Collab-Ho: Nick Knight and Ruth Hogben

It has been in the works for a long time but finally SHOWstudio has launched the Insensate; a two minute short film by Nick Knight and filmmaker Ruth Hogben which was filmed during the cover shoot for the October issue of Dazed.

A gothic fairyland was conjured up and taking center position is Gareth Pugh’s autumn winter 2008 collection. The film’s soundtrack has been specially devised by artist Matthew Stone.

Thanks Dazed Digital

Spread Um: Unbelievable Fashion

There is noting more stunning than December British Vogue’s editorial titled “Unbelievable Fashion.” Leave it up to Nick Knight to capture Lily Donaldson and Jourdan Dunn in an imaginative, dream like pictorial poetry spread. This is an editorial for fashion lovers, dreamers and visionaries. Despite the anything but ready to wear fashions and amazing styling, this editorial seems so natural and effortless. Kudos Vogue, this is brilliant. 

Thanks I Love Lily Donaldson!

Spread Um: ‘Sculpture Class’ Shot by Nick Knight for Vogue

Love Nick Knight, and love the delicateness of this spread. The colors are subdued yet sexy, and the brightness of the model’s orange hair really stands out amongst the other muted tones.

Thanks Wicked Halo for the pics

Don’t Mess with Naomi!

Supermodel Naomi Campbell stars in photographer and filmmaker Nick Knight’s film. The film ends with the infamous supermodel firing two handguns. I love it. While Campbell’s violent past could make this film hilarious, the movie’s subject touches on a serious fashion issue. The film’s premise is racism in the fashion industry.

Lately, this seems to be a hot topic. From Italian Vogue’s all black issue to small forums, the industry is taking note of the color void. The silent film addresses the blunt nature of designers, advertisers, editors and agencies who denounce black models for employment. While the film is only two minutes long, it is powerful and resonate.   

“By my own inaction, I am guilty of allowing racism to be normalized and accepted in this business. This has made my deeply sad and increasingly angry.”  - Nick Knight
