Kristen McMemany

published on 14 May 2014

While many of her peers in the 1990s epitomised the era's glamour and perfection, Kristen McMenamy stood out for her unapologetic defiance of conventional beauty standards. Characterised by her androgynous look, gaunt frame, and strong features, McMenamy's distinct beauty made her a favourite of avant-garde designers like Comme des Garçons and Alexander McQueen. Among her many relationships with the industry's top image-makers, McMenamy sits down with Nick Knight to share stories from shooting with legends like Richard Avedon, Peter Lindbergh, and more.
