Dazed Digital caught up with Nicholas Kirkwood to discuss his new role. See full interview here.
In late 2008 Nicholas Kirkwood was appointed creative director of Pollini, replacing Jonathan Saunders. “When I took on this position, I didn’t have the full season to prepare the SS11 collection, so I decided to focus on two things that I thought could make a difference, one being to define some of the structures that would become signature silhouettes for seasons to come, and the second to work with ready-to-wear designers I believed in, collaborating on their fashion show shoes.”
To honor his idea of collaborating with designers, Kirkwood has launched the Pollini ‘Forward Designer’ Project, a unique collaboration where five select designers had shoes for their SS11 shows produced by the brand. Those involved included Preen, Manish Arora, Meadham Kirchoff, Louise Gray and Michael Van Der Ham.

beautiful work! posters for posterity!2
I like it. And it grabbed your attention esp. if you posted a comment below. whether you love it or hate I don't see anything where it promotes violence or degrading women.. what i see is government taking away the rights of a citizen n the rights away from people. Failure to follow instructions will land us in prison like the model. Now if steven photographed the same concept with average shmucks would we pay much attention to it? i dont think so. it'd be just another political journalistic photograph.3
