The 45 minute session was moderated by Alex Marashian, Editor-at-Large for AnOther Magazine.
The discussion centered around the nature of cutting edge imagery and the inter-relations between Design, Technology and Fashion. Knight explained that the primary motivation for the campaign visual was, „To get people thinking about this car… to get a sense the future has just arrived. For me, the term ‚cutting edge’ indicates something I haven’t seen before. I found the sense of freedom it represents to be seductive – almost like being able to fly.“
