'Campbell Addy: The Stillness of Elegance'

Campbell Addy is a British Ghanaian artist whose striking photographs have garnered acclaim for their reconsiderations of beauty ideals. The artist creates conceptual images that offer expansive aesthetic possibilities for engaging with Blackness, identity, and representation. Emphasizing a narrative sensibility, Addy’s works have been published in British Vogue, i-D, and Dazed, among others, and have featured luminaries such as Tyler, The Creator, FKA twigs, Beyoncé, and Naomi Campbell. The Stillness of Elegance marks the artist’s first institutional solo exhibition in the U.S. and includes works that exemplify his dynamic exploration of personal intimacy, creative connection, and world-building across his catalog. Underscoring visibility for underrepresented communities, Addy heightens visual storytelling in captivating images that broaden the lexicon of fashion photography beyond the celebrity that audiences may typically associate with the industry.

The Stillness of Elegance is organized for SCAD FASH Museum of Fashion + Film by SCAD Museum of Art curator Ben Tollefson.

'Sandy Powell's Dressing the Part: Costume Design for Film'

Recipient of the prestigious BAFTA Fellowship, Sandy Powell is a formidable force in the filmmaking industry. Her work is continually recognized and celebrated among her peers, earning the highest honors for achievement in costume design, including three Academy Awards. Her longstanding collaborations with directors Martin Scorsese, Todd Haynes, and Neil Jordan and actors Julianne Moore, Tilda Swinton, and Cate Blanchett have encouraged Powell to design costumes that become characters of their own and vehicles of discovery for those who embody them.

In the debut exhibition of her work, visitors bear witness to Powell’s 40-year career of storytelling within a series of vignettes featuring more than 70 costumes from nearly 30 films, including Shakespeare in Love, The Wolf of Wall Street, and How to Talk to Girls at Parties. Experiencing Powell’s practice across an array of genres, periods, and realities, viewers are immersed in her legacy of worldbuilding.

Sandy Powell's Dressing the Part: Costume Design for Film is curated by Rafael Gomes, creative director of SCAD FASH museums.
