Johnson references brand snobbery, social stigma, chav culture and his own personal relationship with the tracksuit. 'I think the beauty of the tracksuit is that anyone can wear it anytime and it's accessible to anyone,' says Johnson. — From the Archive — War Nick Knight and Simon Foxton To celebrate the launch of 'Nick Knight: Image' at the Daelim Museum in Seoul, South Korea, SHOWstudio launched a previously never-before-seen process film from the making of one of Knight's most epochal images, 'War'.
