WONDERLAND
Helen Storey
A product of a groundbreaking exploration of chemically-fabricated, biodegradable materials by the artist and fashion designer Helen Storey and the scientist Tony Ryan, 'Wonderland' uses fashion as a 'trojan horse' to demonstrate radical scientific findings. From 29 January–29 February 2008, Storey will construct her first fashion collection in 12 years, in front of a live audience. These garments are designed to deconstruct over time in water and this amazing quality will be showcased during the residency, during which time SHOWstudio will document the full process in picture diaries and live webcasts. When the collection is completed, our task will then be to photograph the garments in a live shoot in Spring to document their design and appearance before dissolving them for a film that will showcase their miraculous scientific secret.

COLLECTION HOMME A/W 2008-09
Yves Saint Laurent
To show his Autumn/Winter 2008 menswear collection for Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche, creative director Stefano Pilati broke the mould of the traditional catwalk show by presenting his collection via film. Originally displayed on a triptych of screens, the film plays across three frames of action and is here shown in its entirety. Romantic, ethereal and yet technologically complex, the film manages to evoke the twin dynamics of familiarity and formality and the tension of old and new constantly at play in Pilati’s offerings for men.

080 BARCELONA
Andrew Gow
It has been said that Catalonia’s longstanding separatist identity is best characterised by its offerings to the creative arts. The capital, Barcelona, has been ascribed a design temperament at odds with the rest of Spain – a mixture of ‘Reason and Craziness,’ Seny i Rauxa, that delights in the biomorphic forms of art-nouveau and surrealism yet which maintains an unwavering reputation for technical excellence. Fashion has been central to Barcelona’s mercantile history since the end of the eighteenth century with its textile industry maintaining it as a hub for high quality clothing production. From the 9th to the 11th July Andrew Gow will be there offering coverage of the city's fashion week.

THE NOMINEES
Nick Knight
For the 2007 CFDA Awards, America’s most prestigious fashion awards ceremony, Nick Knight was asked to make a film featuring the nominees for the Best Womenswear Designer category, a list that included Marc Jacobs, Proenza Schouler and Oscar de la Renta. On Friday 20 April SHOWstudio broadcasted the making of the film from a London-based studio, starring model Agyness Deyn who wore creations from each designer’s last two seasons’ collections. The finished film was later shown on the SHOWstudio website at the time of the CFDA awards ceremony in June.

SKIN
&Son. (Simon Foxton/Nick Griffiths)
Skin was an undertaking by the company &Son, the creative consultancy run by stylists Simon Foxton and Nick Griffiths; a commercial project that rethought traditional advertising using motion image. Ten models from a range of mixed ethnic backgrounds -five male and five female- were filmed wearing pieces from adidas’s new ‘Materials of the World’ line, a collection influenced by the indigenous fabrics of different world cultures. Over a period of ten days beginning on May 10, the living portraits were also displayed in the windows of a Curtain Road shop front in London’s Shoreditch where the attention of passers by was tested to register that it was film and not stills that were seeing. In this sense, Skin was a subtle development out of Simon Foxton's previous Sittings: Thirty Men project of 2005 and a handsome addition to SHOWstudio's ongoing study of living fashion portraiture.

LE MAUVAIS GARCON
John Galliano
In this exclusive film for SHOWstudio, John Galliano lets us in on how he really makes his fashions. With Morgane Dubled starring as la merveilleuse ingénue and Monsieur Galliano as the eponymous mauvais garcon, witness the creative process of the atelier in all its histrionic glory before the showing of his A/W ’07 collection. Doctored with cigarette burns and jaundiced film reel for a straight-from-the-archive-shelf charm, this self-effacing film re-enacts the common mythologies that enshroud the figure of the fashion designer: as a fastidious creator of clothing and fantasy. Toying with many of these received ideas, the film is made in the parodic style that M. Galliano does better than anyone else.

Watch the movie, edited by Ruth Hogben, to see how fashion’s current preoccupations with hard luminosity and liquescence are brought to life in another of our moving fashion montages and see the gallery for the prints that appeared in the magazine last summer.

BEASTING
Nick Knight/Simon Foxton
Invited by Arena Hommes + magazine to photograph the highlights of John Galliano’s outlandish Autumn/Winter ’07-8 collection, Nick Knight and Simon Foxton were in the studio over two days, staging one of the explosive action shoots that are the hallmark of their longstanding creative collaboration. From 11:00hrs (UK time), the cameras streamed live coverage of Galliano’s prehistoric fashions, giving those with a penchant for woolen Minotaurs, skintight briefs and Samurai swordsmen an opportunity to indulge their tastes for the primeval and the preposterous in equal measure.

