ikon-1 is Nick Knight’s first ever collection of NFTs, created in collaboration with friend and muse Jazzelle Zanaughtti. This groundbreaking project, aiming to push the boundaries of image-making and challenge the ways in which fashion is communicated in digital realms, resulted in 8000 unique NFT artworks, depicting photorealistic digital renders of the creative polymath Jazzelle wearing one-of-a-kind fashion created by over 30 creatives, styled with hair art by Eugene Souleiman and nails by Marian Newman.
To celebrate the minting of this first collection of digital collectables, SHOWstudio has launched Illustrating ikons. A physical space that brings the digital realm in which ikon-1 operates to life, by displaying a series of films documenting an exclusive look into the behind-the-scenes process, artefacts created on set and a collection of artworks by more than 10 contemporary illustrators who have transformed some of these digital designs into one-of-a-kind art pieces in their distinctive styles.
