Edward Enninful curates the latest TATE exhibition: The 90s
Explore a decade characterised by its bold creativity and rebellious spirit.
This year, Tate Britain will present The 90s, an exhibition curated by Edward Enninful, opening on October 8, 2026, and running through February 14, 2027.
Curated by industry game changer, Edward Enninful OBE, an image maker who has played a pivotal role in shaping fashion’s history, The 90s examines a seminal decade in which a groundswell of creativity changed the face of British culture.
As the Cold War ended and Britain began to emerge from recession, a new dawn of optimism, freedom, and rebellion was ushered in, epitomised by a new generation of diverse creative talent. This sense of boundless opportunity resulted in art, design, fashion and music fusing into one potent cultural force, signalling an audacious renewal of British spirit. The exhibition explores how long-held hierarchies were dismantled, with high art and pop culture feeding into one another, and looks at the enduring influence of key figures who emerged from this time.
The 90s brings together iconic images by photographers including Juergen Teller, Nick Knight, David Sims and Corinne Day. They will be shown alongside the work of artists like Damien Hirst, Gillian Wearing, and Yinka Shonibare, as well as fashion collections by decade defining designers including Vivienne Westwood, Alexander McQueen, and Hussein Chalayan.
Edward Enninful OBE is one the most influential voices in fashion and culture today.
