CURRENT GARETH PUGH S/S 2011
For Gareth Pugh's sensational S/S 2011 collection presentation yesterday, the British designer didn't feature his work on a catwalk, but on an enormous video screen, projecting a film of his latest collection to a captive audience. Simultaneously live here on SHOWstudio.com Pugh also broadcast his collaboration with filmmaker Ruth Hogben to a worldwide audience. Dense with Pugh's futuristic vision of fetishistic mirrored crinolines and giant inflatable coats in mind-boggling graphic prints the film is fulfilling and being heralded as a successful 'modern alternative' to live catwalk events.

SUSANNA LAU: Poolside Beginnings Anthony Vaccarello begins proceedings in Paris and like a fresh breath of air, eschewing any notable trends and paving his own spliced and bare looks where there's an art in presenting a lack of fabric. This wasn't bare necessities for the sake of sizzle - look beneath the silk jersey, printed silks (hinting at tropical as opposed to overstating it...) and wispy tulle and encased are metal structures controlling the drape as well as creating sexy yet severe collars at the neck.

Milan Fashion Week: A fond farewell I snapped this rather striking piece of Milanese public art outside of yesterday's Salvatore Ferragamo show (along with four thousand other blog-happy cameraphone users), just as we pulled into our final 24-hours of shows here in Milan. I couldn't help but compare it to the similarly empathic and aggressive mood... [more]

FROM THE SHOP DEVON, MAGDALENA, TIIU, 2008
Since the Danish duo's inspirational retrospective at the Barbican back in 2008, the notoriety of Viktor and Rolf's high-fashion miniatures has continued to rise but never before have their dolls portraits been captured. Photographed by in house photographer Peter Stigter, three eminent dolls from the Black Hole, NO and Bedtime Story collections feature in our current exhibition In Wolves Clothing: Re-imagining the Doll.

Legendary fashion photographer Erwin Blumenfeld's iconic imagery has been inspiring designers and fellow snappers for decades, most recently seen in a stand-out collection from London's Jonathan Saunders on Tuesday.

CURRENT BARBIE BLOG
It looks like Barbie has arrived at SHOWstudio.com just in time. Last week she was rushed off her feet with Fashion's Night Out, designer meetings and greeting a swarm of the city's favourite fashionistas, but things are only going to get harder as London Fashion Week creeps around the corner! Barbie is in for a whirlwind ride, organising invites, chasing PRs, and of course attending the all-important shows in the even-more-important outfits.

COMING UP IN FASHION, ANNA DELLO RUSSO - LIVE
The next stellar fashion name interviewed live as part of our In Fashion series is Anna Dello Russo, Creative Consultant and Editor at Large of Japanese Vogue, and a front-row fixture on the fashion circuit. Baptised as a 'fashion maniac' by Helmut Newton, Dello Russo (and her world-renowned seventy piece fashion week wardrobe) is in town to digest the latest offerings from London's leaders, and takes time out from her busy show schedule to sit down with Fashion Director Alexander Fury at 9.15 BST on Monday 20 September for our latest live and unedited interview broadcast.
FROM THE SHOP GAGA, 2010
There are two names on everybody's lips as of late. One is the award-winning musician Lady Gaga - the other is New York based artist and illustrator Andrew Yang. Since the former needs little introduction - with eight VMAs to her name to date -- we'd like to focus on the latter, whose 'Kouklitas' are taking both New York and London Fashion Weeks by storm. Taken from the Greek word for doll, the 'Kouklitas' are Yang's most recent collection of high-fashion, couture sewn dolls. Created especially for our current exhibition In Wolves Clothing: Re-imagining the Doll, Yang meticulously hand embroidered, darned and painted this pint-sized tribute of one of the world's biggest stars in a precise replica of a key look from Alexander McQueen's S/S 2010 collection, and her own Bad Romance video. [more]
FROM THE ARCHIVE FASHION PANOPTICON - PREEN
The London label Preen is firmly established as a highlight of the New York collections - not least for S/S 2011. Back in 2004 we were afforded a rare glimpse behind the scenes and into the studio of design duo Justin Thornton and Thea Bregazzi as part of our 'Fashion Panopticon' series, delving into their working process on the eve of their S/S 2005 show. Alongside 360-degree imagery capturing every nook and cranny of the space sits but a short interview explaining why the particular building was chosen to cultivate their 'chaotic creativity'. [more]
