Nick Knight Makes a Statement
Top photographer Nick Knight finally (surprise surprise shock horror!) makes a very bold and very ferosh statement about the whole racism in fashion issue. Check out this fierce movie at Showtudio featuring Naomi Campbell with guns, in Rodarte, no less.
Fascinating. Don’t forget to read the comments section as well. Interesting insight from the man himself.
“I have tried the’ going on strike’ tactic and all that happens is the job goes to somebody else and I no longer have any influence. Like all strikes it only works if everyone does it and sadly I can’t see that happening in this industry.“
– Nick Knight
Well… you know what they say… it’s better late than never. I love Nick Knight!
i’d be terrified to see naomi with a gun. look what she can do with a mere cellphone. this is disturbing..
That pretty much owns the timid article addressing the same issue in Vogue.
Good for him for taking a strong stand!

I don’t think you’ll meet the targets by publishing a black issue of Vogue, that will just draw attention to social stereotypes; on the other hand, people will become more conscious of the whole issue. It’s good to see things changing, though; in this era of eastern, flawless skinned-, blonde models, some ethnic models have started to arise – girls like Jordan Dunn and Lakshmi Menon are the hit of the upcoming season.
