| CURRENT MIRROR MIRROR | |
| To celebrate the launch of high-street behemoth Topshop's new beauty range, SHOWstudio.com have installed a giant interactive mirror in Topshop's Oxford Circus, taking shoppers' reflections right into the hands of fashion's leading creatives. For the next five days, the interactive display will flash sartorial advice across the mirror's surface - today has already seen make-up supremo Hannah Murray and the team of i-D magazine dispense their thoughts, followed this afternoon by Grazia's fashion fiends and Lady Gaga's stylist Nicola Formichetti at 17:00.
Hot-foot it to Topshop Oxford Circus before Sunday to subject yourself to style scrutiny! [more] | |
| CURRENT OBJECT FETISH | |
 | |
 When is a box not a box? When it's a bag - specifically when it's a bag from Maison Martin Margiela, the home of deconstruction, reconstruction and in this case a truly magpie lust for re-appropriation. Filching a cardboard box from their own shop stock and reworking into a luxury pochette (with price-tag to match), Margiela's startling and humorous creation is the second subject to fall under the obsessive gaze of our Object Fetish camera for A/W 2010.

 With our Blackwhite opening imminent, the time seems apt to pin macabre maestro Gareth Pugh into our In Fashion hot-seat, fresh off the back of a much-acclaimed A/W 2010 collection.

In the meantime, you can soothe your thirst for Pugh's architectonic constructions on our BLOG, where a flood of images, video interviews and text has been documenting the latest in a series of collaborations between Pugh and filmmaker Ruth Hogben. One of the most uncompromising shows from Paris, Pugh's is the latest addition to our upcoming series of designer fashion film monographs.

| FROM THE SHOP BLACKWHITE | |
| | |
 Our Bruton Place Shop is on the verge of opening Blackwhite, an exhibition that features a unique range of artwork that subscribes to that classically fashionable and enduringly crisp aesthetic: black and white.

Stop by on Saturday to see precisely how… [more] | |
| FROM THE ARCHIVE PICTURE/MESSAGE: Poser | |
| | |
 Frankly, our thoughts are fixated on mirrors at the moment - and with the fashion fraternity behind the mirror this time, we couldn't help but remember their own turn in the spotlight courtesy of David Weightman's Poser project. Weightman turned his attention from the catwalk to the audience at the S/S 2004 Paris collections, armed with a cameraphone mounted behind two-way mirror to capture the startled, bemused and occasionally befuddled front row as they went about their stylish business.

Gareth Pugh - Interview  The lovely Gareth Pugh gives us an insight into today's fashion film and working with Ruth Hogben... | |
Gareth Pugh A/W 2010 - Look 3  Gareth's and Ruth's vision of thirties Hollywood continues to delve into darker, more macabre and distinctly more fetishistic places. Raquel has shed the modest leather coat in favour of a braces and slacks combo, finished with a pair of elbow length leather gloves and smouldering cigarette hanging from scarlet stained lips. Think Marlene Dietrich at her most seductive and you're somewhere near the right lines. [more] | |
Gareth Pugh A/W 2010 - Look 2 
Gareth's chevron-quilted mid-calf length coat takes centre stage for look 2 of today's shoot. The architectonic aesthetic is still going strong as Raquel expertly moves in her leather armour to create stark shapes and structural silhouettes. [more] | |
