Past, Present & Couture

Launched on 02 March 2002

To mark John Galliano's fifth year at Christian Dior, Nick Knight staged a spectacular five-day shoot, offering the opportunity to reveal the ‘blood and guts’ of the process of creating a set of virtuoso photographs. The designer selected outfits to represent each of the haute couture collections he had created for Dior from Spring/Summer 1997 to Spring/Summer 2002 and chose his favourite couture models - including Karen Elson, Liberty Ross and Stella Tennant, Erin O’Connor and Alek Wek - to bring each look to life.
