Moira Lovell's series shows young women from school-themed nightclubs and returned, still wearing their fancy dress, in front of their old school gates. Lovell didn't direct her models, letting them choose their stance and pose, there is a certain uniform to their posewhich is balanced by the uniformity of the composition.
Through the adoption of an alternative persona, this nightclub phenomenon seems liberating, and yet highly socially controlled. Dislocated from the night-time context of fancy dress, the women appear unsure of the role they are now to play.
