Visionaire 27 Movement

27 MOVEMENT, one of our most conceptual themes, is based on the abstract notion of movement. The images are printed on vellum, a nearly transparent material that enhances the stop-motion effects of the photographs. We used lenticular photography to create the 3D images on the front and back covers of Kate Moss swaying back and forth. These images were created by an all-English team: Nick Knight shot the photography, Peter Saville directed the art, and Alexander McQueen and Katy England did the styling – which made perfect sense when we launched the issue at Harvey Nichols in London. Other contributors included designers Martin Margiela and Hussein Chalayan, artists Ross Bleckner and Tony Oursler, illustrator FranÁois Berthoud, and photographers Steven Meisel and Steven Klein.
