“It’s not about making art for the love of it and making art just for the finances. There are very few things these days that aren’t businesses,” said Nick. This includes being able to be creative and sharing money with all partners. To do this, Icon-1 will share profits with its most important creative partners and pay all of its other active contributors. Knight says that Jazel is a good example of this new participatory zeitgeist because he is good at changing his own image. Cecil Beaton, Richard Avedon, and Irving Penn were once good examples of this shift. For example, how to work with well-known photographers like Helmut Newton. “They almost all said the same thing: ‘We had no control. We had no voice. We weren’t a part of this.’ I think it’s a sea change now.”

Thinks about the past. “I wasn’t really a factor in meeting 30 new fashion designers; it’s like Fashion Week in a way – it’s a big offering of people’s vision… I’m trying to do it through Icon-1. wanted to achieve. It’s a gift, you know, it’s an offering. And it’s really just the first step in so many other exciting things.”
He is worried about how this first project will be received right now, but he thinks that just trying is a success. This way of thinking is more common in tech companies, which thrive on mistakes and changes, than in luxury fashion, where perfection is expected all the time. “I think the whole creative process is full of your own mistakes and failures, but that’s what makes us human, you know? But every mistake is a new opportunity.”
