Celebrate individual style in our fashion competition

The National Conservation Centre is offering people the chance to celebrate their own individual style in a fantastic fashion competition. 

'Sound and Vision: Music and Fashion, photographed by Francesco Mellina, Liverpool, 1978-82' on display until 31 August 2009 at the National Conservation Centre, captures the fabulous fashions worn by the music fans inhabiting Liverpool’s music scene in the late 70s and early 80s. 

The exhibition documents the amazing trends at a pivotal point when music and fashion merged to create new sounds and styles, and now the National Conservation Centre is looking for people who have their own unique look and style to be photographed and add the finishing touch to the exhibition.

The person judged to have the most unusual, quirky and individual style will have their picture displayed in the exhibition for its duration: the perfect opportunity to be part of an exhibition documenting the past’s fashion flair and prove that Liverpool still has a creative and innovative style. 

Francesco Mellina will photograph all successful entrants over two sessions on Wednesday 27 May and Saturday 30 May, 1pm – 5pm. Photographs of all entrants will also appear on the National Museums Liverpool website.

To book your slot for one of the sessions, application forms can be picked up in the Sound and Vision exhibition in the National Conservation Centre and should be submitted by Friday 15 May 2009. Places at the sessions are limited and will last up to 15 minutes so we advice people to book now to avoid disappointment.
