Coming up this Friday 3 September, it is the turn of award-winning musician and twenty-first century fashion icon Lady Gaga to put her eye behind the lens, quite literally, providing us with a cinematic snippet showcasing the left eye, the latest addition to this organically ever-growing depiction of the human body through a combination of fashion and moving image.

| FROM THE SHOP DOLL FACE LAMP, 2008 | |
| | |
 From a gigantic Barbie head to a bejeweled reindeer, Andy Hillman's window installations are far from run-of-the-mill. Taken from the May 2008 display at Dover Street Market, our Doll Face Lamp joined numerous other circles of decorative light to establish and celebrate the book launch of Pictures by Tim Walker. The hand painted, rosy cheeked, winking doll faces were meticulously stacked upon one another and mimicked characters from fairytale stories of a time gone by. Cleverly, the Doll Face Lamp works as both a sculptural art piece and a practical source of light and on top of that, its provenance is one that shines brightly. [more] | |
| FROM THE ARCHIVE FASHION DJS | |

 This Swarovski-sponsered, fully-fledged festival of fashion has definitely proved it's worth, not only during the three-day broadcast in 2008 on 88.7FM and SHOWstudio.com, but forever in film. The event is a true spectacle, condensed online into a carnivalesque, ten-minute cavalcade illustrating a unique marriage of fashion and music. With contributions from fashion greats including Naomi Campbell, Sam McKnight and Stephen Jones, and musical delights from Paloma Faith, Florence and the Machine and Boy George, this theatrical tapestry of talent extends its (Swarovski encrusted) hand once again as we celebrate all-that-glitters in the music scene… and just in time for this year's festival season.
