The much anticipated Garage Magazine will release its first issue for Fall/Winter 2011. Named after the art space that founder Dasha Zhukova opened in 2008 in Moscow, nobody really knows what to expect from the fashion/art magazine, yet expectations are certainly high. The art director of German 032c magazine is also the new art director of Garage magazine and the three covers for the first issue, only hint at the high profile talent that the magazine managed to bring together for its first issue.

Artist Dinos Chapman worked with photographer Nick Knight, Hedi Slimane photographed a naked model (Shauna Taylor) having a Damien Hirst butterfly tattoo on her crotch, which is covered by a removable Damien Hirst butterfly sticker on the cover. And last but not least Richard Prince also created an artwork for the a third cover. A launch of the magazine is expected during New York Fashion Week 2011, early September.

Check out all three covers after the jump.

“Celebrating the breathtaking imagination and groundbreaking designs of Lee Alexander McQueen, the latest fashion film by Nick Knight pays tribute to McQueen’s sensational creations, stellar career, and most importantly to the man himself. Directed by Knight and set to an exclusive soundtrack by Björk, the film is featured online at SHOWstudio.com.”

Enjoy!

For Fall/Winter 2009 Alexander McQueen has once again worked with Puma on a collection. The new concept of “Crane vs. Tiger” has been developed by the fashion designer in collaboration with fashion photographer Nick Knight. The boxing theme is apparent through-out the entire collection. Check out here below the seasonal video.

With the soccer championships just around the corner, Nike launched a very interesting new project – Nike 1/1.
Nick Knight was chosen as the curator of the project. He chose 11 established talents in 11 countries in Europe to work with him. These associates invite artists in their countries to submit works on the topic “Art Of Football”. Then Nick Knight and the 1/1 associates select a short list of artists to present works on the topic. The 11 best pieces out of this section are chosen to exhibit in Basel during Art Basel this summer. One final winner will also see his artwork appear on a limited edition series of Nike Dunks and furthermore the best works overall will be published in the 1/1 Art Book.
A great project. We are already curious what the results will be. We will be reporting more in the near future on the project.
Anybody can participate and send in work. All you have to do is go to the dedicated website of the project.
