising recession, a punkish hedonism rippled across pop culture. Britpop bands fought for chart supremacy, Young British Artists were shaking up the game and the Kate Moss<\/a>-fronted \u2018Cool Brittania\u2019 era came into full swing.<\/p>\n This October, a new, major exhibition at Tate Britain<\/a> will revisit the thrill of an era it describes as \u201ca new dawn of optimism, freedom and rebellion.\u201d Curated by Edward Enninful<\/a>, the former editor-in-chief of British Vogue, The 90s transports us back to the decade that sculpted UK culture into what it is today.\n<\/p>\n The showcase brings together iconic images by photographers including Juergen Teller<\/a>, Nick Knight<\/a>, David Sims<\/a> and Corinne Day, shown alongside the work of Damien Hirst<\/a>, Gillian Wearing and Yinka Shonibare<\/a>. Fashion collections by some of the decade\u2019s most defining designers \u2014 Vivienne Westwood<\/a>, Alexander McQueen<\/a> and Hussein Chalayan<\/a> \u2014 will also be on show.\n<\/p>\n One of the most influential voices in fashion and media culture today, Enninful makes a fitting curator for the moment. Appointed as i-D\u2019s fashion director at just 18, Enninful, who now heads EE72<\/a>, has held influential roles at Vogue, Vogue Italia and W Magazine throughout his career.\n<\/p>\n On the heels of his departure from British Vogue, he stepped into his first curatorial role for Robert Mapplethorpe<\/a>\u2019s March 2024 show at Thaddaus Ropac. More recently, he hosted a series of 90s-themed artist talks at Art Basel Paris 2025 ahead of the Tate exhibition.\n<\/p>\n
