| The third day of sitters from Nick Knight's marathon 200 Portraits for the 30th anniversary issue of i-D magazine launched today, showcasing video portraits edited from exclusive footage captured live on set during last December's shoot. The sitters immortalised in motion image this week are an exhaustive transcontinental list, including model Amber Le Bon, avant-garde haute coiffeur Charlie Le Mindu, jewellery designer Dominic Jones, set and prop designer Gary Card, statuesque Boombox and Ponystep door 'man' Jeanette, legendary stylist and accessory designer Judy Blame, pop sensation Leona Lewis, leading hairstylist Luigi Murenu, artist, musician and filmmaker Susanne Oberbeck and a bevy of international fashion design talent, including London superstar siblings Christopher and Tammy Kane, Gemma Slack, Louise Gray, Roksanda Ilincic and Givenchy's Creative Director Riccardo Tisci. Each Wednesday at 15:00 BST, SHOWstudio.com will launch a new selection of video portraits captured on a specific date, the series as a whole documenting not only this ground-breaking live shoot but a slice of twenty-first century popular culture.

| CURRENT THE FASHION BODY | |
| | |
 Our Fashion Body is growing at an exponential rate, with submissions from a litany of fashion's leading names. This week, our cinematic selection include a re-imagining of the neck and collarbone by artist and erotic jeweller Betony Vernon, photographer Jason Evans' right upper arm (quite literally!), while on Friday we launch our mouth, as seen by filmmaker and photographer Barnaby Roper and model Natasa Vojnovic. Our textual explorations of this unique series come courtesy of fashion journalist Leisa Barnett and i-D's Milly McMahon, both proffering profoundly personal pieces on the impact of fashion upon the human form. Tune in each weekday to SHOWstudio.com for the launch of a new film or essay on the theme of The Fashion Body. [more] | |
| FROM THE SHOP BLACK & WHITE BAD SETS, 2010 | |
| | |
 Worn by punks, sheriffs and collectors alike, the badge is a form of embellishment constantly at the forefront (and breast pocket) of fashion. So when the legendary designer Judy Blame compiled an exclusive limited edition of his famed Black & White Badges during a LiveStudio event for our Blackwhite exhibition we were thrilled. This monochrome collection of pins consists of a signed print and nine customised badges awash with Blame's emblematic and playful imagery, including mohawked babies, safety pins and hand-stamps. These statement pieces are unquestionably from the hand of this enduring enfant terrible and the perfect accessory to mark the end of your summer. [more] | |
| FROM THE ARCHIVE IN CAMERA, TRACEY EMIN | |
| | |
 With her monoprints on show at the venerable Royal Academy of Arts through September, the moment felt right to glance back to our own intimate one-on-one with world-renowned British artist Tracey Emin. Known predominantly for her controversial, illuminative and personal projects, Emin was the perfect candidate for our unique In Camera interview series. Her candid Q&A offered the same opportunity for revelation when the artist sat down back in June 2003 to exclusively and candidly answer a probing selection of questions posed by close friends, family, celebrity fans and the public-at-large.
