This week, the ranks of our corporeal cinematic and textural explorations are swelled by photographer Sølve Sundsbø's film exposing the forearm as a formidable force in self-identification and The Independent's Harriet Walker providing a throught-provoking essay on the symbiotic nature of fashion and the body. Today we launch Peter Jensen's left knee on an idiosyncratic journey around London Town, and coming up later this week are journalist and author Liz Hoggard's take on the relationship between Tim Burton's cinematography and fashion, and Stephen Jones distinct take on his own phrenology. Tune in each weekday to SHOWstudio.com for the launch of a new film or essay on the theme The Fashion Body. [more] | |

This Dali-esque handbag from the Dutch duo's latest A/W collection embodies the Surrealist nature of the Amsterdam-based fashion house. The cheeky black patent leather purse entices the eye, toys with the mind and fills the heart with shopaholic lust. [more] | |

| | |
 Aptly titled Nexus Vomitus, the performance artist Millie Brown created this unique canvas especially for our Inside/Out exhibition during a LiveStudio event on 30 July.

In 2008, she played muse in Nick Knight's About a Boy gender-blending fashion editorial shoot for the April issue of British Vogue, and our film Freja, captured on the set of the photoshoot, exploring the peripheries of masculine and feminine.
