Workshop drop shoulder cotton shirt, 1988
While working for ChaCha magazine in the 1980s, Kerry Brown began shooting fashion campaigns for the "new guard in fashion" - Workshop, Street Life, Equipment Clothing, Standard Issue and Zambesi. His photographs diverged from the typical fashion photography of the time. A major factor in this development was his wife Rosanna Raymond, pictured modelling this Workshop shirt. Kerry describes Rosanna as a fashion activist, a model, artist and stylist. "No one had really done campaigns like that before here. We brought in fresh faces, kids from the street, from Polynesia, beautiful faces that reflected the multicultural society. Until then, it was really white."
