Inspired by Anselm Kiefer's blackened sunflower heads, Nick Knight and Amanda Harlech unite on a live shoot for V Magazine, featuring model-of-the-moment Molly Bair in a selection of designers including Junya Watanabe and Comme des Garcons.
Entitled Amor, the project explores the parallels between creativity and love - both all-encompassing, yet transient. 'The eloquence of Molly Bair through the lens of Nick Knight, in gestures of light and shadow, a poem. Code name: Hamlet. Renaissance scholar, poet. Amor is an expression about the romance of thinking, the algebra of love, the equation of thought and how it is expressed. Design is a voice - the questioning of cloth until it sings, the mystery of great design by the greatest designers, the deep currents of obsession to perfect a truth,' says Amanda Harlech.
