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.

FERGADELIC
Experience cult 'Silas' illustrator Fergus Purcell's sketchbook drawings as animation. A bejewelled declaration that 'I want to believe' signposts the journey, which introduced a world of dominatrixes with Elvis on their mind, an incredible Hulk in King Crimson T-shirt and a variety of idiosyncratic pop-o-cultural trinkets and postulations.

FIFTEEN MINUTES OF FASHION
Giles Price/Magda Keaney
Andy Warhol famously coined the 'Fifteen Minutes of Fame' cliche, but only in fashion do those fifteen minutes come around every six months. While all eyes usually focus on the flurry of the catwalk presentation, Fifteen Minutes of Fashion not only turns the lens backstage, but on the designers themselves. Taken during the S/S 2009 London Fashion Week presentations, these diptych images capture leading British designers five minutes before their show, and five minutes after their creations exited the runway. Curated by Magda Keaney and featuring the striking photography of Giles Price, the resulting portraits offer an arresting before-and-after contrast reflecting each designer's behind-the-scenes response to the realisation and reception of their latest collection.

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
