Moving Fashion

The printed page has determined the way fashion looks since women’s magazines were first introduced. For over three centuries, garments have appeared as if frozen still. Nick Knight’s key motivation for founding SHOWstudio was to investigate the representation of clothing through sound and motion; perhaps the last great challenge in fashion image making. Moving Fashion aimed to exploit this exciting new opportunity through an in-depth study of fashion film.

Knight issued a simple brief to some of fashion’s leading industry figures: to create a 30 second films featuring a moving garment from the Autumn/Winter 2005 collections. Participants including Kate Moss, David Bailey, Linda Evangelista, Stella McCartney, Steven Klein and John Galliano experimented with the theme of Moving Fashion – conjointly producing ‘a collections story brought to life.’

Provocative, cinematic, and often highly charged, Steven Klein’s fashion photographs and celebrity portraits might suggest a creative force with a brash persona to match. But with images that articulate so much, the soft-spoken Klein doesn’t need to deliver shocking declarations. He does, however, make one assertion that might be considered radical—even sacrilegious—on Long Island’s East End: “White and green is not a great color combination,” he says, casually renouncing a virtual bedrock of traditional Hamptons decorating. “Something about those colors is just wrong. I would never put them together.”

Here are some photos taken by him in 2020:
