Nan Goldin's Work

Nan Goldin's first solo show was held in Boston in 1973. It was based on her photographic journeys among the city's gay and transsexual communities, to which she had been introduced by her friend David Armstrong.


“Our designs exist to reflect the integrity of a woman and resonate her unique individualism” says Gary Theodore, one half of the designer duo that makes up Australian (Melbourne) label Scanlan and Theodore, which led the pair to collaborate with model Erin Wasson and counter-culture photographer Nan Goldin f0r the breezy new spring/summer look book.


Goldin, best known for documenting the post-punk new wave music and transgender scene of the 70s and 80s, shot Wasson in a ramshackled mansion in New York State, and the distressed walls and shabby-chic furniture compliments the label’s grunge-glamorous evening wear.
