FROM THE ARCHIVE GARETH PUGH A/W 2009
Following Gareth Pugh's latest Collection- conceived especially for a 'fashion film fresco' created with Ruth Hogben for Pitti Immagine #79 - the time feels ripe to look back to Pugh's first foray into presenting his collection via film, for A/W 2009. Again in collaboration with Hogben, this collaboration was dubbed 'mesmerising' by style.com's Tim Blanks - pushing the reset button on the way fashion viewed both the internet, and video presentation of clothing, and no doubt helping path the way for the future presentation of fashion imagery.

The time has come to bid farewell to our now fully blossomed exhibition Florist – the show that set about to celebrate an astounding decade of SHOWstudio.com. Reinventing the traditional nature of still life, artists such as Mary Temple, Daniel Brown and Yohji Yamamoto created cutting edge pieces that flourished alongside LiveStudio performances from Stephen Jones and Mary Katrantzou.

The perfect way to mark SHOWstudio’s ongoing innovation - here’s to the next ten years… [more]
FROM THE ARCHIVE EDITING FASHION
As we approach young editors to 'Edit Kate' in our latest fashion film season, our Editing Fashion project of 2005-6 feels especially appropriate to revisit.
