SHOWstudio is awash with punk fever at the moment. We've had some exciting projects launch, including Punk: On the Runway, which has already seen Alexander Fury and Max Pearmain share their favourite fashion punk moments, and Punk: DIY, our latest competition.

Our shop is also full of hidden punk gems ready to help you get into the spirit. Try Claire Barrow's hand painted leather biker jacket out for size or David Bradley's Punkature Dress. We've also got exclusive pieces from Shaun Leane such as this silver horn ring and silver hook earrings to unleash some inner anarchy!

Una Burke's studded belts or Kat Mark's acrylic collars provide contemporary takes on punk accessories, while Fiona Gourlay's Versace 'Vunk' illustration reflects the movement's impact on the contemporary world of high fashion.

If you're not brave enough to try those out, why not purchase the exhibition's official catalogue; a dazzling display of archive images and rare works that beautifully documents the evolvement of punk.

GQ editor Dylan Jones stopped by our studio for a live In Fashion with Lou Stoppard last week. The uncut footage of their lively one-on-one interview is now available to watch for a limited time only.

The head of Conde Nast's prestigious menswear title and chair of the British Fashion Council Menswear Committee had an array of fascinating industry insight to offer, from the evolution of London Collections: Men to the changing demands of the menswear magazine market. Jones also opened up about his role as the face of GQ and the importance of a sense of libido in publishing. Saucy.

Watch our exclusive chat with the award-winning journalist now.

Keen to explore the 'Chaos to couture' angle of the Met's Punk exhibition, SHOWstudio invited a series of fashion experts to discuss their favourite runway punk moment. Rather than exploring the fashions of the original movement, this series looks at the way in which punk has been interpreted by in a high fashion context.

Echoing the raw DIY aesthetic of the original punk movement, these fashionable soundbites are captured in rough audio recordings and displayed alongside imagery from the selected show.

Last week, Independent fashion director Alex Fury explained why Dior's New Look was punkish in attitude, even if not in look. Now, to continue our series Arena Homme + editor and freelance stylist Max Pearmain has offered up his thoughts. Hear him wax lyrical about Helmut Lang now!

Our latest In Fashion installment sees French designer Roland Mouret take the interviewee seat opposite Lou Stoppard.

Mouret has gained a strong following for his trademark sensual yet structured designs and has helped pioneer a new focus on body conscious silhouettes in ready-to-wear. At the height of the press attention surrounding his Galaxy dress design, Mouret took an almost two-year hiatus from the fashion industry, returning with his new label in 2007.  He began showing under his original brand name again in 2010.

Tune in as the designer reflects on his time in the industry and discusses the development of his brand for our live series tomorrow, Wednesday 22 May, at 10:30 BST.

Music aficiando Mimi Xu has offered up a cheery Fashion Mix inspired by her own first name! Xu - who has worked with the likes of Prada and Topshop and recently soundtracked Visiting Hour from our Fashion Fetish project - has compiled a playlist of her ten favourite Mimi-titled songs. But while the titles of her musical selection may be similar, the genres are diverse, and include everything from the rockabilly tunes of Vince Taylor to the voice of folk-pop songstress Jane Siberry. Swing along to songs by 'King of Cool' Dean Martin or Frank Sinatra and rock out to English post-punk band The Durutti Column. Have a Mimi-filled week by listening to Mimi Xu's playlist today.

Coinciding with our SHOWcabinet: Prosthetics exhibition, SHOWstudio engages in the discussions and debates surrounding disability by offering artists, models and thinkers an open forum to communicate their views and research. From historical attitudes towards disability to the fashion industry's treatment of diverse bodies, the essays, films and recordings will unpick prosthetics from all angles. Throughout the course of the exhibition - which is on show now at 19 Motcomb Street, London - we'll be releasing a different talk every few days. First up is Una Burke in conversation with Niamh White. The Irish artist talks about her artworks that are featured in the exhibition, her interest in prosthetics and the processes and inspirations behind her work.

Watch Burke's interview now, and stay tuned for video conversations with model Kelly Knox, All Walks founder and diversity champion Caryn Franklin, and a double interview with artist Patrick Ian Hartley and maxillofacial expert Dr Ian Thompson, who have formed a dynamic creative relationship. We'll also be launching an audio interview with artist Kat Marks and an essay by historian Dr David Turner that will focus on the way in which artificial limbs were sold as objects of fashion and desire around the turn of the 19th century.

Iris van Herpen's beautiful water dress will be on display to the public for the very first time this June as the central piece in our upcoming SHOWcabinet exhibition. Opening on Thursday 6 June, the exhibition will showcase both the dress and the film that was made during Splash, a creative collaboration between van Herpen, Nick Knight and Daphne Guinness. The whole process was streamed live on SHOWstudio.com over a 7 day broadcast, and now we're displaying the pieces themselves at our headquarters at 19 Motcomb Street in London. 

In van Herpen's work fashion, science, art and technology are not separate subjects, but flow from a single source. And so accompanying her work in the cabinet are art works and fashion items that make the same leaps to break down the divisions between disciplines. The artists included are informed by art history, science and nature equally and present works created through meticulous and repetitive crafts. They find their inspiration in natural wonders- spirals, skeletons, waves and wings, where science and art collide.

The artists featured include Iris van Herpen, Nick Knight, Geoffrey Lillemon, Salvador Breed, Kris Kuksi, Tobias Klein, Michael Hansmeyer, Kate MccGwire, Philip Treacy, Jordan Askill, Isaie Bloch and Irene Bussemaker.

The lovely Mary Katrantzou stopped by our studio today to film an exclusive Re-see of her Autumn/Winter 2013 collection.

