Nicole Trevillan's London Club is a series of fashion photographs from influential new-music nightclubs in London between 2000 and 2010.

The club night Trash, founded in 1997, changed the direction of music experiences in London from ubiquitous mainstream techno to something more special and unique. It featured glam rock, eighties new wave and, most notably 'electro-clash', a new underground movement also recognised in New York. The style, glamour and sparkle of Trash regulars gave the dance floor an energy that helped create one of the most innovative scenes of the 'noughties'.

Following the success of Trash (voted Club of the Year by The Face magazine in 2001), other club nights, such as Nag Nag Nag, Electric Stew, Jacked, Return to New York, Drama, Computer Blue, DURRR and Smash and Grab, emerged with a similar theme.

Clubbers expressing a strong sense of self are photographed at the clubs, in their London homes or at local bars. Eclecticism, experimentalism, electro-clash, eighties, energy, tiaras, tartan and make-up: it's all there in this inspirational scene.
