I was made art director at the age of 23 and was free to do what I wanted."

"I took over after the grunge period, the black and white photography – and I took it in a completely new direction, very colourful, very energetic and we were early adopters of using digital tech to enhance pictures."Asked why the magazine closed in 2004, Mr Swillingham said "I think culture changed in the early 2000's , the magazine was competing with the internet and there was a very saturated print market at the same time."He added: "It is important to note it was revived in 2019 and they are doing a very good job."

Senior curator of photographs at the National Portrait Gallery Sabina Jaskot-Gill said: "The Face has been a trailblazing title since 1980, not just documenting the contemporary cultural landscape, but playing a vital role in inventing and reinventing it."Within its pages, The Face has produced some of the most innovative fashion and portrait photography of its time – the magazine always allowed its contributors the creative freedom to react against the prevailing mood, to create a shift in culture."
