| CURRENT THE FASHION BODY | |
| Our latest fashion film season The Fashion Body launched on Monday, with Nick Knight beginning our whirlwind trip around the human body through a fusion of fashion and motion image. Today, it is the turn of the much-celebrated American avant-garde designer Rick Owens to give us his unique view of his own left foot, while on Friday we showcase the right eye as captured by esteemed photographer Tim Walker. Alongside films, each week we will release a pair of essays commissioned on the theme of The Fashion Body from a range of authors, journalists and critical thinkers. This week sees Professor Christopher Breward of the Victoria and Albert museum, and journalist and lecturer Roger Tredre, who give their viewpoints on the concept of The Fashion Body. Tune in each weekday for the launch of a new film or essay on the theme The Fashion Body on SHOWstudio.com [more] | |
| COMING UP A/W 2010 - JOIE DE VIVRE | |
 | |
 Known for his deliciously dark and slightly gothic take on contemporary fashion, Gareth Pugh is frankly the last designer you'd associate with a piece titled Joie De Vivre. But in Ruth Hogben's latest addition to our A/W 2010 fashion film editorial, Pugh is less the focus and more the sole obsession of a piece vibrating with the vivacious movement and infectious energy of a Weimar Berlin cabaret act. Brazillian supermodel Raquel Zimmermann is primped, plucked, panstick-ed and preened into a louche symbol of Art Deco decadence, directed by Hogben, styled by Katie Shillingford and dressed in a selection of Pugh's finest wares. All right Mr. DeMille, she's ready for her close-up! Joie De Vivre launches this Friday at 15:00 BST | |
| CURRENT OBJECT FETISH | |
| | |
 First spied by Fashion Director Alexander Fury on the Paris catwalk back in March, this week we finally manage to get our hands on one of next season's most coveted accessories - the Hermès umbrella. Rendered in hyper-luxurious inky-black crocodile and with a miniature Kelly bag strapped to the handle (naturallement!), Jean Paul Gaultier's latest reinvention and reinvigoration of Hermès' heritage was ripe for an analytical unfastening, and of course a sumptuous visual exploration in our latest Object Fetish film.

| FROM THE SHOP TOE AND HEEL BALL LENSES, 2007 | |
| | |
 Naomi Filmer's series Out of the Ordinary brings a redefined meaning to the term 'through the looking glass'. In 2007, London's Victoria and Albert museum exhibited her remarkable collection of ten hand-blown glass balls flawlessly outlining the intricacies of the body. Our current exhibition Inside/Out displays her toe and heel ball lenses: a hollow metal cast of the foot encased by a ball of delicate glass. The transparent orb accommodates the precious body part, which is lined with flesh coloured flocking, giving the viewer a rare chance to really look inside themselves. [more] | |
| FROM THE ARCHIVE BONED | |
| | |
 With fashion already leaping ahead and shooting its selections from the latest menswear collections for S/S 2011 - and with stylist Alister Mackie's inventive array of frilly underthings currently adorning the walls of the SHOWstudio Shop - the time seems apt to cast a furtive glance at our Boned project. With designers including Christopher Kane, Marios Schwab and Gareth Pugh reworking men's underwear along the frilled and boned lines of ladies' lingerie, Mackie's selection was shot by Nick Knight with all the classicism of Horst's Mainbocher Corset for AnOther Magazine, the editorial here presented alongside an exclusive fashion film and in-depth essay.
