CURRENT COLLECTIONS: MILAN WOMENSWEAR AW 2011
Having spent the past week bearing witness as London designers played it safe, crossing all t’s and dotting every i in their already established signatures, we turn our attention next to Milan's offerings for A/W 2011 Womenswear. SHOWstudio.com Fashion Director Alexander Fury has touched down in the Italian fashion capital to bring you comprehensive coverage via his exclusive Audio reports, inspired by Carmel Snow’s post-war radio reports  responsible for bringing the name Balenciaga to the United States and Dior’s New Look its iconic moniker. The first round of heavyweights, Gucci and Alberta Ferretti, hit the catwalks yesterday and NOWFASHION.com is once again providing unique real-time images to accompany our live reportage. There’s no rest for the wicked on this weekend’s whirlwind schedule so be sure to stay tuned to the SHOWstudio Facebook and Twitter pages for new coverage as Prada, Versace and Jil Sander are now just a stone’s throw away.

COMING UP IN FASHION: SUSANNA LAU
Susanna Lau, also known as Susie Bubble of blog Style Bubble, is the focus of the next installment of our In Fashion series set to launch this Friday 25 February on SHOWstudio.com.  Lau was, undoubtedly, a crucial figure in fashion's blog revolution; she was editor of Dazed Digital, the online presence of Dazed & Confused magazine, from 2008-2010 and is now focusing full-time on her blog and other freelance projects, contributing and collaborating with industry favorites.  This intimate video portrait shows Lau waxing lyrical about all things fashion during a rare slice of down time before she and SHOWstudio.com Fashion Director Alexander Fury were swept into the eye of A/W 2011, covering the Collections for SHOWstudio.com. Our In Fashion interview with Susanna Lau will be launched this Friday 25 February 2011
FROM THE SHOP SLEEP, 2001
An entire decade ago, SHOWstudio.com founder and internationally renowned fashion photographer Nick Knight, explored the notion of sleep within fashion in a groundbreaking project - appropriately enough, titled Sleep. The first ever live global fashion shoot comprised of nine super models dressed and groomed as they would be at a traditional catwalk show but instead of the runway, they fell straight into bed. SHOWstudio.com viewers logged in and observed the nocturnal dishevelment of slumber. Our current SHOWstudio Shop exhibition To Bed is exclusively showing eight film shorts taken from the Sleep web cam stills – all of which truly document each models’ unconscious fashion performances.
