Thomas Manss & Company

As part of an all-encompassing identity for Face of Fashion, the National Portrait Gallery's survey of contemporary fashion photography, Thomas Manss & Company designed a range of merchandise items to be sold in the museum shop. Unfortunately, the collection could not be based on the exhibits in the show, because the fees that would have been payable for the rights to use the photographs would have been prohibitive. Fortunately, the Face of Fashion logotype had been designed with this potential dilemma in mind and turned items ranging from mints and mugs to bags and vanity mirrors into an instantly recognisable collection.
