— Fashion Fetish Liberty Ross Liberty Ross collaborates with photographer Polly Borland to create a subversively sinister view of eroticism. 'Dollywood' offers a potent vision of the interplay between primitive sexual fetishism and naive, childlike play. Drawing on the aesthetic of Borland's current artwork, the piece tackles the taboos surrounding fetish, questioning the extent to which sexual acts like dressing up and tying each other up have their basic roots in natural youthful urges. — Watch Again — Selling Sex Atsuko Kudo Those who missed latex designer Atsuko Kudo's recent lesson in dressing for pleasure will have twenty-four hours to access full uncut footage this Friday, 25 May from 17:00 BST. Watch Kudo envelope model Viktorija Skyte in layers of shiny second-skin fabric in a unique exploration of the dialogue between clothing and personal empowerment. — Watch Again — In Fashion Phillip Lim Phillip Lim's unedited 'In Fashion' interview will be re-broadcast for twenty-four hours on-demand next Tuesday, 29 May. The discussion with associate editor Lou Stoppard elicited soundbites such as, 'you've got to go through a whole lot of ugly to get to something pretty'. Tune in from 17:00 BST to hear more from the man who helped define contemporary American style. — Watch Again — In Fashion Simone Rocha Irish-born fashion designer Simone Rocha also took to the 'In Fashion' floor this week. Covering everything from dressing Lady Gaga to the inspirations behind her famous perspex-heeled brogue, the interview offers a new insight into the approaches and ambitions of one of London's most acclaimed young talents. Tune in on Wednesday 30 May from 17:00 BST to catch the original uncut footage, available for twenty-four hours. — Audio Mix — Fashion Mix Jonathan Kaye and Atsuko Kudo This week fashion stylist Jonathan Kaye and the pair behind latex label Atsuko Kudo serve as our resident Fashion Mix DJs. Kaye opts for a distinct eighties vibe - complete with a small Donna Summer tribute - while the Kudo duo nod to their 'Dressing for Pleasure' broadcast with an edited version of the mood-music tracks that accompanied last week's LiveStudio. — From the Archive — Forget-me-not Peter Saville and Julie Verhoeven Perfectly timed with our current sensual theme comes an erotic project from our 2002 archive. 'Forget-me-not' saw Peter Saville and Julie Verhoeven collaborate to mastermind an intricate, interactive 'wallpaper for the computer' inspired by contrasting innocent Toile de Jouy with dark Japanese rope suspension bondage. Peruse the accompanying essay and interview, or paper your abode in the resultant wallpaper, available from the SHOWstudio Shop. — From the Shop — Selling Sex Ponygirl, 2011 In this work, Vahge allows us to peer at one of her elaborate characters whose original costume is riddled with fetishistic undertones. Incorporating the surreal and drawing inspiration from literature, music, theater and classic portraiture, her work also references Victorian culture. — From the Blog — Liberty Ross Snow White and The Huntsman Like a rare and exquisite masterpiece the stars - Charlize Theron, Kristen Stewart - aligned and 'Snow White' began its incredible journey. — From the Blog — Lou Stoppard Nick Knight on Instagram Nick's been shooting, as well as watching, the throne. Our Twitter and Tumblr feeds are full of pictures of Kanye and co both on and off the stage.
