CURRENT LIVESTUDIO - SMOKEY CHAPMAN
Back in January, musician Smokey Chapman became the first artist of 2010 to take over the soundsystem in the LiveStudio. Performing eight tracks from her forthcoming E.P, Smokey was joined by fellow London musicians from the Golden Silvers and Real Fur. The performance footage has now been edited, and all tracks are available to watch in the LiveStudio archive. [more]
COMING UP IN FASHION - MARY KATRANTZOU AND SAM MCKNIGHT LIVE
The latest addition to our burgeoning In Fashion interview series, tomorrow Alexander Fury speaks to London designer Mary Katrantzou, the leading proponent of fashion's digi-print aesthetic revolution. As if that isn't enough, next Friday we will broadcast an exclusive one-on-one between esteemed journalist Tim Blanks and hairstylist Sam McKnight, the skilled hands behind many a fashion show's fringe benefits.
COMING UP OBJECT FETISH
Examining key pieces from next season's international collections, Object Fetish trains obsessive attention onto next season's not-so-obscure objects of desire - namely the choicest accessories from fashion's favourite names, metaphorically unpicked on film. Our first analysis of A/W 2010 encompasses Prada's woolen 'Sockings' and patent loafers.
FROM THE SHOP BUNNY EARS, 2009
Looking for the perfect thing to wear this Easter? Search no further -  art director and set designer Shona Heath’s Bunny Ears are just the ticket. Created for a portrait of Lanvin designer Alber Elbaz, the ears are more serious hare than playboy bunny. They are also this season's perfect egg-hiding accessory. So, go on, be a little 'egg-centric' and don a set of ears this weekend. Given how popular hats and hairpieces are this season, it’s sure to be all the rage. [more]
FROM THE ARCHIVE FLOATING SIGNS
With the Maison Martin Margiela '20' exhibition just around the corner at London's Somerset House, we look back to Margiela's first move into the UK back in 2004. Photographer Valerie Stahl Von Stromberg utilised the SHOWstudio.com picture phone to document the Margiela team's idiosyncratic 'sandwich board' campaign heralding the opening of the label's flagship - coincidentally into the very building we now occupy! Fashion really is a small world. [more]

From 11:00 GMT tomorrow, SHOWstudio.com will welcome internationally acclaimed milliner and accessory designer Philip Treacy into the LiveStudio at Bruton Place.

CURRENT COLLECTIONS: NEW YORK, LONDON, MILAN, PARIS A/W 2010
Our Season Reports from New York, London, Milan and Paris have now been launched on the site, with Fashion Director Alexander Fury's always astute and often acerbic final verdicts on the styles we've seen for Autumn/Winter 2010. With unique first-hand reportage from the shows, live stream archive video and Chris Moore's image uploads, our Collections offer the season to come, in microcosm, right now. [more]
CURRENT RE-BEL
Created by photographer Pierre Debusschere and Rasharn Agyemang of much-fêted menswear duo Jaiden rVa James, this film is an online accompaniment to the first issue of RE-BEL fashion fanzine, created by Agyemang and design partner Jaiden James. For brave new menswear talents, the short is suitably forward-looking, slashed with lasers and ghostly goings-on of all types! [more]
FROM THE SHOP SHOWSTUDIO EDITIONS, 2001
To commemorate the first year of SHOWstudio.com, in 2001 Nick Knight invited 19 contributors from the fields of fashion, music, art and design to contribute to a collection of limited-edition prints. The portfolio involved 19 innovative artists including the likes of David Chipperfield, Kate Moss, Juergen Teller, this week’s featured SHOWstudio.com guest Philip Treacy, and the late Alexander McQueen. With such a unique and ground-breaking variety of creatives crammed into one box, it comes as no surprise that of the original edition of 100 only 10 are still available. [more]
FROM THE ARCHIVE BAL MASQUE
With the Victoria and Albert Museum showcasing a clutch of the curios from Horace Walpole's Neo-Gothic pile Strawberry Hill, the time felt ripe (pardon the pun) to revisit Nick Knight's spectacular Masked Ball, staged at Strawberry Hill in 2006 to celebrate Knight's receipt of the prestigious Moët & Chandon Fashion Tribute. With galleries and archive video of the festivities, a profile of the venue itself and even a bunch of terribly fashionable confessions captured during the merriments, you can relive all the highlights as if you danced until dawn yourself!

Maison Martin Margiela '20' The Exhibition It's often difficult to explain the appeal of Maison Martin Margiela to those outside of the fashion world.

CURRENT LIVESTUDIO - TAFARI HINDS
Back in December 2009, model/singer Tafari Hinds and a crew of like-minded musicians performed in the LiveStudio at Bruton Place, styled to the hilt by Vivienne Westwood and Simon Foxton in a space specially customised by artist Olympia Scarry. The five-song set has now been edited and uploaded to our LiveStudio archive as a document of this unique live event fusing fashion and music. [more]
CURRENT COLLECTIONS: AUTUMN/WINTER 2010
Following a whirlwind month-long tour of the international fashion capitals, SHOWstudio.com Fashion Director Alexander Fury dissects each city into an individual round up to express the good, the bad, and indeed the ugly from the catwalks of New York, London, Milan and Paris. A round-up will be launched each day, beginning with our take on New York fashion week and the likes of Marc Jacobs, Proenza Schouler, Rodarte and Alexander Wang. [more]
COMING UP LIVESTUDIO - PHILIP TREACY
The SHOWstudio Shop exhibition headdress has already brought avant-garde haute coiffeur Charlie Le Mindu into the LiveStudio - and we can now announce that our next LiveStudio event features legendary milliner Philip Treacy, who is set to make an entire (master)piece over the course of just one day. As always, the entire creative process will be streamed LIVE on SHOWstudio.com from 11:00 GMT on Thursday 25 March 2010.   For up-to-the-minute updates from Philip Treacy's residency in the LiveStudio, follow our Twitter feed at twitter.com/showstudio
FROM THE SHOP YETI, 2010
The latest tour-de-force in hair and head-dressing Charlie Le Mindu took up residence in our LiveStudio just last week, weaving together a creation that reached new heights even for this pioneering milliner. Complete with crystal encrusted (local) rats, and unbelievably thick (Russian) hair, Le Mindu’s headpiece is part abominable snowman, part graceful camouflage. For more information click here.
FROM THE ARCHIVE VIKTOR & ROLF BY VIKTOR & ROLF
Fashion has always had a taste for a revival, and this season even the dynamic Dutch duo Viktor & Rolf aren't immune, looking back to their 1999 'Russian Doll' haute couture collection to inspire their latest show. On the occasion of their Louvre retrospective in 2003, SHOWstudio.com exclusively toured their back-catalogue with Horsting and Snoering themselves, to showcase their own archival highlights from their first decade of innovation.
