From the fashion archive: BLACK (2004 / revisited 2015)

On 3 June 2004, Alexander McQueen returned to the London catwalk for one night only, in association with American Express. Black re-staged defining moments from his shows, opening with a duet between Kate Moss and Michael Clark.

Behind the scenes, Nick Knight had just minutes with each model, shooting them pressed against glass in a nod to the show’s box set. Among them were Naomi Campbell, Lily Cole and Moss herself. The images were meant to be brought together after the show, but stayed untouched in the archive for years.

In 2015, to mark Savage Beauty at the Victoria and Albert Museum, the work was finally brought together. A return to the archive, and a way of honouring Lee McQueen.

Today’s Fashion Film Archive pull is White Wedding: Let Them Eat Kate (2008).

@nick_knight, @katemossagency, @jakechapman and @dinos_chapman_studio come together in a grand collaboration with @agentprovocateur, marking the launch of its bridal range by extending a narrative campaign into a series of experimental films.

Working from a six-part script by founder Joe Corré, the team created six striking stills that map the slow collapse of a bride’s big day, unpicking both the fantasy and the institution around it.

Drawn from footage captured across The Happiest Day of Her Life, The Garden of Eden, Bad News, Frenzy, Revenge and Let Them Eat Kate, each image is pushed into motion through projection and in-camera experimentation.

With styling by @kegrand, hair by @sammcknight1 and make-up by @thevalgarland, the series is brought to life by an iconic creative team.

Across the films, Moss moves between extremes, from demure bride to dangerous, Lynchian siren, hinting at new creative ground for fashion film within advertising.

Released over one week in May 2008, the full sequence captures a complete marital meltdown.

Watch all six films and explore the credits now on SHOWstudio.com.

On Sunday @jakewburt wrapped another successful pop-up in New York with Jake’s, his worldwide underground casualwear idea. Through Jake’s, Jake reaffirms his belief that brick and mortar will revitalise itself as the arena where fashion and style combine. Burt and partner Stefan Cooke joined us last year to discuss the history of their world. This was several months before Jake’s was featured in a popular Manhattan-based newspaper, as Jake’s sold (and sold out) on Vyner St. weekends. Designers at their best anticipate our tomorrow six months’ early. This explains why Stefan and Jake elevate ho-hum observations over eight years now, which is why we crave their collections. They are also funny as hell. It helps.

Meet Jake’s again for the first time. Then watch @stefan_cooke go in depth, In Fashion, on SHOWstudio.com

Artificial intelligence is changing fashion image-making fast and not without controversy. As brands experiment with AI-generated campaigns, conversations around authorship, ethics, and the future of creative jobs continue to intensify. For the latest Industry Access conversation, legendary image-maker Nick Knight @nick_knight joins creative technologist Tom Wandrag @a_new_plane at SHOWstudio @showstudio in London to discuss the promises and limits of AI in fashion. With Knight’s groundbreaking work shooting stars like Björk, Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, and Iman and A New Plane’s experiments with emerging technology, the pair explore whether AI can expand creativity without replacing the human instinct behind great images. Moderated by Models.com Editorial Director Irene Ojo-Felix, watch part 1 of conversation now at the link in bio and stay tuned next week for part 2.
