| CURRENT THE FASHION BODY | |
| For its second week, our new fashion film season The Fashion Body series takes a sexual and slightly unconventional twist. Kicking off with filmmaker Ruth Hogben's kinky focus on brazenly bared buttocks, yesterday we showcased the chest as seen by Alice Hawkins - framed by fashion rather than concealed on a whirlwind U.S. road-trip paying homage to Playboy and Sin City itself, Las Vegas. For the essay portion of this intriguing trip around the corpus humanum, the Sunday Times Style's Fleur Britten has looked to the filmic future of fashion, while today curator, author and fashion historian Alastair O'Neill unpicks the masculine love-hate relationship with the male collar. To round off the week? We venture below the belt for photographer Malcolm Pate's vision of the right calf. Tune in each weekday to SHOWstudio.com for the launch of a new film or essay on the theme The Fashion Body. [more] | |
| CURRENT A/W 2010 - JOIE DE VIVRE | |
 | |
 Supermodel Raquel Zimmerman takes centre stage in Joie De Vivre, the latest addition to our fashion film editorial for the A/W 2010 season. Filmmaker Ruth Hogben's most recent collaboration with fashion's much-loved enfant terrible Gareth Pugh sees cabaret-inspired robotic gyrations of the Brazilian bombshell alongside a number of slinky and sleek selections from Pugh's A/W 2010 collection, styled to the extreme by Katie Shillingford. Think Dietrich, think Crawford, think Gothic glamour to the max in this effervescent evocation of A/W 2010. [more] | |

| CURRENT OBJECT FETISH | |
| | |
 Independent spirit and sexuality have also been a core value at Dolce e Gabbana, along with overindulgence in decoration and subtle homage to Domenico and Stefano's Italian heritage. This week in Object Fetish, we delve into the historic and philosophical mysteries surrounding the curvaceous corset featured in the A/W 2010 collection. Adorned down the last square centimetre with jewels, baubles and religious charms, this sumptuous corset is exemplary of the classic Dolce e Gabbana aesthetic. Part-vixen, part-matron, part-religious, part-fetishistic, this undergarment-turned-centrepiece is both a trendy accessory and historically rich fashion relic. [more] | |
| FROM THE SHOP UNDERWEAR, 2007 | |
| | |
 Traditionally, the male undergarment has failed to evolve any further than the lacklustre Y-front or boxer short. However, in 2007, Alister Mackie and Nick Knight's Boned project challenged this tradition with the use of corsets, lace, silk and other such lavish textiles. Commissioned for AnOther Man magazine, the feminised underwear, often mistaken for women's lingerie, is especially designed to fit a mans contours and silhouette. Our Inside/Out exhibition displays the re-appropriated designs in true Mackie style. The sumptuous underpants are pinned in box frames like delicate artefacts from a historical epoch where masculinity transcended the boundaries of convention. [more] | |
