SCAD FASH Tour:
Campbell Addy: The Stillness of Elegance
and
Jeanne Lanvin: Haute Couture Heritage

Please join APG on August 16, 2025 at 1:00pm EST for a special tour at SCAD.

The tour will begin at SCADstory, an immersive 4D cinematic experience located at the front of SCAD Atlanta’s main building (1600 Peachtree Street). This special introduction offers a deeper look into the university’s rich history, creative culture, and global impact.

Following SCADstory, we will be escorted to SCAD FASH, where our tour will continue with a curated exploration of the two current exhibitions: photographer Campbell Addy: The Stillness of Elegance and clothing designer Jeanne Lanvin: Haute Couture Heritage.

Campbell Addy is a British Ghanaian artist whose striking photographs have garnered acclaim for their reconsiderations of beauty ideals. The artist creates conceptual images that offer expansive aesthetic possibilities for engaging with Blackness, identity, and representation. Emphasizing a narrative sensibility, Addy’s works have been published in British Vogue, i-D, and Dazed, among others, and have featured luminaries such as Tyler, The Creator, FKA twigs, Beyoncé, and Naomi Campbell. The Stillness of Elegance marks the artist’s first institutional solo exhibition in the U.S. and includes works that exemplify his dynamic exploration of personal intimacy, creative connection, and world-building across his catalog. Underscoring visibility for underrepresented communities, Addy heightens visual storytelling in captivating images that broaden the lexicon of fashion photography beyond the celebrity that audiences may typically associate with the industry.

The first exhibition in the U.S. dedicated to Jeanne Lanvin (b. 1867, Paris; d. 1946, Le Vésinet, France), Haute Couture Heritage showcases more than 60 garments, illustrations, and photographs spanning the height of her practice. Drawing from the collections of Fondation Azzedine Alaïa and Lanvin Heritage, the exhibition thoughtfully reflects on the couturier’s vast knowledge of silhouettes, fabric variations, and cutting techniques to highlight rich nuances in color, texture, transparency, and embellishment.

Visitor parking is available on Level 1 of the SCAD Atlanta parking garage, located behind the main building. From there, SCADstory and SCAD FASH are equidistant and easily accessible.

Please arrive 10–15 minutes early to allow time for parking and check-in.

The entire experience (SCADstory + SCAD FASH) typically lasts 1.5 to 2 hours.
