With the closing of the Alexander McQueen retrospective Savage Beauty at the Victoria and Albert Museum yesterday, fashion photographer Nick Knight has released a tribute of his own. Knight, a longtime McQueen collaborator whose relationship with the late designer spanned 14 years, dug into the archives of their work together to create a haunting short film using previously unseen footage from 2010's "To Lee, With Love, Nick." With curation by current McQueen creative director Sarah Burton and input from W's Fashion & Style Director Edward Enninful, the famous duck feather dress makes an appearance (but the armadillo boots, sadly, do not) in a film that's a surreal, mesmerizing look at the best work of a brilliant mind gone too soon. Watch it above.