BAL MASQUÉ
Nick Knight
Nick Knight was chosen to receive the prestigious Möet & Chandon Fashion Tribute 2006. To mark the occasion, he staged a lavish and spectacular Masked Ball on Tuesday 24th October. The event was attended by a wealth of international personalities from the world of fashion, photography, film, music, and art who had worked with Nick throughout his 25+ year career. The full proceedings were broadcast live on SHOWstudio and the run up to the event was documented in detail on the site. Nick challenged ten designers and one stylist with whom he had worked most closely to design an outfit, complete with mask for a ‘muse’ of their choosing, who would wear it to the ball. In addition, there was a unique opportunity for two SHOWstudio viewers to win a much-coveted ticket by designing an outfit and mask for our ‘You Shall Go to the Ball’ competition. All twelve designs were auctioned after the event, with proceeds going The Princes Trust.

TWELVE DAYS
Nick Knight/Gemma Ward/Giles Deacon/Christopher Kane/Marios Schwab/Rebecca & Mike/Fred Butler/Paul Bruty/Simon Foxton/Alexis Marguerite Teplin
Over three days, 7, 8 & 11 December 2006 twelve friends of SHOWstudio came down to the live space to create one of 12 Days of Christmas videos, each decorating a Nick Knight silhouette of Gemma Ward with Swarovski crystal. In addition to webcasting the live event, each contribution was filmed from above and the footage was edited into a special film that was offered on SHOWstudio on each of the twelve days of Christmas (26 December – 6 January). Starting 7 December, set up day, viewers watched inspired hands at work to get a sneak preview of the final result.

TOKYO STYLE CLASH
Tokyo Style Clash was your chance to battle it out and really see if you were 'HOT or NOT?'. From the 14th until the 16th October, a roster of photographers were set up in the front window of BEAMS' store in Harajuku, Shibuya-Ku, Tokyo, waiting to take the portraits of anyone who thought they might be a style contender! All photographs were then used to create an interactive game to be played on SHOWstudio by our viewers and an invited panel including Undercover designer Jun Takahashi, Nick Knight, great Dane Peter Jensen, model Lily Cole and Paris fashion princess Sarah Colette. So it was over to our celebrity panel and the SHOWstudio viewers to play the game to decide who really had the hottest look in Tokyo!!

SHOW REPORTS S/S '07 (London/Milan/Paris)
Penny Martin, Laura Bradley
The shows, the 're-sees', the preposterous rumours and the parties: let the SHOWstudio picture phone be your guide as the team braved the queues at the biannual fashion collections. From 18 September until 8 October 2006, the team blogged the Spring/Summer '07 shows and all the fabulous fashion fuss and frippery that went with them.

FASH-OFF
Gareth Pugh, Eugene Souleiman, Alex Box
Fêted for his commitment to creating provocative spectacles over mundane, workaday clothes, controversial young designer Gareth Pugh used the SHOWstudio live platform to stage a series of performances to mark Couture Week, the first week of July 2006. Each representing his attitude towards the different aspects of his whirlwind fashion career thus far, the afternoon broadcasts focused on themes of boredom and repetition, artifice and multiple personae, high-octane glamour and the falsity of easily dealt acclaim. Of course, no Gareth Pugh project would be complete without the attendant, out-of-control party, which he he threw to open the series.

THE SOUND OF CLOTHES: ANECHOIC
Laura Bradley, Paul Hetherington, Nick Knight, Penny Martin, Ross Phillips, Zora Star
Anechoic is a 'collections story' project that used sound instead of visuals to interpret the essence of key garments from the A/W '06-7 season by leading fashion brands. A live recording session in a specialist recording studio -a hemi-anechoic chamber- on 1 June 2006 was used to create a series of groundbreaking interactives that for the first time in fashion media, detailed the precise sound of fashion materials such as feathers, sequins, glass crystals and beads, nylon, taffeta, leather, velvet, jacquard, zips and metallic chains. The live broadcast was also filmed, providing motion image footage of model Zora Star working in the unconventional, futuristic studio environment, which was then edited to create abstract shorts of each audio 'shot'.

THE SOUND OF CLOTHES: SYNAESTHESIA
Daniel Brown, Susannah Frankel, Nick Knight, Nick Ryan
During the shoot of a 'Balenciaga special' by Nick Knight for Pop magazine in November '05, digital artist Daniel Brown was invited on set to respond to Nicolas Ghesquiere's Spring/Summer '06 collection. Inspired by its delicately layered, translucent garments, Brown proposed a series of interactives based on the unpublished images from Knight's story (published in January '06). Using the notion of 'pictures for the blind' as a stimulus, a collaboration with synaesthete and sound designer Nick Ryan ensued, aiming to interpret the source garments and images through sound. Follow the project from its initial meetings and tests to the final interactive works below, as Brown guides you along via a series of intimate film blogs.

