 As fashion takes a rest from the marathon sprint that was the S/S 2011 Collections, withdrawal symptoms call for some obsessing on next season's offerings and propositions. Alongside all our real-time report uploads and Chris Moore's live catwalk images from all four catwalk capitals, we can exclusively showcase Ruth Hogben's cinematic exploration of Gareth Pugh's S/S 2011 collection, adding more fuel to the film versus show debate currently raging in fashion.

 Fashion waits for noone - not even Barbie - as proved in our latest selection of whirlwind videos captured by our intrepid intern from the Paris round of shows. From scouting the stylish fashionistas outside the venues, to capturing Galliano's maquillage-laden mannequins post-show, the thoughts of Anna Dello Russo and, of course, a few of the key shows themselves, these exclusive films uncover Paris fashion from Barbie's personal angle. Stay tuned for more from Barbie on the SHOWStudio.com BLOG. [more] | |
| FROM THE SHOP LAUREN KELLEY | |
| | |
 Altoids award winner Lauren Kelley innovatively transforms our perception of the archetypal Barbie doll in her unique 2006 film Big Gurl. Kelley's twenty-one minute stop-frame animation explores issues of racial identity, womanhood, self-image and gender stereotypes through the unconventional use of African-American Barbie dolls. A composed narrative aids the three stories in Big Gurl, whilst each plastic figurine occupies their own voice that ultimately brings to life the inanimate objects of human depiction. Addressing such serious subjects through a child's plaything makes Kelley's acclaimed film perfect for our exhibition In Wolves Clothing: Re-imagining the Doll. [more] | |
| FROM THE ARCHIVE FUTURE TENSE | |

 As the second half of our latest fashion film season The Fashion Body kicks off, we look back to Future Tense, our 2008 series of video shorts that celebrated a host of fresh fashion talent. Inspired by Hywel Davies' book 100 New Fashion Designers, SHOWStudio.com approached a selection of fashion's brightest new names - including Rodarte, Todd Lynn, Pierre Hardy, Aitor Throup and Peter Jensen - to create films to encapsulate their individual aesthetic and identity. A Q&A with the designer accompanies each film, alongside a selection of specially-commissioned essays from young journalists from the fashion industry on various ideas raised by the series, and on the future of fashion today.
