White Wedding... Starring Kate Moss as a bride to be who has a last minute change of heart...
In this series of six visually stunning short films by Nick Knight we see the demise of a bride's 'big day' and the metamorphosis that takes her from 'beautiful blushing bride' to 'rebellious hell raiser'...
Nick Knight- Artists & Photographer
'I was excited to shoot the White Wedding campaign as I believe the internet has taken over from magazines as a place to see exciting fashion. Viewer numbers are so much greater online than in print and fashion film, as opposed to fashion photography, is the best way to sell clothes today.
Using live broadcasting and mobile phone blogging to show the process of making the White Wedding campaign, SHOWstudio then crafted six films that visually explore Joe Corre's narrative in surreal and highly original ways. Agent Provocateur and SHOWstudio have worked together to create a campaign that takes full advantage of the exciting new possibilities offered by communicating across the internet'
Joe Corré- Creative Director / Founder of Agent Provocateur
'I wanted to launch our new bridal collection with a story that raised the question of the purity of the church and other such institutions that validate marriage, yet also to use it as a metaphor for the wider question of how our lives are controlled.
To convey this idea through a series of 6 images was obviously a challenge but one that happily Nick found exciting, and through his artistic interpretation of our narrative he has produced a collection of films and stills that are both beautiful and engaging and that I am very proud to add to Agent Provocateur's archive of work.
Kate- who is the most brave and beautiful model alive, brought this narrative to life. She was the perfect choice for this campaign because she always delivers a great performance and isn't afraid of controversy.
People are fascinated by Kate because she is so enigmatic, she never speaks out and as a result of that she is authentic in a world where everybody else is so fake'

Once again - Allegations that Kate Moss has been dropped as the face of Agent Provocateur are completely inaccurate. We worked with Kate 2 years ago on our 'Miss X' lingerie campaign which was shot by Director Mike Figgis, the campaign was so successful - crashing our website with the huge influx of visitors, so obviously we could not wait to work with her again.
This time Kate has been signed for a 1 year contract as the face of our bridal collection 'White Wedding' The pictures were taken by visionary photographer Nick Knight,....we are one month into the campaign and it has proved the most successful campaign we have ever done!
On a completely different note we recently shot a series of images for our mainline collection (Launching September) that will feature a whole host of British and international beauties, it is far too early for us to confirm who these girls will be. Just watch this space!
