| CURRENT THE FASHION BODY | |
| Our Fashion Body film series continues to grow, featuring films and essays from a mix of fashion's most inspiring and influential designers, stylists, photographers, models and journalists. Our cinematic body this week is augmented by a Northern Soul revival courtesy of SHOWstudio.com's Amy Ireland, a surreally art-directed penis from the mind of Simon Costin, and a terribly fashionable right ear, lending itself to a conversation between visionary image-maker Nick Knight and American Vogue's Phyllis Posnick, long-time collaborator of iconic photographer Irving Penn. Set alongside essays by Vogue.com's New York fashion correspondent Lauren David Peden and star blogger Susanna Lau (a.k.a. Susie Bubble), indulge in the latest offerings from our expansive Fashion Body. Tune in each weekday to SHOWstudio.com for the launch of a new film or essay on the the theme of the Fashion Body.

| FROM THE SHOP Peter Jensen and Laurie Simmons | |
| | |
 As fashion collaborations go the 2009 union of Danish designer Peter Jensen and New York based photographer Laurie Simmons is one of extraordinary substance. Instead of a traditional catwalk show or presentation, the two creatives combined forces to produce miniature versions of Jensen’s designs. The pair painstakingly minimized the outfits to fit doll-like measurements and placed the collection on cardboard cut-outs of varying posed models. Simmon’s then took to her camera, documenting the embroidered models in her signature dollhouse style. These remarkable paper dolls are the perfect pint-sized addition for those of us who can but aspire to collect these artists on a – parden our pun – larger scale. [more] | |

| FROM THE ARCHIVE FLOWERS FOR KATE | |
| | |
 With our Florist show opening in a week's time, our 2007 project 'Flowers For Kate' felt like the perfect antidote to the encroaching chill of winter. Celebrating the iconic beauty of Kate Moss, Nick Knight invited the public to send their own floral tribute to this British style icon, commemorating the results in a unique fashion film and shoot for V Magazine. Poetry composed on set by Roddy Lumsden accompanies an image-gallery of personalised floral greetings to Kate from the likes of John Galliano and Christopher Bailey Created from 360-degree imagery and set to a soundtrack of Kate's recital of Lumsden's final poem - simply entitled 'Bloom' - the final film showcases the foliate forms of S/S 2008's key collections. A hypnotic blossom, exposing a beautiful communion between fashion and nature. [more] | |
