Self Service Celebrates Its 25th Anniversary With An Exhibition At Dallas Contemporary

The Dallas Contemporary dedicated an exhibition to the twenty-fifth anniversary of Self Service magazine. Self Service Twenty Five Years of Fashion, People and Ideas Reconsidered, which opened April 13th, is a show that’s as bold, dynamic and as visually compelling as the publication itself. A trippy mega blown up ride through its sterling list of collaborators—Inez and Vinoodh, Juergen Teller, Helmut Lang, et al—juxtaposed against Petronio’s art direction, not to mention his many, many Polaroids of people who work in every aspect of the industry. Self Service was really the first publication to throw the spotlight on to those behind the scenes, simultaneously celebrating and demystifying fashion culture.
