POLITICAL FASHION
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.

WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?
Simon Foxton, Nick Knight
Asked to contribute to the forthcoming 'Health of the Nation'-themed, August issue of i-D magazine, Nick Knight and Simon Foxton elected to create a photographic story about the 'brutalising city': how it is brutalised by us, how it brutalises us and as a result, how it encourages us to brutalise each other.
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.- Spreads Last updated 2 Sep 2006

EDITING FASHION
Olivier Alary/Rupert Angarita-Dodds/Craig Armstrong/Apurva Asrani/Michael Blackburn/Vladimir Boboshin/Nigel Buck/William Chang/Saulyus Chyamolonskas/ Egoli Editing Team/Mike Figgis/John Galliano/John Gosling/Nick Knight/ Sam McKnight/Charles Nartey Mezo/Sharmin Nordien/Greg Perler/Christopher Seguine/ Sam Sneade/Anna Span/Joanna Swan
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.

CORPORATE AESTHETICS
Jason Evans
Snide. Patronising. Tortuous. Whenever Jason Evans turns on the telly, he's irritated by those 'annoying little bursts of eye candy'. So he came up with his own version.