SHOWstudio was invited to create an event to mark Philip Treacy’s debut, A/W '06, collection in collaboration with British sports brand UMBRO. Drawing on historic, chronophotographic images by Eadweard Muybridge, Nick Knight and Judy Blame collected a colourful cast of dancers, gymnasts, Premiership footballers and iconic fashion models to stage a spectacular exploration of Treacy’s ‘luxury sportswear’ concept. Viewers had the chance to tune in on Thursday 2nd February 2006 and watch a balletic motion study, choreographed to an innovative musical score and which created the basis for a kinetic audio installation that was unveiled on 16 February during London Fashion Week.

An offshoot from our three-month MOVING FASHION project at the end of 2005, EDITING FASHION shifted the focus of SHOWstudio's ongoing exploration of fashion film from direction to the editing process and from established, guest artists to the SHOWstudio viewer base. For this, we offered a package of source material –including exclusive film footage shot by Nick Knight and a selection of possible soundtracks by guest artists- that could be downloaded and edited by SHOWstudio Viewers. Viewers were asked to make an edit from the material provided which lasted up to two minutes. By keeping the source material the same in all cases, the emphasis was kept on the individual editor’s approach and authorship. The finished films could then be uploaded onto SHOWstudio from mid-January 2006 and screened in the Viewers’ Cut gallery.
A second phase of this project saw a number of high-profile, internationally-based, professional editors from a range of different genres tackle the same footage to create a series of five-minute shorts in early 2006.

The printed page has determined the way fashion looks since women's magazines were first introduced. For over three centuries garments have appeared as if frozen still. Nick Knight's key motivation for founding SHOWstudio was to investigate the representation of clothing through sound and motion; perhaps the last great challenge in fashion image making.'Moving Fashion' aimed to exploit this exciting new opportunity through an in-depth study of fashion film.

Liberty Ross featured in a live, interactive photo shoot that was broadcast on SHOWstudio on June 28, 29 & 30 2005. Inspired by the live, pornographic video chats widely available on the web, the model was the focus of a free ‘feature show’ for which there was also a live video feed. Effectively, it acted as SHOWstudio’s interactive ‘collections story’ for the Autumn/Winter ’05-6 season.

SHELF APPEAL
Penny Martin
An artificial sweetener dispenser designed by Karl Lagerfeld, a hairbrush
whose bristles had been replaced by locks of human hair, coloured contact
lenses that sported the letters 'CD' across the iris: each of these fashion
curios occupied the weird territory between fashion garment and accessory,
making them qualify for SHELF APPEAL. For the bi-monthly 'Editor's Choice'
slot that ran from December 2003-4, Penny Martin selected her then current object of desire, got it into the SHOWstudio live space and gave it a good old written examination.

Shown in its second season as part of the hit showcase Fashion East, Richard Nicholl teamed up with photographer Jason Evans to create this sequence of intimate portrait images to demonstrate Nicholl's distinctive way of draping and twisting fabric. Intercut with moments of pure motion fun from Evans, the piece was the seventh in a series of very different approaches to fashion editorial using film, screened in relation to London Fashion Week S/S '05.

Jens Laugesen, Alistair McKimm
The title of Jen's Laugesen's Spring/Summer '05 collection (OUTSIZE 02: CMYK) gave some preparation for the uncharacteristic surprise of colour concluding the Danish designer's predominantly monochrome show. Whereas Laugesen's own design philosophy involves creating different, generic versions from the same aesthetic whole, filmmaker Jean-François Carly adopted a more narrative approach to recording the construction and execution of the catwalk show.
The only of Shows Film Week's shorts to venture backstage, the fourth in our series took a 'behind-the-scenes' look at the production of the fashion show itself.

SHOWS FILM WEEK S/S 2005: ANNE-SOFIE BACK
As visible shoulder pads, twisted denim dungarees and wet T-shirts that revealed red lace bras proceeded (in reverse order) down Ann-Sofie Back's S/S '05 catwalk, it was clear that this Swedish designer's antipathy to conventional representations of femininity was ongoing. As her peers made their money back on bankable, pretty accessories like dainty high heels and lady-like handbags, Ann-Sofie's broken sunglasses, slit bowler hats worn as necklaces and rope belts served to complicate already challenging visions of campus-girl imperfection.
How then, would she market that classic money-spinner, the fragrance? In a season that was peppered with scent adverts and launches-Dior's J'Adore, Chanel's No. 5, Viktor & Rolf's Flowerbomb-Ann-Sofie collaborated with photographer Benjamin Huseby to imagine the perfume campaign that could capture her brand's key values of subverted sophistication, awkwardness and hard-to-reach beauty. Were she ever to create a fragrance, that is.
The second in a week of films related to the recent Spring/Summer '05 collections, 'Sandra' unpacked this popular, pre-Christmas genre of fashion image-making with the quintessential self-awareness and wit that characterises an Ann-Sofie Back project.

