Black Pearl . This picture of mine is featured in the next @phillipsauction of contemporary photography in London on the 19th of May . #Ultimatevogue . Exciting ! A photo posted by Nick Knight (@nick_knight) on May 16, 2016 at 10:31am PDT

 

This film is called Hauter Space . It stared one of the most beautiful models I have ever worked with , the wonderful @alexiawight . I took stills from the film for the story in W magazine . It was amongst other things a tribute to the art of Aubrey Beardsley and Lillian Bassman , both of whom I love . Fashion film is in my opinion a non narrative medium as it owes its form to the language of fashion photography and fashion illustration and not to film . I am looking for the best fashion film makers in the world : enter the SHOWstudio Fashion Film award and help define this emerging medium . Details of how to enter and the prizes on SHOWstudio.com .

I had always wondered why in all self defence videos people were always shown dressed in jogging trousers, a t-shirt and trainers but as in life women wear totally different clothes it would fail to help. I wanted to do a series of self defence videos for women dressed in high fashion ; how to break a choke hold whilst wearing Prada for example . Krav Maga is in my opinion the best self defence and I asked two great instructors ; Jonathan Bullock and Magda Nikitczuk to teach the incredible @lara_stone and myself . ‘Get Back, Stay Back’ was the result. 10 short how to videos. The very first thing they teach you is , if attacked , never behave as a victim or you will become one . Fight back . Revisit the films and learn how to break a choke hold while wearing @ysl, circle slap in @maisonvalentino and bear hug in @chanelofficial!
