LC: You started out in your career photographing skinheads. Unusual starting point for a fashion photographer, isn't it?
NK: Photography is a passport. I'm allowed into these situations because I'm a photographer. I could eventually photograph Robert De Niro because I have an exchange. Same with John Kennedy Jr., or some guy who lives off the council.
LC: But it's a big jump from photographing the angry, menacing faces of a skinhead moshpit to the slick seduction of fashion.
NK: It's just always been around me growing up. My teenage life was in Britain, where we have a strong dress code. It's very English to want to fit it fashion-wise. That was one of the reasons I photographed skinheads, because of the strict dress codes they have.
