With the Spring/Summer 2014 collections on the horizon, SHOWstudio has invited menswear authorities Dylan Jones and Sir Paul Smith into the studio for an In Fashion double bill on Thursday 16 May.

First up, Lou Stoppard will be speaking to the British GQ editor about his work and achievements. Prior to his post at Conde Nast, Jones has edited titles like i-D and Arena, winning the Editor of the Year award for his work at Arena in 1993. Jones has also authored bestselling publications on fashion, music and technology. Watch him open up to Stoppard about his career, and his role in championing London menswear, at 10:30 BST.

Tune in again later in the day at 14:45 BST when Stoppard speaks to fashion designer and national treasure, Sir Paul Smith. Nottinghamshire-born Smith has created a global brand comprised of 15 different divisions including menswear, womenswear and homewear. The designer's whimsical take on classic English design has gained him worldwide recognition and even the Queen's seal of approval. In our exclusive interview, Smith will be sharing insights from his forty-plus years in fashion.

To coincide with our SHOWcabinet: Prosthetics exhibition, SHOWstudio teams with recent LCF MA Fashion Artefact graduate Annelie Gross on a pioneering film created by Jon Emmony using the Xbox Kinect as a 3D scanner.

The work features Gross' Defects series, which draws on her background growing up in a family of orthopedic technicians and prostheses constructors to explore notions of restriction and distortion.

Visit the Defects project page for stills of the handcrafted pieces, an exclusive interview with Gross by Lou Stoppard, and the pionnering film.

Fashion wünderkind Thomas Tait stopped by SHOWstudio to film an exclusive Re-see of his Autumn/Winter 2013 collection.

The Canadian designer spoke to Lou Stoppard about his design inspirations, his relationship with sportswear and the continuing refinement of his womenswear label.

On-demand footage will be available soon, but in the meantime revisit our previous Re-sees with menswear designer J.W. Anderson and womenswear talent Marios Schwab.

'And now we want our rock gods to be bad again. We know we’re going to get hurt but we’re also quite happy to go along for the ride – flannel shirt, splash of studs and sequins on a leather jacket and boots to stomp the hell out of at the ready...'

Our latest Behind The Seams essay comes courtesy of Vogue.com fashion features editor and The Fashion Body contributor Jessica Bumpus. Behind The Seams aims to analyse and explore the ideas, inspirations and individuals in contemporary fashion through an ongoing series of articles.

In her analogy of the Autumn/Winter 2013 menswear and womenswear shows, Bumpus explores the factors behind fashion's current attraction to rock n' roll-infused looks. Tracing back two decades of seasonal trends — from noughties disheveldness à la Pete Doherty to Phoebe Philo's austere minimalism — her essay delves into the escapism and short shelf lives so inherent to both music and fashion.

Monday night marked the opening of the Punk: Chaos to Couture exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The exhibition marks the progression of the subculture from underground youth movement to high fashion influence through designers such as Riccardo Tisci and Rei Kawakubo, scene icons such as Johnny Rotten and cult locations such as Vivienne Westwood's Seditionaries shop. Aptly, given that SHOWstudio's director and founder Nick Knight acted as the show's creative consultant, we'll be embracing all things punk onsite over the coming weeks.

In celebration of punk's underlying ethos of DIY and self expression, SHOWstudio is opening up its latest film season to our viewers with a unique competition. We are asking fashion filmmakers and animators to get creative and submit their work for the chance to be showcased onsite in our 'Punk' series.

The brief requires you to take inspiration from punk's central theme of personal expression. In the spirit of punk's embodiment of DIY, the films and animations must showcase a garment created or customised especially for the project. We are asking you produce a one-off item and use it as the subject of your film or animation. The item of clothing produced for the winning film(s) and animation(s) will also be showcased and sold in the SHOWstudio Shop.

We would suggest that the films and animations are between ten seconds and one minute in length. Please e-mail a private download link with your movie file to punk.submissions@showstudio.com. Entries must be submitted by 10 June 2013. Good luck!

Marcel L' Herbier: Fabricating Dreams is the title for this year's Fashion in Film festival, which is now in its fourth year. Inspired by innovative film maker and director Marcel L'Herbier, the festival features his works from both the silent and sound eras and looks at exquisite fashions, modernist architecture and design, and the glamorous locations of the Cote d'Azur and Paris.

The festival will show some of L' Herbier's never before seen works, and will also feature talks and special screenings across venues such as the Barbican and BFI. An extensive programme of events has been set up, with live debates, presentations and shows. Professor Caroline Evans has also organised a symposium at Central Saint Martins, bringing together fashion, art and film historians to debate L'Herbier's legacy in a broader context of interwar Paris.

Why not get ahead of the game and brush up on your fashion film knowledge with our extensive archive before the festival kicks off on 10 May?

SHOWstudio has long championed the concept of fashion in motion - we are, after all, 'The Home of Fashion Film' - so it's apt that our latest Tumblr curation will see ejakulation founder Leo Frango bring the page to life with movement by posting GIFs for a whole week.

Speaking on his curation, Frango says, 'GIFs are an exciting hybrid between images and film. They point out those subtle or powerful moments and feel very romantic to me. People are getting used to consuming fashion in a very fast way and I hope that my curation will point out more delicate moments to them'. 

The Cyprus-born artist has been fusing the worlds of fashion and art on his Tumblr page since 2011. During his week-long residency, expect to see content derived from SHOWstudio films, fashion shows, advertising, music videos and backstage footage. 'My curation is about the strange beauty and fantasy of fashion. These are the moments that create a special world and through gifs feel eternal,' he adds.

Be sure to visit the SHOWstudio Tumblr when Frango's curation kicks off tomorrow, 30 April 2013.
