Kate is part of the collection, Icons & Faded Glory which features beautiful and mesmerising portraits of Kirk Douglas and the late Natalie Wood, Steve McQueen and Marilyn Monroe, among others. He said: “I have tried to capture these incredibly well-known people in less than obvious poses “For example, the image of Marilyn Monroe really shows the haunted look she had in her eyes later in her life. “We always think of her as voluptuous and cheeky, but here she looks thin and almost haunted.” Just as he did with his 2015 collection, Nick has presented his subjects in a quirky and intelligent new light, admitting to a fascination with fading beauty. He said: “I think beauty fades more rapidly the more beautiful you are, but all of these characters had a presence and a quality that was undefinable but always seductive. “Take Steve McQueen for example, he was just the coolest man that ever lived.”
