Rankin is set to hold an exhibition in Milan. The works of the Scottish photographer, whose real name is John Rankin Wandell, will be presented as a retrospective at the 29 Arts in Progress gallery at 13 Via San Vittore, Milan, from Oct.18, 2019, to Feb. 24, 2020.

Entitled "From Portraiture to Fashion," the exhibition will survey some 50 of the photographer's favourite works from his oeuvre. The works will be rotated according to events taking place in the Italian fashion capital, such as the Vogue Photo Festival and the Fashion Film Festival in November, in addition to the women's fashion week in February.

“I’m not one to shy away from a challenge, so this is a great opportunity for me to showcase some of my best work, have some exciting events and really become part of the cultural fabric of a city," commented Rankin.
