Wet Women

Nuzzled within Brick Lane's shopping district, adjacent to The Truman Brewery, sits No 6 Dray Walk; a trendy, urban clothes shop regularly visited by the young fashionistas of Shoreditch. Last night, and for one night only, the bright clothes, white walls and polished wooden floors housed an exhibition of American photographer Amanda Langford's 'Wet Women'.

...and not those kind of wet women before you ask. These glossy prints displayed various bikini-clad women posing underneath a simmering sunlight, each adorned with kitch 80's acccessories, large afros, bold coloured make-up and the last drips of water, which sit comfortably upon their oiled skin.

The electric-coloured photos were orginally exhibitied in the West Indies in 1988, and after their discovery in Langdon's attic years later, have been fully revived for a more contemporary audience. The exhibition iteself was curated by Reinform, a collective of creatives, thinkers and commentators. You can check out their website here, along with more photographs from the show.
