“It was this Tumblr full of slightly strange images”, Knight says now. “It was a lot to do with death, a lot to do with sex and a lot to do with fashion. There were some abstract ones.

She’s got a very distinctive face, an unconventional beauty. And people wrote quite savage things to her. ‘What’s wrong with your face?’ That sort of thing. But she was putting herself out there, answering those comments. Her answers felt fast, open and vulnerable but at the same time tough. So I thought she’d be really good. I’m going to write to her.”