The Greek designer talked to Lou Stoppard about the conscious move away from her signature colourful prints towards a more sombre, texture and structure-laden look. On-demand footage will be available shortly, but while you wait be sure to check out our Re-see with fellow London star Thomas Tait.

All of us at SHOWstudio are thrilled to be taking part in Bespoke, a brilliant event taking place today, 16 May, at the Sydney Opera House. Organised by The Australian Financial Review Magazine, the event takes the form of a series of collaborative discussions, presentations and interactive Q&A sessions.

The event features an amazingly diverse line-up of speakers discussing global trends, innovation and creative collaboration. Unsurprisingly, given SHOWstudio's passion for team work, Nick Knight and SHOWstudio decided to focus our contribution on creative collaboration. We supplied footage from our pioneering Visions Couture initiative, created by Nick Knight in collaboration with Daphne Guinness, as well as an exclusive interview with Knight in which he discussed his relationship with Daphne and the reasoning behind his focus on collaboration.

Revisit Visions Couture now to see Guinness clad in Spring/Summer 2012's finest, alongside pieces were her own legendary wardrobe. The project also saw Knight collaborate on 3D scans with Danny Brown and films with Marie Schuller - see all the amazing content, which went on to be featured in the windows of Paris' Le Printemps department store in Spring 2012, over on our project page now.

British fashion stalwart and national treasure Sir Paul Smith is set to sit down for an exclusive interview with Lou Stoppard as part of our In Fashion series.

After leaving school at the age of 15, Smith has managed to independently build his own brand empire, which is now comprised of fifteen different collections including menswear, womenswear, fragrance and more.

Tune in as the designer shares the secret to his success in our live broadcast today, Thursday 16 May 2013, at 14:45 BST.

To celebrate and unpick punk's lasting influence on high fashion, SHOWstudio asked a range of our favourite editors and stylists to tell us about their top punk moment on the catwalk. In candid phone chats with Lou Stoppard, fashion's great and good assess punk's transition from 'chaos to couture', offering up personal anecdotes, show memories and shrewd fashion analysis.

First up is The Independent's newly-announced fashion editor Alex Fury. Not content with discussing a tribute to punk, Fury has delved a little deeper and unpicked punk's attitude, and the irreverence, boldness and excitement that went alongside the movement. For him, this attitude was visible well before the movement had even begun, in the pioneering, and highly controversial, New Look collection shown by Christian Dior in 1947. Hear Fury - fashion's walking encyclopaedia - discuss the collection, alongside his other unlikely punk icons including Marie Antoinette, in this audio recording - listen now!

Stay tuned for other punk moments coming soon from industry insiders including Arena Homme +  editor in chief Max Pearmain, Elle's fashion features director Rebbeca Lowthorpe and Dazed's senior contributing fashion editor Karen Langley.

Thomas Tait's Autumn/Winter 2013 collection packed a neon punch that caught the eye of industry veterans like Tim Blanks and won rave reviews online.

Originally from Canada, Tait is the latest member of a new generation of young designers making their own decidedly unique mark on the fashion industry. His precised, fresh take on sportwear and technical prowess often proves a refreshing antidote to the maximalist prints and embellisments on other London runways. The Central Saint Martins graduate stopped by our studio to talk Lou Stoppard through the inspirations behind his standout collection.

Watch Tait in action now!

Who better to compile a Fashion Mix for us than the guitarist of post-punk band The Fall and founder of indie pop band The Adult Net, Brix Smith-Start?

After sharing her fashion insight on our Comme Des Garçons and Paris roundup panels, Smith-Start has now given us her top ten essential tracks.

Rock fans are sure to be pleased with the inclusion of Sonic Youth, Nirvana, The Clash and The Ramones. If you're more a sixties music fan, groove along to Good Vibrations by The Beach Boys or Jealous Guy by John Lennon. Turn up her Fashion Mix on your stereo today.

Barbie completed a work placement at SHOWstudio in 2010, assisting Nick Knight on shoots, posting live video updates and organising Fashion Week show tickets.

We decided to reward our former intern by working alongside In Fashion contributor Roksanda Ilincic to create Barbie's new Dreamhouse! Ilincic, who previously dressed the doll for her 50th anniversary, will be drawing on her background as a trained architect and taking inspiration from London to give Barbie a home with a modern and contemporary feel.

Starting from the ground up, SHOWstudio will work side-by-side with Barbie and Ilincic to re-imagine the iconic doll's house to new fashionable heights. Stay tuned for more information on this exciting project!

No stranger to the camera, model Lily Cole has stepped behind the lens to make her directorial debut for Sky Rainforest Rescue and WWF, as part of their inititative to save one billion trees.

Shot on Cole's own super 8 camera, the film is a story of exploration, embracing nature and uncovering the wonders of the rainforest. During a one week visit to the awe-inspiring Amazon Rainforest, Cole explored the space alone and captured everything from caterpillars, to the experiences she shared with local wild rubber workers.

Cole captured some of the magical sounds of the rainforest on her iPhone and also provided an exclusive soundtrack, written and performed by her. The simple and enchanting sounds give the film an effortless energy, which helps to encapsulate the raw beauty of the Amazon. 

Towards the end, the film takes a sinister turn, as a message to viewers on the dangers that this beautiful and self-sustainable space is facing. Juxstaposing HD footage with Cole's previous filmscape, the video is an ardent plee to prevent further human destruction in this wonderous environment.

'Travelling to Acre, Brazil, I was very inspired by the possibilities Amazonian wild rubber offers in our effort to halt deforestation,' said Cole of her work on the film.

A great film, for a great cause - watch it above now!
