Business Of Fashion’s Imran Amed Talks To Nick Knight

Via Business of Fashion:

Ten years ago at 19:27 GMT on 27 November 2000, at a time before streaming runway shows, before Facebook, before YouTube, before the rise of Web 2.0 itself, Nick Knight’s transformative fashion website SHOWstudio.com went live. Mr. Knight, a boundary-breaking fashion photographer, had considered the internet and saw something that others did not: where many in the industry saw only ugliness and risk, he saw the potential for emotion, connection and opportunity. Crucially, he also understood that digital — inherently active, social, transparent and restless — would fundamentally transform the “closed” fashion system and radically change the way fashion media was created and consumed. While others averted their eyes, Nick  Knight set about catalysing the revolution.”

In front  of an audience of 200,  Nick Knight  shares his thoughts on fashion, Showstudio and much more. The conversation even became a trending topic on Twitter!
