Send in an image of your translation via Twitter (@SHOWstudio #DesignDownload) and/or email (design.download@showstudio.com) and stand a chance to have your frock star in an exclusive SHOWstudio fashion film. — Watch again — Flora Claire Barrow Claire Barrow was the first resident artist to create a piece for SHOWstudio's 'Flora' series. Hailed as a rising talent, Barrow is famed for her painted leather jackets. During her two-day LiveStudio the young fashion designer composed a rose-centric biker for Horrors' frontman Faris Batwin. Make sure to watch the on-demand footage of Barrow hard at work to catch a view of her tried and tested techniques. — Audio Mix — Fashion Mix Candice Swanepoel This week's anthemic mix is dropped by Victoria's Secret Angel and Versace front-girl Candice Swanepoel. Her ghetto mix of guilty pleasures and beat-heavy classics fuses the fluorescent hedonism of the late eighties with a darker undertone. Tracks such as Tupac's 'California Love' and MC Hammer's 'Can't Touch This' are brought bang up to date with Azelia Bank's cheeky '212'. Crank the volume and dance with Swanepoel's foot-stomping selection. — From the Archive — Twelve Days Giles Deacon, Christopher Kane, Marios Schwab... In 2006, SHOWstudio celebrated the twelve days of Christmas in collaboration with Swarovski and twelve of our most fashionable friends, including Giles Deacon, Christopher Kane and Marios Schwab. In true SHOWstudio 'making of' fashion, over four days we asked twelve creatives to each decorate a Nick Knight print with Swarovski crystals, all while capturing the results on film. — From the Shop — Christmas Gifts Nick Knight book SHOWstudio Shop has curated a selection of unique pieces for an unforgettable season of giving. One particular treasure is Nick Knight (2009) which details Knight's work from 1990 and explores his influence on fashion communication. With more than 300 images, this is a must have for any fashion lover's library. SHOWstudio Shop also has fantastic one-of-a-kind works of art and exquisitely hand-crafted objects, so make sure to log on and shop to your heart's content.

— Re-see Gareth Pugh Feel like you've missed out on key details from last season's shows? SHOWstudio's S/S 13 'Re-sees' provide the perfect opportunity for new insights into a collection. This week we present Gareth Pugh in conversation with Lou Stoppard. The designer divulges his South American cock-fighting inspiration, the conscious role of transitions within the show and his frustrations with showing in Paris. Take in all the subtle splendor of his most recent show with our 'Re-see' now! — Fashion Film — Debris Erica Schreiner Video and performance artist Erica Schreiner contributes her newest film, 'Debris', an autobiographical piece about loss, communication and the loss of communication. The poignant work sees silence and sound collide in an auditory assault that prompts a sense of vulnerability from the viewer. — Essay — Fashion Fetish Victoria Turk Journalist Victoria Turk ends our 'Fashion Fetish' essay series with her response to Alice Hawkins' candy coloured film, 'Hello Rory'. Turk questions Hawkins' idealised image of the lingerie-clad baby doll and deconstructs the notion of female exhibitionism and sexual liberation. — Audio Mix — Fashion Mix Bella Freud London-based designer Bella Freud offers up this week's 'Fashion Mix' with a nostalgic selection of sixties and seventies hits. From classic pop ballads by the likes of David Bowie to alternative rock anthems by Primal Scream, Freud's selection is a perfect balance of anarchy and order; every bit as idiosyncratic as her trademark knitwear and tailoring. — From the Shop — Vogue On Christian Dior Charlotte Sinclair In the wake of our very first 'Book Club' broadcast, SHOWstudio Shop is selling the books from the first installment of the 'Vogue On' series. Charlotte Sinclair's 'Vogue On Christian Dior' is perfect to put under the Christmas tree. The book is a treasure trove of interesting fashion facts and exclusive Dior imagery from Vogue's archives.
