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.

Caught on film during Nick Knight’s photo shoot for the 49th issue of Visionaire's 'Decades' collaboration back in June 2006, Ice Cream features London model Lily Donaldson wearing pieces from the Maison Martin Margiela Archive, posing with some of the season’s favourite ephemera – including a rhapsody of metallic balloons and a flurry of dry ice. 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.

As a Christmas treat SHOWstudio viewers had a unique opportunity to get to grips with the physicality of one of the most successful, beautiful and, er, topical of the Supermodels: Miss Naomi Campbell! Viewers watched Nick Knight scan that legendary hard body using cutting edge 3-D scanning technology live on set. The event was streamed on the SHOWstudio site, providing the chance to see the creation of fashion imagery, live in the making.

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.

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.

In May 2004, a complement of mystery guests were invited to participate
in this twenty-two-course meal, prepared by the gastronomic alchemist Heston Blumenthal and photographed by Nick Knight for a visually decadent W magazine shoot. Not only can you now listen in on the diners' conversations in the Audio Webcast, you can also see what's on their plates as they consume the challenging courses in the Interactive Menu. Coinciding with the magazine's publication, this broadcast finally revealed the secret identities of all celebrity diners present in a sequence of unseen pictures from the shoot. In a final flourish, Blumenthal generously offered the coveted recipe for his trademark Smoked Bacon and Egg icecream, available to you as a T-shirt or apron
design via the Recipe Download.

In this film contextualising couture for a W magazine shoot, the studio was not treated as the traditional, non-specific space, but as a blank canvas upon which surreal fashion performances could be staged.

You've desired them in the magazines. Stroked them in the shops. Now construct the key pieces from the Autumn/Winter '02 collections into your new look for the season using our dress-up-doll. Once you have styled one of four top models, you can send your fashion plate as a 'seasonal greetings card' to friends and family! Leading stylists Edward Enninful, Jonathan Kaye, Nancy Rohde and Panos Yiapannis selected their 'top ten' garments from the current fashion collections, which were interpreted by illustrator Yoko Ikeno.
