| CURRENT THE FASHION BODY | |
 | |
 The first month of our Fashion Body films and essays is coming to an end, having showcased a dozen films and a clutch of essays around the powerful and provocative themes suggested by this exploration of the human body through fashion. This week, master stylist and accessory designer Judy Blame lead our cinematic explorations via a vision of the left wrist, followed by filmmaker Marcus Werner Hed's gender-bending expose of the left calf, while fashion photographer Craig McDean shows us the right thigh as a canvas for artistic expression on Friday. Essayist this week include Professor Sandy Black of the London College of Fashion, both posing and answering the question 'Who Is Fashion For?' while today our own Fashion Director Alexander Fury sheds light on the paradigm shift from the obsession over models' bodies to the obsession over the bodies of fashion editors at the international catwalk show.Tune in each weekday to SHOWstudio.com for the launch of a new film or essay on the theme The Fashion Body.

| CURRENT OBJECT FETISH | |
| | |
 The A/W 2010 season is drawing to a close as designers are prolifically putting together their offerings for the upcoming S/S 2011 fashion weeks. We too are wrapping up the current season of Object Fetish with a splendid finale, in the form of this delectable and devilishly cheeky corseted number from fêted Londoner Marios Schwab. S&M Pastoralism is the tongue-twisting term for this equally complex number, colliding the traditional Austrian garb of Schwab's training in Salzburg with a whiplash lacing of dominatrix power. A suitably strong ending to our first season of Object Fetish analysis - S/S 2011 begins in earnest in October! [more] | |
| FROM THE SHOP GREEN PINK CAVIAR | |
| | |
 As the end of our Inside/Out exhibition nears, the European debut of Marilyn Minter's 2009 film Green Pink Caviar does too. The eight minute journey screening in our Bruton Place video room is a visual accumulation of sensuous colours and vivid textures. Made quite simply with just a human mouth, a pane of glass and unusually melted substances the composition is abstracted through detail. The macro lens Minter used to capture lapping tongues and neon food-dye exposes the finest of details; licking lips, wet tongues, and melting candy become a means for Minter to merge many genres of art through her interest in the human form. Make sure you don't miss it! Inside/Out closes this Friday 13 August. [more] | |
| FROM THE ARCHIVE ONE IN TEN | |
| | |
 Our ongoing film season The Fashion Body explores and embraces the human form through fashion films and essays. To echo this celebration of the human form divine, we look back almost a decade, to our 2000 project One in Ten. Statistically, one in ten women will be diagnosed with breast cancer some time during their lives. In this personally motivated project, Nick Knight and stylist Katy England invited seven breast cancer survivors to take part in a fashion editorial shoot and share the intimate tales of their battle against the deadly disease. Embracing the reconstruction of the body and its triumph over the so often fatal illness, One in Ten showcases the models not as victims but as dark and ethereal powers of seduction. [more] | |

Next In Fashion interview - Anna Dello Russo!  Unfortunately, due to pressing Parisian engagements for his new role at Emanuel Ungaro, we have had to postpone our planned In Fashion interview with Giles Deacon until November - after the hectic preparations of S/S 2011 have died down into, well, hectic preparations for A/W 2011! However, that does mean that we can now announce our next scheduled interviewee: none other than Anna Dello Russo, the incredible and already-iconic larger-than-life Editor-at-Large of Vogue Japan...

More from Mr. Altuzarra  Frankly, I'm a bit of an Altuzarra addict these days. Even though the unedited footage of my In Fashion interview with Joseph himself is due to be re-streamed this afternoon at 18:00 BST, I couldn't keep away from his press day at Liberty, and a chance to get my mucky paws on a selection of those incredible boiled-wool, calfskin and goat-fur reclamations of eighties warrior woman attire...
