In this instalment, Karen Elson talks to Knight about shooting the explosive A/W 01 Dior campaign and the elegance of John Galliano's cuts, candidly explaining the shoot from her personal perspective. — From the Archive — Fashion Fetish Poppy de Villeneuve, Daphne Guinness, Ruth Hogben and more Revisit 'Fashion Fetish', a series of fashion films, performances, multi-media pieces and accompanying essays by women in fashion.
