published on 12 December 2016

As the supermodel era came to an end in the 1990s a new wave of 'anti-supermodels' appeared with Amber Valletta and Shalom Harlow at the forefront. While the distinction initially stemmed from aesthetic and a personal commitment to social and environmental issues, after working with the biggest photographers of the day Valletta quickly solidified her status as being just as super as the rest. Sitting with Nick Knight, Valletta discusses her iconic work with Richard Avedon, Glen Luchford and more.
