To celebrate milliner Philip Treacy's mesmerising return to London Fashion Week in 2012, Nick Knight and Ruth Hogben created the electric film Hatstand, which featured Sudanian-born model Grace Bol.

To coincide with this project, Nick Knight has released a series of editorial images exclusively on SHOWstudio. The images are a dynamic mix of geometric shapes, electric colours and plumes of blossoming fabrics.

Sequins shimmer, feathers fly and crinolines create caricaturial extensions from Bol's head. Neon colours set against a black backdrop create impossible body lengths. Freeze frames of explosive texture, shape and colour add a dynamic edge and gravity defying headpieces from Treacy elevate Bol to a celestial state.

Take a look at Knight's mesmerising addition to the project now!

Jeweller Kyle Hopkins took residency at SHOWstudio in August for a unique LiveStudio as part of our Death exhibition. 

Our process film of Hopkin's residency is now live for your viewing pleasure. Hopkins and his entire metal workshop painstakingly crafted a golden death mask composed of half of Hopkins' own face and half of a skull.

Hopkins also talks openly about his own perception of death alongside the techniques and inspirations behind his intriguing work. 

Explore Kyle Hopkins' residency and face death yourself in this exclusive film!

Following on from Sue Dray's inspiring workshop at the Apple Store, Covent Garden, where she demonstrated the use of innovative iPad apps to create fashion illustration imagery, we are proud to present her series of bright, poppy animations featuring designs by Prada, Gareth Pugh, Pam Hogg and more.

Belgium publication, A Magazine Curated By, has recruited acclaimed milliner and SHOWstudio friend Stephen Jones as their latest guest host! The magazine gives international designers, groups or fashion houses the opportunity to personalise content that expresses their aesthetic and cultural values.

For this issue, Jones has championed the art of fashion illustration, chosing illustrative friends to work alongside him to create a magazine devoid of photography. 'I chose illustrators that could all draw Venus in the sand before breakfast, probably with their eyes closed and standing on one leg.' 

SHOWstudio's exclusive project Finger Painting is also featured. Nail technician Marian Newman attached the world's first quill nails to textile designer and friend of Jones, Celia Birtwell, allowing her to produce beautiful illustrations direct from her fingertips. 

Also amongst the pages are dreamy still life roses from Nick Knight and an array of breath-taking illustrations and artworks.

Our Giles Deacon Design Download competition is now closed and our submissions gallery is brimming with wonderful designs (like this one shown above)! Both Nick Knight and Deacon now have the difficult task of chosing their favourite, before we anounce the winner on Monday 25 March. The lucky victorious creative will see their dress featured in an exclusive SHOWstudio fashion film shot by Knight himself!

Our Design Download initiative enables budding fashion enthusiasts to get their hands on incredible cutting patterns from some of the leading fashion figures of today.

For this competition, Deacon provided SHOWstudio with an exclusive pattern for The Troubadour, a dress from his Autumn/Winter 2007 collection, and asked for it to be reinterpreted by SHOWstudio viewers. Your designs have come flooding in! Holographic fabrics, dark denims and alluring latex have all been used to add a unique spin on Deacon's original design. 

Take a look at all our hopefuls in our submissions gallery, tell us your favourite via Twitter - @SHOWstudio #DesignDownload - and be sure to tune in on Monday to see who takes the coveted prize!

 Make sure you go and watch Spring Breakers by Harmony Korine. It's brilliant!

Ahead of the exclusive release of Ruth Hogben's backstage images from Gareth Pugh's Autumn/Winter 2013 collection, footage of the dark and dramatic show is now available on our Collections page.

Adding to our comprehensive collections coverage, the footage captures Pugh's signature aesthetic, visionary approach and unconventional use of materials. As Kiki Georgiou noted in her show report, 'shredded bin bags edged hemlines where someone more ordinary than Pugh might have opted for feathers.' 

The show, set in Hotel Solomon de Rothschild, was also covered in a live panel discussion where Caryn Franklin and Norman Rosenthal debated notions of femininity. 'For me, this is power dressing. It isn’t about reducing women to a body,' said Franklin.

Whether you missed it the first time round or simply wish to enjoy it again, head over to the Collections page to watch the show in full.

Following the deadline for our Giles Deacon Design Download last Friday, our submissions gallery is now brimming with wonderful creations!

