Less then a week since our last party to launch the July sex issue at the Almada bar in London’s Mayfair, Wallpaper* geared up for its next bash. This time, for the opening of the Typographical Tart Cards exhibition, held at the KK Outlet (opens in new tab) in East London.

A project carried out in conjunction with St Bride Library (opens in new tab) and Type LLP (opens in new tab), we asked designers – from students to superstars – to redesign and play tricks on the trademark of London call girls, the tart card. The response was phenomenal, with designers including Erik Kessels, Anthony Burrill, Neville Brody, NB: Studio, Value and Service, Fernando Gutiérrez, Ian Wright and Noma Bar all contributing. Over 400 cards will be on display both on wallpaper.com as well as at the KK outlet till 29th June.
Not surprisingly, opening night on the 24th June was a packed affair with the crowds spilling out on to the streets. A warm, balmy evening, welcome refreshments came courtesy of Tiger beer.
Focusing on contemporary artists who use traditional techniques to create their work, the exhibition seeks to expose contemporary artists who are well-known in Japan to a wider European and UK audience. Pictured: Sachiko Kazama, 9.11 memorial Pavilion, from the HEISESI EXPO 2010, 2010
