About this episode

Legendary image-maker Nick Knight sits down with us to share his unfiltered insights on the future of fashion.


From the revolutionary impact of AI in fashion to reflections on icons like Alexander McQueen and Martin Margiela, Nick offers a behind-the-scenes perspective you won't hear anywhere else


We dive deep into the current state of fashion weeks — questioning their relevance, evolution, and cultural value in today's digital-first world.


Nick also opens up about the real business challenges the UK fashion industry faces in the post-Brexit landscape, giving you a full 360° view of the creative and commercial forces reshaping the fashion world right now.


Plus, we explore his groundbreaking work with SHOWstudio, live-streaming fashion shows before anyone else dared, and the importance of collaborative work between creatives.

If you're passionate about the future of fashion, the intersection of art and technology, and the business realities of creative industries, this interview is essential viewing.


Nick is the first guest part of these new special eps I am introducing on The Archives: I’ve been wanting to take podcast to the next level for a while now. not just where i talk but a real space where we can listen, learn, and grow together.


behind the scenes, i’ve been working on bringing guests on.

people I meet along the way that i think we can actually learn from — not just about the art and craft of fashion, but about building careers, making mistakes, navigating the chaos of this industry.this new chapter is for us.for the ones who are curious, hungry, restless.

I’ve selected different guests with different journeys — journalists, vintage curators, entrepreneurs, photographers —

so that wherever you are on your path, you’ll find something that clicks. something that sticks with you.

something you can use.


this is a MEGA dream for me — not just to talk about fashion, but to create a space where we question it, learn from it, and build our own version of it.honored and humbled to have Nick as my first guest!!!!🖤


im hungry for your feedback!!!!!
