| CURRENT MING XI - COUTURE 2011 | |
| Fashion's love affair with Asia, its traditions both old and newly cemented, has held an undeniable presence on the catwalks as of late. From 11:00 GMT tomorrow, Nick Knight takes on the task of applying this paradigm to the Spring/Summer 2011 Couture collections, capturing Shanghai-born model Ming Xi for V magazine in an exclusive two-day live shoot. Styled by Jonathan Kaye, this shoot presents a unique opportunity to see this couture season up close and personal, accompanied by footage of fashion director Alexander Fury providing further analysis on the exceptional level of detail in garments from Jean Paul Gaultier, Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci, Valentino and John Galliano for Christian Dior. Tune in tomorrow from 11:00 GMT for all the action from the set! [more] | |
| CURRENT COLLECTIONS: NEW YORK, LONDON, MILAN, PARIS | |
 | |
 Having now the luxury of distance from the lightening paced A/W 2011 season, fashion director Alexander Fury delivers his Collections round-up reports for New York, London, Milan and Paris womenswear. These deliberations approach the season city-by-city from a full 360-degree view, while also diving into the depths of particular standout collections in detail; from Proezna Schouler's exploration of American craft traditions, across the pond to Giles Deacon's offerings of forbidding fetish, south to Raf Simons' re-imagining of mid-century haute couture at Jil Sander and culminating with the incredible definition of fashion performance offered up at Mugler under Nicola Formichetti. With the collections now fully dissected and digested, we can't help but be even more excited for the A/W 2011 woman to take to the streets. New York and London have launched, with the definitive word on Milan and Paris to come later this week.

| COMING UP IN FASHION, ALICE HAWKINS | |
| | |
 The next installment in our In Fashion interview series revisits Fashion Director Alexander Fury's face time with the celebrated British photographer and image-maker Alice Hawkins. Known for her audacious style both in front and behind the lens, Hawkins has been one of the fashion industry's fastest rising stars. Since receiving her degree from Camberwell College of Art in 2002, she was scooped up first by i-D magazine, moving quickly up the ranks to shoot stories for Pop, Russian Vogue, Harper's Bazaar (US) and The Independent Magazine, in addition to being a regular SHOWstudio.com contributor. In Fashion, Alice Hawkins launches next week on SHOWstudio.com | |
| CURRENT LIVESTUDIO - PHILIP TREACY AND MILLIE BROWN | |
| | |
 With news of our next exhibition at SHOWstudio Shop soon to be announced, archived video edits from two previous exhibitions have launched here on SHOWstudio.com. A compliment to our exhibition Headdress, celebrated milliner and five times British Accessory Designer of the Year Philip Treacy held court in the LiveStudio here on Bruton Place, allowing us the opportunity to witness his uncompromised talent in motion. The resulting couture confection was described by Treacy as 'a feather salad', and was every bit in tune with his high sense of whimsy. From watching 'a feather salad' in preparation, we moved next to Millie Brown's visceral exploration of the concept of abject art in which she literally vomits the rainbow. The edited footage now featured in our LiveStudio catches Brown, vomiting a visual array to the melodic offerings of her collaborators, opera singers Patricia Hammond and Zita Syme. Our video edit of these performances are now available for you to visually digest in our LiveStudio. [more] | |

| FROM THE ARCHIVE INTERVIEW - STEVE MCQUEEN/TRICKY | |
| | |
 In a glimpse back to SHOWstudio.com's first months up and running, this week's selected project from the archive is the edited footage of Turner Prize winning experimental multi-media artist Steve McQueen's conversation with the Bristol bred and now infamous musician and actor Tricky. From his meteoric rise and work with Massive Attack, to his move to New York, the future and beyond, McQueen's video edit of the interview presents itself to Tricky as the ultimate gift from a true fan.
