About

Conceived as part of the SHOWstudio Shop exhibition Practice to Deceive: Smoke & Mirrors in Fashion, Fine Art and Film, a selection of fashion designers were invited to re-interpret an all-time fashion classic: the evening tuxedo, or as the French would say, Le Smoking.

In a series of live broadcasts through June and July 2011, SHOWstudio showcased every aspect of the process from conception to completion, dispelling the 'smoke and mirrors' of the fashion industry - the myths and misconceptions of design - and allowing the public at large to see these designers in action.

To enquire about purchasing these items please email SHOWstudio Shop.
