EDITING KATE
#########
Kate Moss is undoubtedly one of the world's most photographed women - and in our latest fashion film series, Editing Kate, SHOWstudio.com invite a selection of contemporary video editors to craft their own fashion film from footage captured of Kate Moss during Nick Knight's editorial for the December 2010 issue of Vogue Italia. The resulting fashion films will be released over spring 2011, alongside interviews with each of the editors underlining their individual approach to the footage, the process of 'editing Kate', and the emerging genre of fashion film - consistently championed by Nick Knight and SHOWstudio.com

The first film of the Editing Kate series, Tomorrow Night We'll Go Anywhere by Jamie Harley, is now live at SHOWstudio.com

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.
