For the first issue of poster magazine CHAOS 69, Katie Lyall and Charlotte Stockdale asked Nick Knight to create a unique project. Via Instagram, Knight contacted a selection of incredible talents to take part, each of whom pushes the boundaries of beauty. Each of the artists, @MatieresFecales, @Teratology, @isshehungry and @sadsalvia, are incredible talents, bringing their unique perspectives and personalities before the camera.
Just how far can make-up take you? This fashion film features four artists found on Instagram for their boundary-pushing beauty practices: Fecal Matter, Salvia, Hungry and Maren Bailey. The four devised their own awe-inspiring cosmetic visions for the first issue of CHAOS69 magazine back in 2017. Set to a twisted nursery rhyme soundtrack by Fecal Matter, this is not your regular beauty YouTube video.

In December 2016, Nick Knight shot a selection of key looks from the S/S 17 collections exclusively for German publication Stern magazine. Knight worked with models Jazzelle Zanaughtti, Anna Cleveland and Madison Stubbington over a three-day period to create an editorial focused on the language of photography.

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.

Nick Knight and Kanye West continue their decade-long creative partnership with the creation of the Yeezy Supply website. Having collaborated on a number of projects over the years - Knight filmed the Yeezy Season 8 show in Paris (2020), directed Jesus Is King: A Kanye West Film (2019), and has made a number of music videos for West, including BLKKK SKKKN HEAD and Bound 2 (2013) - the Yeezy Supply website is perhaps their most seminal project yet.
'Humans have created art in every medium we have encountered, but we have yet to see an art form emerge from the internet,' Knight told Fast Company. “Why shouldn’t the great art of the internet emerge from an e-commerce website?'

Soft Furnishings was a fashion shoot with a difference, sprung from the fertile imagination of graphic design legend Peter Saville and captured by Nick Knight for the July 2009 issue of Wallpaper* magazine. Inspired by the distinctly modish fetishisation of contemporary furniture design - and applying this to the sexualisation of an entire environment - Peter Saville worked with Knight, set designer Gideon Ponte and the Wallpaper* team to construct an imaginary 'Erotic House' of Pop perversity, layering abstract and contrasting colours and textures inspired by Richard Hamilton's collages and Allen Jones' canvases to invent a variety of 'rooms' for the eroticised abode.
To people, this post-modern dream home, Nick Knight and Peter Saville turned to stylist Francesca Burns, Italian model Mariacarla Boscono and Autumn/Winter 2009 fashion from the likes of Chanel, Prada, Yves Saint Laurent and Lanvin, accessorised by the less standard accoutrements of the sexual playroom.
In 2017, spearheaded by Raquel Couceiro, the project was revisited. A new film and interview reflect upon the shoot, the apartment and the Peter Saville mythology.

SHOWstudio aims to reveal every part of the photographic process, from innovative sets and astute styling to unusual photography techniques and breathtakingly unique models. With this in mind, Nick Knight unites with reality-star Kylie Jenner for V Magazine with an aim to showcase this new revolutionising figure in a high-fashion setting.
Stylist Anna Trevelyan highlights Jenner's notoriety for exhibition through her selection of diaphanous garments. These sheer and translucent items serve to expose Jenner's custom silhouette that has rattled the media and - as some might argue - altered a contemporary perspective on the female form.

Nick Knight and artist Tino Kamal continue their collaborative working relationship with Kamal’s forthright music video Runaway. Runaway aims to shed new light on the harsh realities of knife crime in Britain's capital. There is a fatal knife attack every three days in London. There have been over 40,000 knife crimes in the UK in 2018 - a 16% rise from the previous year. With children as young as 13 years-old falling victim, systemic change is essential.
'My friend Tino was stabbed in broad daylight on a sunny afternoon in Chelsea, West London. No one rushed to help him, apprehend the attacker, or call the police. Tino realised that if he didn’t do anything he would bleed out and die there on the street. Luckily, he managed to get himself to the hospital on public transport. Tino wrote this track Runaway in the aftermath, as an honest reaction, with the message that you only have one life and it’s precious. I created this video with Tino in the hope that at least one viewer would be impacted and strong enough to turn the other cheek and shun violence - one less family to suffer the real and tragic heartbreak of such an awful and pointless loss.' - Nick Knight.

SHOWstudio presents Nick Knight and Tino Kamal's latest collaboration, London Kings. Representing the unruly ebullience inherent in Tino's unique personality and identity, London Kings employs themes of sex, art, nature and rebellion.
Styled by the inimitable Simon Foxton, Tino bends boundaries and warps his own identity in flamboyant, frilly dresses. The use of flour and paint-filled condoms are a comical nod within the dark aesthetic inherent to Knight's filmmaking. The combination of these elements play on traditional and historical notions of aristocracy, royalty and jest.
Edited by SHOWstudio's own Head of Fashion Film, Raquel Couceiro, the video allows Tino to explore his sense of self naked and in costume, exposing his trademark tattoos and covering them. The role of iconography is questioned through the animation of said tattoos; Tino's body speaks back. In his own words, he explains, 'I feel like the questions are never going to stop about my tats - if I didn’t have my tats I wouldn’t be Tino - it’s part of the foundation of my image, it is my image.
