| COMING UP A/W 2010 - PERFECT | |
| Launching this Friday 9 July, Perfect is the first of our new fashion film editorials exploring the key movements and moods of the A/W 2010 collections. To open the season, we focus entirely on the perfection of Phoebe Philo's latest offerings for Celine, a label that has emerged from dusty anonymity to become one of the most important and influential labels on the contemporary fashion landscape. With the astute eye of filmmaker Ruth Hogben behind the lens and Katie Shillingford taking charge of the precise, concise collection itself, Perfect manages to simultaneously evoke the eerie idealism of seventeenth-century Dutch still-life paintings, the flawless vision of Irving Penn's fifties editorials, and the utterly contemporary feel of New Minimalism gripping fashion today.

| CURRENT LIVESTUDIO - SHADY CHARACTERS | |
 | |
 The second day of Nick Knight and Simon Foxton's latest editorial shoot for i-D magazine is currently unfolding in our LiveStudio, and our cameras are standing by to broadcast the models' every twist and turn. Simon has shaved heads, padded jackets and strapped up fashions from Yves Saint Laurent, Vivienne Westwood and Burberry Prorsum over the past two days, transforming the human body for a shoot centred around light, shadow and slightly menacing silhouettes. Tune in now for the final few hours of today's live stream. [more] | |
| CURRENT OBJECT FETISH | |
| | |
 It seems we're moving from Object Fetish into objet d'art for our latest analysis of A/W 2010, via these ornate, embellished and certainly one-off creations from the final collection of Alexander McQueen. Shoes, it seems, only in name, these carved and curlicued works of footwear art were the suitably exuberant finishing touch to a collection inspired by the richest of Renaissance masterpieces - and hence painstakingly decorated from head to toe.

| FROM THE SHOP SPINE CUFF, 2010 | |
| | |
 The skeleton, perhaps the rawest human form, has served as muse to numerous fashion houses over the years, most recently Riccardo Tisci's latest 'Bone Collector' Haute Couture collection for Givenchy and DSquared2’s macabre spinal-heel shoes. It’s no surprise then that celebrated jeweller Shaun Leane also chose to look internally for inspiration to design and produce a cuff especially for our Inside/Out exhibition. Encasing the wrist, Leane’s solid silver skeletal formation is lined in hardy leather and bears an unmistakable resemblance to a human spinal cord. Split into four separate ‘veterbrae’, this protruding piece takes wearing something inside out to the next level, literally.[more] | |
| FROM THE ARCHIVE WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT? | |
| | |
 With Simon Foxton and Nick Knight shooting quite literally above our heads in the LiveStudio on the final day of our 'Shady Characters' shoot, one cannot help but cast one's mind back to What Are You Looking at, Foxton and Knight's collaboration for the August 2006 'Health of the Nation' issue of i-D. Electing to create a photographic story about the 'brutalising city', in addition to shooting their own editorial, Foxton and Knight invited SHOWstudio viewers to submit their own unique photographic interpretations of a brief laid out in video and handwritten notes, showcasing the best twenty on the site.
