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.

Portent (2009) is a poetic fashion film created to celebrate the introduction of womenswear collections to @thecornerdotcom_.

Created by @nick_knight and @ruthhogben, Portent is a sensual and delicate exploration of romantic classicism, set against architectural details photographed around London’s Knightsbridge, Belgravia and the Victoria and Albert Museum.

With styling by @simonfoxton, the film unfolds as an allegorical love story expressed through Autumn/Winter 2009 menswear and womenswear from some of the world’s leading designers.

Tomorrow on Fashion Radio, we’re joined by Joe Corré. As the co-founder of Agent Provocateur, Joe helped create one of the most era-defining British fashion brands of the ‘90s and early 2000s, building a world that blended sex, luxury, humour and rebellion in a way fashion hadn’t really seen before.

Born into one of Britain’s most influential creative families, the son of Vivienne Westwood and Malcolm McLaren, Joe has spent decades across fashion, music and counterculture, shaping his own path through business, activism and independent thinking.

Stay tuned.

From the fashion archive: Left Eye (2010)

@ladygaga offers a glimpse from within her world of celebrity in this short film.

Created for SHOWstudio’s Fashion Body, a season exploring the human form through fashion film, Gaga takes a different approach. Instead of representing the body, she turns the camera outward, showing us the world through her own eye.

@nick_knight asked her to wear a webcam on the walk from car to hotel. Edited by @ruthhogben, you catch moments of Gaga speaking to @nicolaformichetti as they move.

Today’s archive fashion film is J’adore (2001), directed by @nick_knight .

The inspirations behind @jgalliano’s S/S 01 ‘Trailer Trash’ collection for Christian Dior, set in motion. The Jerry Springer Show meets beauty queens, a ’57 Cadillac, and the raw, offbeat energy of Gummo. Put it all in a blender and what do you get?

With @angelalindvall at the centre, and spray paint in the mix, the film captures the exaggerated, culture-clashing world surrounding Galliano’s Spring/Summer 2001 Dior collection.

Yesterday @slvsareoptionl broke down GENER8ION’s Storm for you, and traced it back to an earlier SHOWstudio project, also choreographed by @damienjalet.

In January 2008, @bernhardwillhelm collaborated with @nick_knight on a fashion film to showcase his A/W 2008 menswear collection. Ahead of the shoot, Wilhelm set the tone with the working title ‘Men in Tights’ - a precursor to the nylon and lycra action that unfolds on set.

Nick Knight’s ICE CREAM (2007) sees @ruthhogben transform raw BTS footage into a luminous, dreamlike film, with @lilydonaldson in archival Maison Martin Margiela for Visionaire’s Decades issue.
