F for Flowers: Nick Knight and Flora Starkey collaborate for Kim Jones' A Magazine issue

Dior Menswear Artistic Director Kim Jones curated the May 2019 issue of A Magazine Curated By, calling upon on a sentimental A-Z of his friends, collaborators, inspirations and loves to fill the pages. For the letter F, Jones tapped Nick Knight and floral artist Flora Starkey to capture the delicate elegance of his first show for Dior. Engulfing SHOWstudio in a floral perfume, Starkey's tulips, roses, cow parsley and lily of the valley - a Dior signature - created a poetic contrast to the model's powerful physique and form. The flowers' pale pinks and saccharine pastels mimicking the colour palette Jones chose for S/S 19. The making of Knight's images can be seen here in a short process film, edited by Myles Henrik Hall.
