    Gear up for London Collections: Men with these Shop illustrations

    Last menswear season saw British-trained illustrator Helen Bullock provide illustrative coverage of London Collections: Men, with her abstract and quirky mark-making. As we psych ourselves up for the start of the season on 16 June, we've selected some of our favourite illustrations penned by Bullock, from last season in the capital. 

    Christopher Shannon, Lou Dalton, J.W. Anderson, Sibling and Alexander McQueen all feature in the vast selection of Bullock’s London based illustrations. Her bold brush strokes create a sense of scale, whilst unfinished mark-making give the impression of a fleeting moment on the runway. You can purchase these illustrations, as well as many more from our in-house illustrators exclusively in SHOWstudio Shop!

    Be sure to tune in 16 June for the start of our live panel discussions with industry level experts, chaired by the ever-charming Colin McDowell!

    SHOWstudio is in Ponystep!

    The wonderful team behind Ponystep magazine decided to feature SHOWstudio in their latest issue! The piece, penned by Dean Mayo Davies, tracks SHOWstudio's origins and development and contains exclusive interviews with SHOWstudio founder Nick Knight, Shop director Carrie Scott, fashion editor Lou Stoppard and head of fashion film Marie Schuller. We're totally thrilled to have been described as fashion's neutral ground; 'SHOWstudio is not only a Warholian, frontierless creative concept, it is the Switzerland of fashion, down in SW1. The industry can be more political than politics itself, yet all that falls away in this creative hub. Ideas win out, as they should, and the joy of the unmitigated is universal.' What kind words!

    Alongside the SHOWstudio profile, Issue 05 SS13 also contains an interview with Danni Minogue, who was photographed for the magazine by Stefan Zschernitz and styled by Victoria Higgs, as well as a piece on Theo Addams, who was photographed by David Hughes. Cover stars include Anais Mali and Lais Ribeiro, both photographed by David Bailey, and Joe Dallesandro, who was shot by Doug Inglish. Be sure to pick up a copy of the issue - it's a cracker!

    Nick Knight creates the music video for Daphne Guinness' first single!

    SHOWstudio is proud to release the video for Fatal Flaw, Daphne Guinness' first single. Shot both in our old Bruton Place studios and our new Motcomb street space, the surreal, psychedelic film echoes the emotive tone of Guinness' poignant lyrics. It was created by Nick Knight in collaboration with Marie Schuller, who provided the film's visual treatment, and is viewable now exclusively on SHOWstudio.

    Speaking on the song, Guinness said, 'this was only the second song I wrote; it came from broken bonds, fragmented dreams. In part, it’s about the sheer randomness of love and its illusionary effect. The lyrics are very much mine, but ponder universal themes. I think that anyone can relate.'

    The Fatal Flaw single will be available to download from SHOWstudio from 20 June 2013. That's less than 2 weeks away! In the meantime, purchase a vinyl copy of the single from SHOWstudio Shop!

    The Telegraph's Lisa Armstrong talks punk

    Fifth in line to share their favourite punk fashion moment for our Punk: On the Runway series is Lisa Armstrong, fashion editor of The Telegraph

    Armstrong's recording celebrates Liz Hurley's infamous safety pin dress, worn to the premiere of Four Weddings and a Funeral in 1994. Armstrong explains how this now iconic anti-fashion moment was punkish in both aesthetic (we all know safety pins are iconic of punk) and attitude - after all punk clothes were all about grabbing attention.

    For Armstrong, Hurley's statement dress, which has since become known as 'That Dress', is a paradigm example of the contradictory nature of punk, and it was the buccaneering spirit with which it was worn that makes it stand out nearly twenty years on. To hear more, listen to Lisa here.

    Stay tuned over the coming weeks for musings from Dazed's Karen Langley, NOWFASHION's Jessica Michault and freelance journalist and fashion consultant Melanie Rickey.

    Our latest exhibition SHOWcabinet: Iris van Herpen is open!

    Iris van Herpen's acclaimed Splash dress went on display for the very first time last night during the opening of our latest SHOWcabinet at our Motcomb Street gallery. Created during a 7 day live broadcast from SHOWstudio, the couturier's exquisite garment was the central piece in the exhibition which showcases artworks and fashion items which break down the boundaries between the arts and sciences.  

    Piper Heidsieck provided limited edition Cannes Brut champagne for our guests to enjoy as they marvelled at the dazzling display of artworks; from Kate MccGwire's stunning feather sculptures to Michael Hansmeyer's 3D architectural print. Iris van Herpen, Irene Bussemaker and Philip Treacy also showed pieces on mannequins, courtesy of Rootstein and Proportion London, each in turn demonstrating meticulous attention to design and detail. 

    We also unveiled a previously unannounced multi sensory installation in the vault of the gallery. Produced in collaboration with innovative projector brand Vivitek, the installation showcased high speed footage taken by Nick Knight of water splashing over Daphne Guinness. Artists Geoffrey Lillemon and Salvador Breed reinterpretted these scenes to create their film Sonomorphic Mirror. The resulting imagery of cascading water covered the walls of the underground space while Breed's soundtrack resonated through the building.

    Make sure you come and experience all these incredible pieces at our gallery space at 19 Motcomb Street. The show is open Monday-Friday, 11:00 - 18:00 BST!

    Nick Knight's Tumblr curation continues

    Nick Knight's curation of the SHOWstudio Tumblr continues with literary inspiration from the French poet Rimbaud. Rimbaud was a restless soul and a libertine, penning all of his works during adolescence, and creatively retiring before the age of 20. 

    Nick has coupled evocative imagery with extracts of Rimbaud's poetry, a showcase of primal desires, in pictures and in words. Sexual fixation and fetish dominate. 

    Explore the provocative curation of the SHOWstudio Tumblr now.

    Mirrored Flock Of Starlings
    Forget Me Not - Only You

    You may not like the music however I do love this video and the mirroring of the extremely beautiful flock of Starlings. 

    The way the birds move in this weird wave-like formation is by trying to keep the same distance and height away from the 7 other starlings around them, giving them a staggered motion when dipping and diving.
