Today saw SHOWstudio's head of fashion film Marie Schuller return from her trip to Scotland where she held a 2 hour presentation at the Glasgow Film Festival about fashion film and the means of communicating fashion in motion in the digital age. 

The lecture was held last night at the Centre for Contemporary Arts in Glasgow and included a retrospective from SHOWstudio's 12 year fashion film archive, screening the best collaborations of the most innovative filmmakers and designers, such as To Lee, With Love, Nick and Joie de Vivre. 

The presentation was organised and introduced by Claire Stuart who is in charge of the growing fashion strand at GFF and who additionally secured an array of feature films and documentaries for the festival that demonstrate a perfect symbiosis between fashion and film. 

Claire joined Marie onstage after her lecture for a Q&A session that saw people submitting questions both from the audience and through a live twitter feed. Topics like the future development of fashion film, its differences and similarities to advertising and the influence of growing technological advances were discussed amongst others.

Resident illustrator Fiona Gourlay has been getting lots of attention for her Milan coverage with a feature on Attracta Courtney. Gourlay started out by illustrating Gucci and Francesco Scognamiglio and has since interpreted looks and accessories for Fendi, Prada and DSquared2. 

Gourlay’s works come across as quirky and complex with her use of tin foil, flora and foliage overlaid on strong lines, sticky painterly marks and chalk smudgings. Most recently Gourlay has drawn macabre and playful pieces from Moschino's tartan filled Scottish inspired collection. This evening she will cover the Versace Autumn/Winter 2013 collection.

Keep up to date on the SHOWstudio Tumblr and collections page for Gourlay’s most recent illustration posts. 

On demand footage of the Fendi live panel discussions is now available.

Joining fashion commentator Caryn Franklin was fashion filmmaker Ruth Hogben, who has just launched her latest fashion film Saloni. Mandi Lennard of Mandi’s Basement was also there to add to the review with her diverse fashion knowledge. Finch & Partner’s Lainey Sheridan-Young was also there to offer her sales and PR perspective to the mix.

Recap and enjoy the heated debates on Karl Lagerfeld and Silvia Venturini Fendi’s fur loaded collection.

Faux saxophone players, ghostly animal projections and fur mohawks are the latest happenings at Milan Fashion Week and Lou Stoppard was there to witness it all. Her evocative show reports for Dsquared2, Prada and Fendi are now in.

In Dean and Dan Caten’s collection Stoppard saw a show that 'smacked of amateur dramatics' with 'retro vixens in sweeping embellished gowns' and 'Bugsy Malone in suits and fedoras'. Stoppard feels the dramatics could be viewed as 'irrelevant to real life outside of the catwalk theatre'.

Stoppard points out the invoking of a ‘dystopian spirit’ at Prada, with 'hits [from] seasons gone [which] all came back in new guises, from the clompy platform shoes to the perfect overcoats’.

Fendi’s spirit on the other hand was decidedly punk, says Stoppard. But a far cry from safety pins and ripped trousers, Karl Lagerfeld and Silvia Venturini Fendi created a collection filled with ‘intricate 3D fur embroidery’ and ‘natty tromp l'oeil detailing'.

Read the full reviews on our collections page and look forward to more coverage straight from the Milan A/W 13 catwalks.
