The Full Shoot: Nick Knight x McQueen for AnOther Magazine

Extraordinary archive McQueen pieces from the 90s feature in Nick Knight's shoot for the latest issue of AnOther Magazine

February 19, 2015

Katy England and Nick Knight embrace the emotional energy of Alexander McQueen's early years in London in the extraordinarily powerful photographic tribute. England brought together incredibly rare archive pieces, borrowed from the V&A, many very generous individuals, and England's own personal collection for her and Knight's breathtaking story. As she explains to fashion features director Susannah Frankel, Lee "was an artist, presenting a dream, a story, a performance", and it's in this spirit that England and Knight push the image-making process in their approach to fashion.

The shoot accompanies Susannah Frankel's reflective essay on Lee McQueen. The S/S15 issue of AnOther Magazine is on sale now.