From holographic fabrics, shimmering tulles, floral sheers and dark denims, budding designers have re-interpreted The Troubadour dress using the pattern supplied by Deacon himself. Sleeves have been taken away or accentuated, textural bullets added and lengths elongated to evolve Deacon's original design. Tell us which frock is your favourite on Facebook or by tweeting us with @SHOWstudio #DesignDownload.

Every DSquared2 show feels like one big party, so it makes sense that we asked fun-loving duo Dean and Dan Caten for the set of songs that keeps them going. 

Considering the Canadian twins' many collaborations with music artists, from Madonna to Britney Spears, one would expect a stellar playlist and the end result does not disappoint - it's a Studio 54-worthy mix of the best seventies and eighties club tunes, including tracks by Rod Stewart and Grace Jones. 

Get into the groove with Cindy Lauper's Girls Just Want To Have Fun or Michael Jackson's Off The Wall now!

Filmmaker Qunetin Jones has teamed up with jewellery company, House of Waris, for a unique collaborative film that focuses on the spectacular Plummage necklace.

The stop-motion film features Waris himself in a geometric world, with plumes of pastel flowers and shapes that dance along to an electronic, synth-like soundtrack. These are directly referenced from the necklace itself, with its floral shape, embellished with crimson, pink and white jewels.

The film presented a perfect opportunity for mytheresa.com to celebrate and examine the unity of art and fashion and also bring the two unique minds of Ahluwalia and Jones together.

Watch the film now exclusively on SHOWstudio!

With the Autumn/Winter 2013 season having now come to an end, recap all the offerings from the four leading fashion capitals with our exclusive on demand live panel roundups!

The New York roundup saw chairwoman Lou Stoppard joined by Katie Baron, Tallulah Harlech and Harriet Walker, who selected their collection highlights and discussed the relevance of designers such as Victoria Beckham and Alexander Wang.

An illustrious set of panellists including Tim Blanks, Alex Fury, Susie Bubble and Emma Elwick-Bates discussed London's designers. Does PPR's investment in Christopher Kane signal a new age of commercial success and focus? Or will London forever be known only as a punk, creative and colourful fashion capital?  

True to the city's distinctive aesthetic, the Milan panel embraced the luxury and spectacle of fashion. From the decadence of Roberto Cavalli to the presentation of powerful women at Versace, our panellists discussed the strongest shows and most covetable clothes from the Italian collections.

Our fourth and final panel evaluated the power of Paris and its established houses, including Christian Dior, Chanel and Louis Vuitton and our experts, Blanks, Harlech, Brix Smith-Start and Oriole Cullen were joined by Gladys and Pixie, two very special pedigree pals! 

Revisit the season's countless highlights and dive into the debates now!

The fifth panelist will be Style.com's editor-at-large Tim Blanks who was last night honoured with the CFDA's Media Award for his contributions to fashion journalism.

Sue Dray visited SHOWstudio over the Autumn/Winter 2013 season to contribute to the Bottega Veneta live panel discussion.

Dray is an illustrator working within the publishing and advertising industries and her distinctive drawings have featured in numerous books. She is also the senior illustration course leader at the London College of Fashion. Dray’s students attended the Bright Young Brits: Fashion Illustration workshop, at the Apple store Covent Garden, where they used various iPad apps to illustrate a live model. The apps included Brushes, Procreate, SketchbookX, Paper and Artrage. Among the students was illustrator Fiona Gourlay who covered key shows from the Milan collections - including Prada and Moschino - with her dark and complex linework. The apps have been used before by illustrator Rei Nadal during her coverage of the Spring/Summer 2013 shows.

Wednesday saw two live panels rounding up New York Fashion Week and London Fashion Week, with summarised insider commentary. Next up we shift our attention to Milan Fashion Week to round up all the key designers and trends from Italy’s fashion capital.

Joining Lou Stoppard is a panel of fashion experts including acclaimed fashion journalist Hilary Alexander. Having spent decades at the Daily Telegraph, she is an authoritative voice on all things fashion. In 2011, the Daily Telegraph and the British Fashion Council honoured Alexander's celebrated career with a party, an indication of her standing within the fashion industry. Our other panelists include supermodel and philanthropist Jade Parfitt and fashion features editor at Vogue.com Jessica Bumpus.

The Milan live panel discussion will round up Italy's finest designers, its pristine tailoring, luxurious textiles and lavish embellishments. Make sure to tune in at 11:00 GMT on Thursday 14 March 2013!
