Sound and Vision
Sound and Vision: music and fashion photographed by Francesco Mellina, Liverpool, 1978 - 82. An exhibition at the National Conservation Centre, 1 May to 31 August 2009.
"I'm quite conformist in style now, but I used to be a New Romantic and did all the clubs featured in Sound and Vision. Now I work in press and marketing in the youth music field and I love seeing all the new music and bands coming through - it's very inspirational."
To complement his pictures of Liverpool fashions from 1978 to 1982 featured in the Sound and Vision exhibition, photographer Francesco Mellina took portrait photographs of some of the city's most stylish people in 2009.
All of these photographs are featured here on the website. One of the photographs was also selected to be framed and included on the walls of the exhibition itself by fashion designer Kirsty Doyle, who very kindly judged the Picture This! competition.
