Sam Taylor-Johnson

Filmmaker and photographer Sam Taylor-Johnson rose to prominence as one of the rule-breaking Young British Artists (YBAs) of the 1990s Brit Art scene. She went on to capture public imagination with her one-hour video portrait of David Beckham sleeping, a film that explores masculinity, vulnerability and fame itself. A two-times cancer survivor, there is a biographical narrative in her work about the body and identity, loss and hope - sometimes subtle, sometimes overt, but always witty, thoughtful and moving. And, today - although the mother of four professes to spend much of her life in sneakers - the symbolism and drama of fashion and clothes remain a constant in her work.

Om Podcasten

Pieces of Me is a podcast series from PORTER in which Incredible Women – from Tracee Ellis Ross, Halima Aden and Sam Taylor Johnson to Zainab Salbi – tell their stories through the clothing that they wore at defining moments of their lives. Each week a different inspiring woman takes us “behind the seams” of her extraordinary life. Pieces of Me reminds us that clothes are never just clothes and that the meanings woven through them – about beauty, power, identity, freedom and fashion as a force for change – are the stories of women’s lives.
