Apple introduced the Macintosh thirty years ago, launching a generation of innovators who, in their words, 'continue to change the world.' Individuals who pioneer the creative power of technology were selected to be celebrated on their timeline. We are extremely proud to say that SHOWstudio director, Nick Knight, is one of them. 

'Nick Knight is responsible for some of the most memorable fashion images of the past 20 years. In 2000, he created SHOWstudio.com and changed how people saw fashion. Literally. Using the Mac to bring motion and interactivity to a traditionally 2D world, he took the idea of a fashion show — typically seen by about 300 people — and broadcast it live to more than 6 million viewers. The catwalk has never been the same.'

Watch the short film in which Knight features, here at work in our studio, and read his interview on how, with the help of Apple, he began 'Bringing Fashion to Life'. 

For our first exciting collaboration of 2014, design duo Eckhaus Latta have designed this multi-directional cardigan for SHOWstudio!  The cardigan is being released in tandem with their fashion film Friend on 4 February. The piece is constructed using a double sided PolarTec Polar Fleece and has been branded with the SHOWstudio logo.

The camel coloured cardigan is designed to be unisex; designers Zoe Latta and Mike Eckhaus have both sported the elegant fleeces and conflict as to the best way to wear it - Zoe likes forwards and Mike likes backwards!

As part of the collaboration, we're releasing a selection of Q+A's with the designers. Eckhaus Latta have mentioned that they are as excited about this upcoming project as we are! 'Its awesome how multi-faceted SHOWstudio is and how it progresses fashion content for the digital future, the digital now.'

Also coming up in 2014 SHOWstudio Shop has some other exciting collaborations to announce, including ones with Tigran Avetisiyan, Heron Preston and AMBUSH jewellery!

We're proud to bring you an exclusive Phoebe English fashion film, alongside a pertinent interview with the designer and a piece from her recent collection! 

Continuing her work with fashion film, Phoebe English asked acclaimed young image-maker George Harvey to offer a new take on her S/S 14 collection using film. The stripped-back work focuses solely on textures and structural details, exploring the way each of English's garments interact with the body. The footage is complimented by a soundtrack by English's long-standing collaborator Gabriel Bruce.

Be sure to also listen to English and Rose Easton, her creative director, who offer a rare perspective on what fashion film brings to garments from a design point of view, as well as their working relationship and how they see the brand developing. 

To submerse yourself even more in the delights of Phoebe English, you can also purchase an incredibly crafted headpiece for yourself, a great contemporary crowned statement that featured on Cara Delevingne in Nick Knight's recent shoot for Garage Magazine!

To mark the end of the menswear collections, revisit of some of the best looks illustrated by our A/W 14 menswear illustrators Artaksiniya, Derek Gores and Josie Hall.

Derek Gores' collages are created from recycled materials, such as photographs and magazine cuttings, that are pieced together to represent the Milan menswear shows including Prada and Salvatore Ferragamo.

Budding fashion illustrator Josie Hall elegantly captured Paris' collections in fine detail.  She has drawn Thom Browne, Yohji Yamamoto and Raf Simons' menswear among others.

Artaksiniya injects block colour into her illustrations, adding vibrancy and expression into the London collections.  Her depiction of Agi & Sam's clothing and Astrid Andersen's collection are two of SHOWstudio Shop's favourites!

All of their incredible works are now available to buy at SHOWstudio Shop. With such distinctive and differentiating styles, there is certainly something for everyone! 

We're excited to present the first in a series of films by filmmaker and SHOWstudio favourite Joseph Lally, under the overarching title of Soap Opera. Lally describes the series as 'a Warholian epic of people of the worst morals under going a breakdown, as if Andy Warhol had his own soap operas.'

The first film, entitled Episode#1: Miss America Commits Suicide, stars actress Lauren Foster. To sit alongside it, Chris Sutton chatted with Foster on Skype on the subject of fame, betrayal and some of her story so far. 

'Lauren herself is a reality TV star, put in Joseph's rather bleak fashion film.. so it seemed apt to have her on Skype in a sort of Warholian filmed chat,' Sutton explained. 

Watch Episode#1: Miss America Commits Suicide, and Sutton and Foster's Skype interview now!

The Personal Collection of Elsa Schiaparelli will go under the hammer today at Christie's auction house in Paris. The announcement of the sale caused quite a stir in the worlds of fashion, fine art and design as it presents an unprecedented opportunity to access the belongings of one of the 20th century's most avante garde creatives. In celebration of this landmark event, Christie's hosted a remarkable round table discussion that featured Hubert de Givenchy and Elsa Schiaparelli's granddaughter, Marisa Schiaparelli Berenson. We had the privilege of capturing this insightful and rare conversation on film, and have now posted it on SHOWstudio to view on demand.

For non-French speakers amongst our viewers, there will be a translation of the conversation up shortly! Watch this insightful conversation now!

Our editor, Lou Stoppard, has been joined by a host of fashion powerhouses - from fashion historian Lucy Norris to Central Saint Martins design lecturer Heather Sproat - to share their personal perspective on the S/S 14 haute couture collections.

If you missed them, or simply want to delve into the finer details again, you can watch the discussions anytime with on-demand footage from the Chanel and Christian Dior panels, available now.

Ivan Putrov will once again celebrate the majesty of the male dancer in the latest iteration of his Men in Motion ballet. Billed for only two performances in London on 30 and 31 January, Putrov compresses 100 years of beguiling choreography for men into a concise 100 minutes. From L'Apres-midi d'un Faune by Vaslav Nijinsky to Russell Maliphant's duet Two x Two, Putrov has selected an array of classic to contemporary choreography to showcase both the relevance and beauty of male dance and the talents of the best performers of the day. Putrov pays particular homage to Le Spectre de la Rose, the first ballet to present a man in the starring role. The piece, which has its central character dressed completely in rose petals, made a controversial statement in 1911 when it premiered.

Putrov performed in London to great acclaim last year for the Pet Shop Boy's ballet The Most Incredible Thing- a Hans Christian Andersen fairy story told to the back drop of film maker Tal Rosner's wonderful psychedelic video works. He has also collaborated with SHOWstudio on a number of projects including Bring and Buy and Score.

Men in Motion is set to be a dazzling show that presents a rare opportunity to see a pivotal collection of choreography that has contributed to elevation of the male dancer throughout the last century. The performance takes place at the London Coliseum and you can book tickets now.
