Vice magazine and four famous ladies are launching ‘stories of the eye’, an exhibition at London’s prestigious HOST Gallery. Celebrating the 50th birthday of the Classic Olympus, and to mark the release of the new Olympus E-P1, Vice’s new show is open from the 08-14 October.

The exhibition was inspired by a photography project carried out by the famous four; Alice Dellal, Love Foxxx, Daisy Lowe and Miquita Oliver. They all started out by documenting with the new Olympus E-P1, using the themes Style, Travel, London and Do What I Want.

These themes were then used to attract submissions to an open competition, and the best of the bunch were picked out for the show. Four photographers were also selected to win an E-P1: Kingsley Iffil, Josh Moore, Douglas Bell and Max Mallender. Check out the Vice site to see more of their images, plus the shots by Dellal et al.
