| CURRENT EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN | |
| A collaboration with stylist Alister Mackie and artist duo LucyandBart, Nick Knight's latest fashion film Extraordinary Gentlemen captures a series of hand-crafted handicraft homages to the extreme volumes and textures that characterise the best of twenty-first century menswear, as featured in AnOther Man magazine. Witness a phantasmagorical fusion of fashion and installation art in this unique film, re-imagining and reinventing the ordinary to fashion a series of one-off and truly extraordinary gentlemen.

| CURRENT PUNKATURE - PROCESS FILM | |

 Nick Knight took to the streets with stylist Alister Mackie to shoot Punkature, his editorial for the Winter 2011 issue of AnOther magazine inspired by a provocative fusion of punk and haute couture. Our latest process film, captured during the course of the shoot over summer 2011, documents textile designer David Bradley constructing a one-off, hand-printed chiffon dress backstage during the shot, later modelled by Saskia de Brauw and shot by Nick Knight.

| FROM THE SHOP PUNKATURE DRESS, 2011 | |
| | |
 Hand-crafted by textile designer David Bradley backstage during Nick Knight and Alister Mackie's Punkature shoot in June 2011, this unique ball-gown gown is a true one-off. A recent graduate of the Royal College of Art in Textile Design, Bradley's response to the Mackie's initial visual references of mid-eighties shots of musicians Strawberry Switchblade - and the polka-dot trend 'spotted' throughout the Autumn/Winter 2011 collections - was to hand screen-printed fifty meters of fabric with three sizes of dots. This fabric was the basis for this stunning gown, hand-smocked and machine-pleated into multiple layers, and captured on film by Nick Knight modelled by Saskia de Brauw. [more] | |
| FROM THE ARCHIVE FRIEZE | |
| | |
 A blur of colour, reflection and frantic animation - with Gareth Pugh himself making more than a cameo appearance, styled by Nicola Formichetti - this exclusive fashion film is crafted from archive video recorded on the set of Nick Knight's shoot for the October 2006 issue of i-D. The original footage, however, is only the raw material for escape into Ruth Hogben's edit of madcap post-produced fantasy, bristling with metallic foil, multicoloured balloons, and swirling neon catherine wheels. Frieze, indeed, is a cinematic reverie that expresses all the unbridled innovation and invention both of this shoot, and of Pugh's stratospheric career to date. [more] | |
