Hands up who doesn't love Moschino? And ten quid says the first piece you ever owned was one one of those knock-off market belts where you had to rearrange the letters from M-O-C-H-S-I-N-O to resemble something close to a genuine article. Anyway. A new exhibition, OFF-KEY celebrates our 30 year love affair with the Italian label and explores our appropriation of it from inner city street culture to the more well heeled affluent suburbs alike.

Curated by the stylist Julianna Sseruwagi-Nisbett, OFF-KEY stars all of our current red-hot young thangs from the worlds of fashion to football, acting and grime.  including, Daisy Lowe, Jamie Winstone, Lethal Bizzle and Eliza Doolittle. Shot by Linus Morales, Tom Beard, Alex Harley and Joe Miranda, the photographs are displayed sans text so "people will appreciate the beauty in the clothes, the way they are worn and for each individual to interpret the photograph in their own way," says Nisbett.

OFF-KEY opens this Friday 27th May at Annin Arts, The Strand Gallery, 32 John Adam Street, WC2N 6BP and runs until the 1st June
