A quarter of a century after the V&A’s first-of-its-kind Streetstyle exhibition, curator Tory Turk has used a modern-day lens to create an updated version of the 1994 exhibition.

In the latest bid by a politician to seem just like the rest of us (cue images of British politicians purposely posing in a pub with a pint), Boris Johnson took to Twitter on Tuesday to release his own version of Vogue’s 73 questions. It was just as weird as it sounds. The video is the first election broadcast by the Conservative party for the upcoming December 12 election.
