As the world went into lockdown and the masses turned to communicate via video calls, Nick Knight took on the challenge of creating a fashion story over the video conferencing platform Zoom. Joined by models of the moment Bella Hadid, Fran Summers, Anok Yai, Jill Kortleve, Ugbad Abdi, Xiao Wen Ju, Abby Champion and Lulu Tenney - who all wear standout gowns from the A/W 20 season - Knight once again changes the face of fashion image-making.

Captured on their laptops, the models were directed throughout by a dream team including stylist Kate Phelan, make-up artist Val Garland and hairstylist Sam McKnight who all worked their magic from afar. In a series of stills taken for British Vogue's August 2020 issue, fantastical creations by Chanel, Alexander McQueen, Molly Goddard, Fendi and more are brought to life.

In an exclusive film made for SHOWstudio, the process behind navigating the shoot is revealed, from the models receiving boxes containing their chosen looks, to being directed by the team in their living rooms, gardens and bedrooms as they create a modern fashion story from home.
