Nick Knight and Jane How

Sweet

Here's something we made earlier: stylist Jane How recreated her favourite looks of Spring/Summer 2000 from sweet papers, cupcake wrappers and doilies, Nick Knight recording the result on a 3-D scanner. A technological exploration of the frontiers of fashion imagery, presented here through fashion film, photography and a series of interactives.

About

Arising from Nick Knight’s earliest (and ongoing) experimentation with 3-D imaging technologies, Sweet uses stylist Jane How’s foil and cellophane sweetie wrapper recreations of Spring/Summer 2000 ready-to-wear collections to record intriguing ‘landscapes’ of 360-degree images using a CT head scanner.

The gentle naivety of the confectionery packaging is intentionally offset against the latest cutting edge technology, with its malevolent Sci-fi connotations. Rotate through a series of unique interactive three-dimensional images charting How’s elaborate interpretations of garments by designers including Hussein Chalayan, Comme des Garçons, Thierry Mugler and Yohji Yamamoto.

These truly one-off looks are also examined in a series of images, an essay by Susannah Frankel and a fashion film set it to a musicbox soundtrack by Fridge.
