Natalia V is working that Fendi something rotten in our final shot of the day (here somewhat blurily captured not only in real life, but also via one of our streaming cameras). Again, these poses are more potential candidates for prime position on the cover of British Vogue's February 2010... [more]

In case you've perched yourself outside the live studio at SHOWstudio: Fashion Revolution and are wondering why we're not waving back at you, perhaps this image will enlighten you somewhat. The 'observation' wall of the studio is two-way mirror, so although you can see in, we unfortunately (or maybe not-so-unfortunately)... [more]

As I said, after our warrior princess look of the past six outfits, we've taken a turn - or rather a pirouette - in the opposite direction, with pastel hues, flirtatious sheer layers and fragile dressmaking detailing. Indeed, Natalia's cover look from Karl Lagerfeld for Fendi is the very apotheosis... [more]

Alas, this is the last we'll see of Sam McKnight's fabulous array of gravity-defying hairpieces: at least on this shoot. Our cover has taken a turn for the delicate and feminine rather than the tribal chieftain look of our shoot to date - aptly summed up by Marian Newman as... [more]

We've just finished shooting Natalia's final custom creation, this incredible, operatic silk tulle and gazar ballgown from Valentino. This afternoon Nick is also photographing Natalia in a selection of outfits for the February cover - and accordingly, British Vogue's Creative Director Robin Derrick and Editor in Chief Alexandra Shulman will...

Eagle-eyed viewers of our stream may have noticed that we had a rather special visitor yesterday - kudos to anyone who correctly identified the geometric peroxide bob as belonging to none other than Lady Gaga. She was, however, more than just a casual observer: she was meeting with Nick Knight... [more]
Our live broadcast of the second day of Nick Knight's latest shoot for British Vogue is now up and running. Natalia's first look is this fabulously embellished sugarplum chiffon creation by British whiz-kid Christopher Kane - a suitably dazzling centrepiece for Michael Howells' snowflake backdrop. Today we are not only... [more]

Despite all the excitement of today's live shoot shenanigans, we couldn't forget a sad loss: our Fashion Features Editor Laura Bradley has been filched by i-D as their new Online Editor, and today is her final day as part of the SHOWstudio.com team. As a suitably fashionable parting gift, we... [more]
Lucinda Chamber's last choice of look for Natalia is this tissue-silk number from Chanel's latest Cruise collection - although, as Natalia pointed out, this kind of couture-level workmanship doesn't exactly chime with the idea of 'Cruise' as a lower-priced, accessible mid-season range. No matter, when it's quite as fabulous as... [more]

Remove concerns over sales or wearability - and even worries about models making it down the catwalk - and what do you get? A wardrobe suitably fit for a fairy princess, and the ideal inspiration for our flight of fashion fantasy. An understated work-a-day wardrobe this is not - these... [more]

Natalia's second look of the shoot is this wisp of baby's breath silk-tulle with massed feather and flower neckpiece from Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci. Rather unconventionally, British Vogue's Fashion Director Lucinda has paired this with chunky cable-knit armwarmers (appropriate enough for our snowy backdrop) and hefty tribal jewellery - while...

A quick pap-snapped shot of Natalia backstage as Gillian of British Vogue adjusts her (rather fetching) fur mittens before we shoot her first Prada outfit once more. Nick is shooting Natalia in a variety of different outfits today and tomorrow - both the custom-made selection by the veritable litany of... [more]

One of fashion journalism's best-known and most revered faces and voices - Suzy Menkes, Fashion Editor of the International Herald Tribune came down to the set to catch proceedings and interview Nick and the team about the changes in fashion coverage online. She graciously posed for the SHOWstudio.com cameraphone alongside... [more]

The first shot of Nick Knight's shoot with Natalia V for British Vogue is now underway - with Natalia sporting a somewhat sensational Prada creation of ombre chiffon and crystal beading, specially designed for the shoot. Other designers who have hand-fashioned exquisite gowns for this 'Fairytale' shoot are Dolce e... [more]

From the outset, SHOWstudio: Fashion Revolution was intended to be much more than just a retrospective. With that in mind, our latest shoot in the Live Studio space is a SHOWstudio first - the first time we have streamed one of Nick Knight's shoots for British Vogue. Naturally, this is... [more]

Last night we had the pleasure of welcoming regular SHOWstudio contributor Fred Butler to the SHOWstudio SHOP. Fred was here to discusss an upcoming project (christmas-themed, that's all we're saying for now) with the SHOP's Dorothy Burns but it was an also a perfect opportunity to show her our new... [more]
Glamorous as a fashion shoot may seem, for a great deal of the time the studio looks like this: a blank canvas waiting while models are dressed, shots are planned, or - as with yesterday's shoot - while they cavort through the corridors of Somerset House in a Jaiden rVa... [more]

Opened in August 2008, WAH Nails is a concept nail salon set up by Arena Homme Plus Contributing Editor Sharmadean Reid. Born out of an ongoing passion for nail-art and increasing frustration that she couldn't get the exact kind of 'fashion nails' she desired, Reid took inspiration from the wealth... [more]
By contrast with Simon's professed sportswear psychedelia, our model Jason's first look is an exercise in monochrome - intarsia vest, zebra leggings and trainers left purposefully unfastened for good measure. Here he is taking a breather in our rather intense all-red dressing room backstage at Somerset House before strutting his... [more]
