The Home of Fashion Film
Phillip Lim's In Fashion heart-to-heart may be over, but fear not, there's more sartorial goodness still to come. Next to take to the floor is London's rising star Simone Rocha.
Head to SHOWstudio at 15:00 BST to watch the discussion live as it unfolds.
Super stylist Jonathan Kaye brings eighties dance music back with a smashing soundtrack. Hits in his period tribute range from Donna Summer’s Dinner with Gershwin to Chaka Khan’s Earth to Mickey. Like any good stylist, Kaye also knows how to make contrasts work for him - here a soothing Vince Guaraldi piano concerto from the Peanuts soundtrack juxtaposes with soul sister Carol Lynn Townes’ powerful vocals. Bring out that inner retro spirit now!
It's a double whammy for In Fashion this week. Today, Monday 21 May, SHOWstudio will play host to New York's streetwear king Phillip Lim and London's own Simone Rocha. The discussions will kick off from 12:30 BST, as Lim takes to the floor to discuss his unique fashion journey.
Tune in for these one-on-one real-time conversations - Phillip Lim at 12:30 BST and Simone Rocha at 15:00 BST.

Let's talk about sex. It seems everyone is. From today's brand (spanking) new LiveStudio featuring latex-lovely Atsuko Kudo, to the mania, moralising and mummy-porn boom surrounding Fifty Shades of Grey, erotica seems to be having a moment.
Our Selling Sex and Fashion Fetish initiatives are all about looking at sex, sexuality and gender in new, all-accepting ways, so we couldn't be more thrilled with the news that philosopher - and founder of The School of Life, an 'apothecary of ideas' which targets big questions for everyday living - Alain de Botton is set to upturn existing approaches to porn. He's posing the question, ‘If we have reached porn saturation point, and porn is everywhere, what next for porn? Just what could the new pornography be?’ What indeed Alain, what indeed?
SHOWstudio's already presented some answers - from Ruth Hogben's depicting of Karlie Kloss serving as her own sexual fantasy with no need for a partner, to Marie Schuller's celebration of those who are usually neglected in sexual imagery in her Visiting Hour.
Not content with putting the porn debate to bed (pardon the pun), de Botton and his School of Life team are looking to create a gathering of leaders in porn and the arts to tackle the issue. He'll be announcing a new website under the name Better Porn in due course, which will show visual examples of his new approach. I'm sure the talented troupe behind Selling Sex and Fashion Fetish will happily volunteer to help!
Remember - our current exhibition Selling Sex is on until 1st June at 1-9 Bruton Place, London. Our Fashion Fetish series - featuring the likes of Daphne Guinness, Rei Nadal and Anna Trevelyan - is available now.
The model is here, the hair and make-up teams are beavering away and Atsuko is preening and prepping her latex. We'll be live in less that two hours - so head over to our stream page to start submitting your questions to Atsuko. Don't miss this exclusive masterclass in dressing for pleasure, from the woman who has dressed the likes of Gaga, Beyonce and Grace Jones.
We have lived and breathed this project every day now for 2 years so releasing it to the world was extremely exciting. I remember a couple of summers ago looking at a script, lying on our bed in Malibu that had "SNOW WHITE" written down the side of it. I immediately thought "wow, that would be incredible". When Rupert -my husband and the director of the film- told me quite seriously that "he really liked this script" I just knew it was going to happen. And it did. Quickly. Like a rare and exquisite masterpiece the stars -Charlize Theron, Kristen Stewart- aligned and Snow White began it's incredible journey. The combination of one of the worlds most renowned producer Mr. Joe Roth-Universal Studios and an amazingly talented cast, the wheels started turning and the magic started to happen, my husbands first feature film.
We moved to L.A almost 7 years ago to start our family and concentrate on his career. Last year we moved back to London for 6 months with our 2 children and to finally start filming at Pinewood. We are so happy and excited today to share this with you and we really hope you enjoy the movie.
This week SHOWstudio presents a Fashion Fetish film inspired by the digital generation and users of web apps like Instagram, Tumblr and Twitter. Filmmaker Grace Ladoja and fashion stylist Anna Trevelyan unite, focusing on the fetishistic tendencies of an increasingly self-objectifying virtual community. They explore the meaning of Internet sensationalism by putting digital generation girls into a high fashion context, nodding to Nick Knight’s Pussycat, Pussycat.
