Believing fashion to be intrinsically political, Nick Knight is staging a multi-level film project, encouraging creatives to use the medium of fashion to convey their political beliefs, agendas and thoughts. From the beginning of December 2007, the first stage of 'Political Fashion Films' invites visitors to the SHOWstudio website to submit a film of between 30 seconds and 3 minutes that articulates some kind of political point using fashion. Inkeeping with previous film seasons 'Moving Fashion' and 'Editing Fashion', in February 2008, this invitation will be opened up to a wide selection of fashion industry, art world and celebrity figures, whose Political Fashion Films created to the same brief will also be broadcast on the SHOWstudio website, one film per weekday. The end of the project will be marked by a screening event to be held in London during Spring 2008. All films received before Friday 15 February 2008 will be considered for inclusion.

Nick Knight/Joseph Corré/Kate Moss/Jake & Dinos Chapman/Gideon Ponte/Ruth Hogben
The product of a grand collaboration with lingerie giant Agent Provocateur to mark the launch of their bridal range, 'White Wedding' is a groundbreaking exploration in extending a narrative advertising campaign to also create an experimental film series. Responding to a six-part script treatment written by Agent Provocateur founder Joe Corré, Nick Knight and a stellar cast including Kate Moss and artists Jake and Dinos Chapman have created six striking campaign stills that storyboard "the demise of a bride's 'big day' and serialise the unravelling of the religious organisation behind it".
From film footage captured whilst shooting the six shots entitled 'The Happiest Day of Her Life', 'The Garden of Eden', 'Bad News', 'Frenzy', 'Revenge' and 'Let Them Eat Kate', Nick Knight has pushed each image into new visual territories, projecting motion imagery onto interpretative props and filming it, to capture this abstraction 'in camera', rather than in post production. The result is an intriguing set of stylish shorts depicting Kate Moss running the gamut from demure virgin bride to dangerous, Lynchian siren that suggests new applications and creative potential for fashion film in advertising.
Log on each night on to SHOWstudio from Friday 2nd–Wednesday 7th May 2008 at 18:00hrs UK time to watch the marital meltdown unfold.

An interactive video installation created in collaboration with Evian, The Replenishing Body consists of a giant grid of screens which can each record a short loop of film. Participants can create and orchestrate a giant composite moving creature, or simply a collage of moving snapshots by recording a close-up section of their body part. The Project will comprise two parts. First, guests will be invited to the studio to trial run the installation and film themselves in a series of abstract portraits. To commence the second part of the project, Sunday 16 September will see the installation move to Beyond the Valley gallery on Newburgh Street where SHOWstudio welcomes you to try the installation for yourselves.

Bjork/Nick Knight/Bernhard Willhelm
The release of a new Björk album can only mean two things: new musical territory, the likes of which the world has never experienced, and a cover image to match. 'Volta', Björk’s sixth studio album, was released on 7 May 2007 and its cover image, shot by Nick Knight, certainly was unlike anything we’ve ever seen! From April, we offered you a sneak peek in advance of the launch with a special download jigsaw: an opportunity, on completion, to possess your very own, giant Nick Knight/Björk/Bernhard Willhelm original.
The overall image was composed of 48 pieces, 34 of which have image content and 14 left blank. Each segment was given in random order, leaving viewers to piece the overall image together themselves. Only one piece could be downloaded on a single day but the next was waiting for you without skipping a segment, which meant if you missed a few days, the next piece would always be the next in the jigsaw chronology. You may have just about worked out the image puzzle by the time you bought the album!

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.

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!!

In November 2005, SHOWstudio offered its international audience the unique opportunity to have their own photographic work featured in a Nick Knight photo shoot with Antony Hegarty, lead singer of Mecury Music prize winning group Antony and the Johnsons. As part of the concept for the portrait shoot on 1st December 2005, Nick Knight used a selection of photographic imagery, submitted by SHOWstudio viewers, to inspire an experimental musical performance. The visuals were projected onto Antony, resulting in a beautiful photographic spread that appeared in the February edition of i-D magazine. Incorporating a gallery with 500+ contributions from SHOWstudio viewers, documentation of the initial brief, shoot and the published story in i-D magazine, the project’s spectacular finalé piece took the form of an atmospheric film –featuring Antony and a myriad of inspirational imagery courtesy of SHOWstudio’ viewers- created by Nick Knight and edited by Sam Blair.

Realising that London was only one of many possible locations for such a shoot, Nick and Simon decided to open their project up to SHOWstudio viewers worldwide, throwing down their brief as a gauntlet to the many internationally-based photographers we know view the site and contribute to the FORUM.

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.

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.
