Portent, by Nick Knight
While we celebrate Kris Van Assche’s A#7 for December, it is wonderful to discover the work of our past curators (including Kris) collected together in different and exciting ways.
As such, today we present an abstract showcase of the Fall Winter 2009 collections from TheCorner.com by acclaimed British fashion photographer and filmmaker Nick Knight and ShowStudio. Entitled ‘Portent’, the film is a series of short sequences shown in ornate baroque frames, as a dreamy heroine’s wardrobe shifts from designer to designer, beginning with a look from Kris Van Assche.
Through the piece – as she reclines on a plush chaise, plucks sad petals from a flower or poses delicately by candlelight – the model wears outfits from A#1′s Maison Martin Margiela, A#2′s Haider Ackermann and past contributors Rick Owens, Raf Simons and Ann Demeulemeester. With a glimpse from the early days of the ‘A’ story, Hussein Chalayan (from NºC) and Viktor & Rolf (NºE) are also featured. Each designer provides a dramatic and sensual silhouette – with Knight’s soft and shadowy atmosphere emphasizing the texture and sheen of TheCorner.com’s handpicked selection.
