On 3 September 2002, Marks & Spencer launched its View From sportswear range in London with four prominent British names from sport and the stage.

Round-the-world sailor Ellen MacArthur, Royal Ballet principal Darcey Bussell, England cricketer Darren Gough and Olympic skier Chemmy Alcott appeared at the launch. Eight archive frames capture the individual portraits and pairings from an unmistakably early-2000s event.
