COMING UP COLLECTIONS: PITTI IMMAGINE AND MILAN MENSWEAR A/W 2011
We are barely into 2011 but the fashion fraternity is already looking ahead to midwinter, with not one but two Italian fashion weeks scheduled back-to-back to kick-start the A/W 2011 Collections with a bang. First up, our Fashion Director Alexander Fury travels to Florence's Pitti Immagine #79 - this year showcasing custom catwalk shows by Alberta Ferretti and Trussardi 1911, and a spectacular site-specific fashion performance from Gareth Pugh. And next is Milan, giving us the first glimpse into the mood of A/W 2011 from the high-octane likes of Gucci, Versace, Dolce e Gabbana and Prada with live catwalk uploads, blogs and reviews. Pitti Immagine #79 - and our coverage of A/W 2011 - begins on Tuesday 11 January 2011

CURRENT IN FASHION, ANNA DELLO RUSSO
Our latest In Fashion interview film featuring Anna Dello Russo - street-style icon, Japanese Vogue Editor-at-Large and one of the most talked-about faces in fashion for 2010 - launched just before our christmas break (hopefully in time for many a stylish stocking jingling with Dello Russo's eponymous fragrance). We can now announce that our next LIVE In Fashion interviewee will be Susanna Lau, a.k.a. Susie Bubble of Style Bubble fame. Acknowledged as a leader in the blog revolution that has impacted fashion from high-street to haute couture, with a tenure as Commissioning Editor of Dazed Digital to boot, Lau will sit down with Fashion Director Alexander Fury on the eve (quite literally) of the first leg of the A/W 2011 shows to discuss her love of fashion and career to date. Our In Fashion interview with Susanna Lau will be streamed live from 12:00 Noon GMT this Monday 10 January 2011 [more]
FROM THE SHOP FLORA VANITAS, 2010
Internationally respected art director and set designer Simon Costin has taken inspiration from Dutch still-life paintings of the early 1600s to create this magnificent piece for our ever-growing exhibition Florist. Aptly titled Flora Vanitas, Costin examines the concept of the transient nature of vanity and the emptiness of earthly life. By playfully decorating a skull with a selection of cutouts taken from a seventeenth-century inspired image, Costin skillfully crafts an eerie rumination on fleeting life. The piece is rich in symbolic qualities and serves to remind the viewer of some edifying idea, such as vanity, temperance and mortality. [more]
FROM THE ARCHIVE SHOWSTUDIO: FASHION REVOLUTION
As a new decade begins, the time feels especially fitting to look back over our first decade - and what better way to do so than a re-examination of SHOWstudio: Fashion Revolution, the major retrospective staged in 2009 at London's Somerset House. Showcasing a clutch of SHOWstudio.com's finest projects from our first nine years of invention, innovation and creation - alongside a selection of tailor-made live events - it's the perfect aspect from which to look backwards, to move forwards.
