EARTH MAGIC- Nick Knight

I found this video pretty interesting, the artistical form of the video inspired me, for my school's projects in Fashion design... I will show you some works very soon.



'There was no script. I simply told people I wanted to film my subconscious.' That is director Joseph Lally's summary of his latest film Earth Magic, an art piece exclusively revealed on SHOWstudio and starring a cast of models and actors including Daphne Guinness Jamie Bochert, Sebastian Sauvé and Erik Sage. Eschewing conventional narrative in favour of striking aesthetics, Earth Magic juxtaposes ideas of covert operations and brainwashing with Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream.

This is what he did for Gareth Pugh's collection S|S 12:


This video largely inspired me. Nick Night is not only a photographer, it is a real genius of the image. We can clearly see that they are the references as well as the influences of the creator.
