| CURRENT NEWGEN//TEN | |
| 2012 is still in its infancy, but our first live shoot of the year, NEWGEN//TEN, kick off this morning at 11:00 GMT! To celebrate a decade of fashion giant Topshop sponsoring the British Fashion Council's NEWGEN scheme - offering vital support to the next generation of young fashion talent - Nick Knight teams with Topshop creative director Kate Phelan to create a fashion film starring Karlie Kloss. The film itself will showcase Phelan's pick from ten years of Topshop collaborations, combining garments from the one-off ranges created by London talents including Marios Schwab, Meadham Kirchhoff, Mary Katrantzou and Christopher Kane into a unique synthesis representing the very best of London's stellar fashion decade 2002-2012. Expect all the wild creativity, drama and invention that has come to characterise British fashion at its finest. [more] | |

 As a holiday gift from SHOWstudio to Lady Gaga fans worldwide, on Christmas Day, 25 December 2011 we were thrilled to release the latest addition to our Monster Ball video project - two unique interactives, devised around video imagery from The Monster Ball and released ahead of the final film to complete this unique film project. Created by interactive designer Daniel Brown and based exclusive 3-D scans of Lady Gaga (in those incredible Alexander McQueen armadillo heels and little else) by Kev Stenning of Rapido3D, these interactives allow you to explore a diamond-encrusted rendering of the Lady herself in three-dimensions.

| FROM THE SHOP SENSE OF SPACE: WAKE, 2000 | |
| | |
 Collaborating through installation, performance, sculpture and photography since the mid 1980’s, the Gao Brothers have long tackled feelings of isolation, otherness and dispossession. In Wake, a piece from their Sense of Space series, the Gao Brothers confinement of their subjects physically within the half abandoned cupboards opens the viewer to the narrative of isolation and compartmentalisation. While there are numerous men in the composition none can speak to the other. But it is through this isolation that the Gao Brother's join them, making a more universal comment on how ultimately we are not alone. [more] | |
| FROM THE ARCHIVE LYRIC | |
| | |
 Kylie Minogue, Nick Rhodes, Bobby Gillespie and Julie Verhoeven were just some of the leading fashion, music and art creatives who came together for Lyric, a 2004 film project that broke new creative ground using the latest 'third generation' mobile-imaging technologies. Each contributor or creative pairing was asked to make a series of short films, or 'motion clips', that visually interpret the song lyrics of their choice - including Donna Summer's 'I Feel Love', Goldfrapp's 'Strict Machine' and Barry Manilow's 'Copacabana' - producing one clip for each lyric line. The films were recorded via a Motorola phone with video call facility on 3's video mobile network. [more] | |
