We love Nick Knight. And we love Elisa Sednaoui.
So we’re excited about Giorgio Armani‘s spring advertising campaign, which will first appear in the February glossies. Knight shot the model/muse in London, according to WWD.
Spring is shaping up to be one of the most hotly anticipated ad seasons we’ve experienced in ages. Other spreads we’re excited about:
LONDON–Nick Knight, legendary fashion photographer and director of medium-shattering SHOWstudio gave a rare, live-streamed interview with the Business of Fashion‘s Imran Amed at London’s members-only Hospital Club on Friday, the eve before SHOWstudio’s 10th birthday. In the third installment of BoF’s “Fashion Pioneers” interview series, Knight explains how he grew from an underachieving pre-med schoolboy into an arrogant box-fresh fashion photographer, dead set on turning the entire medium on its head.

LONDON–Fashion photography legend and multimedia pioneer Nick Knight opened the doors to his London-based creative lair once again last weekend for Showstudio‘s exhibition Inside/Out, a look at the use of abject imagery as a way of externalizing what goes on within us. Knight’s endless collaborations with stylists, artists, musicians and designers continues to tear at the barriers between fine art and fashion, the process and the consumer, this time throwing a piercing eye at the human experience.
Curated with the help of London newcomer Carrie Scott, Inside/Out includes works by fellow visionaries and fashion frequenters Marilyn Minter, Terence Koh, Arianna Page Russell, and Alister Mackie, among others. On display were photos, video, and sculptural artifacts from Knight’s previous shoots including glass orb slippers, men’s lace lingerie and a urinal displayed on a windowsill, which Lady Gaga promptly put to use to the surprise of passersby, then thoughtfully signed before making her exit.
