We’ve been following Nick Knight’s impressive work for some time now from his “White Wedding” campaign for Agent Provocateur to Nike’s “Art of Football” competition. Knight’s most recent work includes shooting the new Autumn/Winter 2008-09 campaign for Bottega Veneta, a brand known for working with artistic photographers including Annie Leibovitz and Philip-Lorca de Corcia. When asked how Knight was chosen as the campaign’s photographer,
Bottega Veneta’s creative director Tomas Maier chose Knight for his “sense of adventure”, explaining that: “Nick emphasises the process of creating images, which is similar to the way I approach design.”
As Nick Knight is known to do, the images are “digitally manipulated to create a striking composition that hints at a narrative” and can be see online this fall along with a short video.

Agent Provocateur just released their new swimwear collection to keep you looking sexy poolside or on the beach. The swim suits evoke a very glamorous time, and have a retro, 1940s look to them. They’re the kind of suits I could see in an old synchronized swimming movie but much more modern, and in true AP fashion, much sexier. The details are great like the chain/charm details, ruching in all the right places, halter necklines, contrast prints (leopard!), bows, ruffles and even arm bands (think old Chiquita Banana). Now I just need to find a swimming cap to match! You can purchase the swim suits online.

People cannot get enough of Kate Moss. Her face is emblazoned on many a t-shirt and she’s been the face of a number of companies including David Yurman, Rimmel, Agent Provocateur, Chanel Coco Mademoiselle and YSL, along with having her own line at Topshop and her own fragrance. This fall she will also be the face of Donna Karan’s Fall 2008 collection which brings to life “the glamour of the Orient Express.” The campaign was shot in LA’s beautiful, historic Union Street station and is about “the woman on the go.” I think Kate Moss is a beautiful style icon but I wonder if consumers will ever get tired of her, or can distinguish between the products she promotes? At what point is it confusing for consumers to see the same face repping everything from Topshop to YSL? Is there any confusion of brands, messages and styles? Does this generation need a new icon/role model that is more than just a pretty face?

We’ve seen a rise in the adoption of film and video in portraying fashion campaigns. A few weeks back we reported on videos for Spring & Clifton and Agent Provocateur. We just got word of some other fashion videos that you may get a kick out of.
The first one is very funny and a bit naughty but has to do with “shoe love.”
This one from Prada is gorgeous and does a great job of using the imagery to highlight themes and pieces from the collection.
Happy Viewing! I’m sure we can expect to see more of these popping up. I don’t know about you but I like this trend and see it as a whole new canvas for fashion companies to work with. I’m excited to see what’s to come!
For the launch of it’s new bridal range, White Wedding, Agent Provocateur chose SHOWstudio to develop and create the narrative advertising campaign. Based on a six-part script that AP founder Joe Corré wrote about “the demise of a bride’s ‘big day’ and . . . the unravelling of the religious organisation behind it”, SHOWstudio created photo stills and an experimental series of films “depicting Kate Moss running the gamut from demure virgin bride to dangerous, Lynchian siren.” Each day, one of the parts of the film series are publicized here. I’ve seen the first two and they are enchanting and haunting at the same time. Kate Moss looks beautiful as ever, though it is funny to see her as a bride. As a whole the I think the campaign is a huge success and I’ve always thought AP has done an excellent job of conveying the image and meaning behind their brand. The eagle-eyed among you will note that these are not the first AP films that Kate Moss has starred in: Back in 2006 we reported that Ms. Moss was featured in the Dreams of Miss X. I’ve seen a lot more “fashion/advertising” films lately and I think they are a great new way to give life to the clothing and the brand behind it. I’m excited to see more! The films release each day here from Friday 2nd–Wednesday 7th May 2008 at 18:00hrs UK time.
You should also explore the AP site as there is a forum, and wallpaper downloads. You can even live webchat with Agent Provocateur’s Co Founder and Creative Director Joe Corré on May 12th, 2pm-3:30 pm (UK time) at agentprovocateur.com, or send in your questions in advance to webchat@agentprovocateur.com.
