Bond's photographs of London street fashion capture its youth - and in particular the young women - scowling and pouting; his subjects are often shopping and at leisure, and he happens upon them in medias res as they turn a corner, or pause to pay for a purchase. Some are well-prepared to accept the gaze of his lens and then his presence is met with a vacant stare: the one who has caught his eye acknowledging the camera unembarrassed and unbowed: proud of their branded designer garments and carefully preened image. On Bond's streets, the energy and vitality of London in the long must-have days that led up to the car crash in Paris and the millennium is always present in the pose and the gestures of its brazen youth.