SHOWS FILM WEEK S/S 2005: SWASH
Swash, Stephen White
Highlight of London Fashion Week S/S '05 for many, Swash's sunny, poplin prints and cheeky cut-out trousers brought a breath of fresh air to the catwalk and what's more, a welcome sense of humour. This film, The Hoteliers, showcased the collection that put them on the London schedule: a previous, capsule collection of motorcycle capes and trousers designed for the nineteenth Festival International des Arts de la Mode à Hyères prize, which they won in May 2004. Situating their characteristic, virtuoso tailoring, classic fabrics and fun print designs (by illustrator Yuko Kondo) in a fantastical, English pastoral setting, Stephen White's film short exemplified the growing trend for designers to present their garments in a motion image and sound context.
The first in a full week of films related to the recent Spring/Summer '05 collections, The Hoteliers represented this innovative way of re-imagining editorial fashion image-making.

GUISER
Leigh Bowery
Guiser presented a rare selection of original and previously unpublished material that looked at, listened to and wrote about the legendary figure Leigh Bowery. The extraordinary personage of Leigh Bowery has had an enormous influence on visual culture - across fashion, art, music and performance - and SHOWstudio wanted to celebrate this legacy. Guiser brought together previously unseen film footage of Bowery being photographed by Nick Knight, with unreleased sound material from 'Minty' demo tapes as a soundtrack. Also featured was an essay by one of Leigh's contemporaries, Donald Urquhart -whose own artistic output and creativity mirrors the breadth of Bowery's output, as well as intertwining creatively with it. Urquhart's text gave personal accounts of some of the posthumous events that have commemorated Leigh Bowery.

Seven London-based designers agreed to let our camera into their studios prior to the unveiling of their Spring/Summer '04 collections to document the various people and source materials that inspired them. Use these fascinating 'photo-joiners', fashioned in a 360-degree cycle, to peruse the private workspaces photographed.

Intimate, spontaneous, low-tech and informal. These are not words one might associate with the work of legendary photographic duo van Lamsweerde & Matadin. Not only did this film short reveal the more lighthearted aspects of their shoots, however, as Kate Moss re-enacts Michael Jackson's classic dance routine, it demonstrated the photographers' working process as van Lamsweerde audibly encourages Moss to strike the playful poses for which this partnership has become known.

FREEDOM OF LOVE
Brad Pitt
During a recent shoot for Vanity Fair, Nick Knight created a number of
on-set scenarios for intriguing visual and aural actions for subject Brad
Pitt to perform, so as to engage the actor in 'pique' performance. 'Freedom
of Love' is a short film which captured Pitt in action during the shoot,
energetically painting onto a huge blow up of his own face, and adding
caption, and contemplatively reading surrealist poetry. Pitt reads from
André Breton's poem 'Freedom of Love', a one stanza, sixty-line homage to his wife. The poem cites a beautiful litany of comparisons for her physical attributes, deftly playing with language that eludes any commonplace romantic imaging, instead presenting uncanny metaphors. Breton was the provocative, passionate leader of the avant-garde literary and artistic movement Surrealism, who believed in 'revolution of the mind', and in the 'marvellous' - dazzling combinations of words or visual images,
spontaneously created by automatic processes of the mind.- Movie Last updated 10 Jun 2004

POWER OF WITCHES
Comme des Gar�ons
Legendary designer Rei Kawakubo opened up her highly intellectual creative process for consideration in this unprecedented collaboration with SHOWstudio. Following the production of a photographic shoot from its inception to its delivery to Another Magazine for its September issue, this project demonstrated how the many creatives involved in making fashion imagery responded to the overarching conceptual direction of the celebrated Comme des Garçons visionary.
For the initial, three-day phase of the project, photographer Nick Knight and stylist Alister Mackie interpreted the emotional theatre of the Autumn/Winter '04 Commes des Garçons collection with its attenuated jacket sleeves. From there, follow the post-production of the resultant photographs in a dialogue between Knight and his imaging collaborator Allan Finamore as they extended the visual parameters of the pictures taken on set via digital manipulation. Finally, Kawakubo added the 'hand of the artist', imbuing the final images with her individual response to them.
A live discussion forum ran throughout the project, giving SHOWstudio viewers the opportunity to ask questions of the creatives active during each stage.
