Today marks the publication of Nick Knight's eponymous retrospective tome - a whirlwind look at the last fifteen years of his work, from Alexander McQueen, John Galliano and Christian Dior to Cindy Crawford and Kate Moss. Packed into 264 pages of layout (designed by our very own Paul Hetherington), alongside an introductory essay by esteemed curator Charlotte Cotton, is a collection of the most important, influential and beautiful (conventional and otherwise) images of the latter part of Nick's career. Naturally, each and every photograph was meticulously selected and perfected by Nick himself - indeed, as reported in today's Independent, Nick forsook a break this summer to travel to China and oversee the book's printing to ensure the quality was exactly right. Just to prove it, the video above was shot by Nick himself while the first copies were coming off the presses at HarperCollins.
