An exhibition in the land of the Big Ben celebrates the world’s best music and style innovators

You’ve loved Elvis, David Bowie and Jimi Hendrix on stage, and now you can see them at galleries as well. Rock Style, an exhibition in London that’s being curated by Tommy Hilfiger and Jeffrey Deitch, has the best rock musicians captured forever in frames.

From Mick Jagger to Madonna and Joey Ramone to Sid Vicious, each one’s style stood out as much as their tunes – the show celebrates these icons of music and fashion. The exhibition also includes specially commissioned artworks of a few lords of music by American artist-activist Shepard Fairey. Rock on, indeed.

Rock Style is on display at Sotheby’s S|2 Gallery, London (31 St George Street) until October 30, 2015.
