Fashion Film: S.W.A.L.K

by Nick Knight, Raquel Couceiro, Myles Henrik Hall on 17 July 2020

This fashion film cum documentary is the final denouement of John Galliano's move to communicate the Maison Margiela A/W 20 couture collection digitally. Made in collaboration with SHOWstudio, a process documentary tinged with demonic presence intermingles with Knight's signature image manipulation, creating an enigmatic video piece that brings in such disparate references as the 80s club scene Blitz Kids, the veiled marble statues of the 1800s, and mysterious happenings in the Margiela atelier.
