— Punk Bella Freud Knit queen Bella Freud reminisces about growing up listening to punk music in this new addition to our 'Punk' fashion film series. 'When I was 16 I was sharing a flat with my older sister Rose. One day she came home with the 'Never Mind the Bollocks' album by the Sex Pistols. I remember listening to the record before going to school,' she explains. Watch 'Girl Boils Egg' or shop the featured looks from SHOWstudio Shop. — Instagram — Fashion Galore! Countdown Nick Knight and Isabella Blow Isabella Blow fans who are eagerly anticipating Somerset House's 'Fashion Galore!' exhibition can count down to the opening date in style by following Nick Knight on Instagram! Knight photographed Blow's extensive wardrobe for the exhibition's accompanying book and will be releasing one image per day on his account until 20 November. See items from Blow's wardrobe modelled by the likes of Liberty Ross, Xiao Wen Ju and Alexia Wight. — Fashion Film — Punk Younji Ku Young filmmaker Younji Ku is the latest contributor to offer up a film as part of our rolling 'Punk' series. Ku's work explores the connections between punk and the Dada movement. The result? 'Punk/Dada', a playful film that borrows and blends imagery from both movements. Watch it now. — Book Club — The Anatomy of Fashion Colin McDowell Book Club will return next week on 30 October 2013 at 13.30 GMT. We're excited to have respected fashion commentator Colin McDowell in the studio to talk about his new publication 'The Anatomy of Fashion: Why we dress the way we do'. He will be joined in the discussion by The Independent's Alex Fury, Mr Porter's Jeremy Langmead and our own Lou Stoppard. — Essay — Behind the seams Ana Kinsella Ana Kinsella offers her take on the recent S/S 14 collections in a new gender-themed 'Behind the Seams' essay. 'The Feminine Complex' unpicks fashion's growing awareness of the diversity of womanhood. 'Girlishness is no longer synonymous with vulnerability,' argues Kinsella. Read on now. — Interview — Punk: Photography Kevin Cummins and Judy Linn Nick Knight has rung up two more punk photographers to talk about their era-defining photographs. Judy Linn discusses her portrait of punk-poet Patti Smith and photographer Robert Mapplethorpe, while music photographer Kevin Cummins talks about his now definitive shot of Joy Division's Ian Curtis, taken during one of the band's rehearsal sessions. Listen now. — From The Shop — Soo Catwoman Ray Stevenson SHOWstudio Shop has a number of fine art prints of iconic punk photographs for sale as part of our current exhibition. Selected by Nick Knight, the limited edition prints are on display at our Motcomb Street gallery until 15 November. Ray Stevenson's image of Soo Catwoman reveals an unusually alluring vision of a movement that valued the depraved and degenerate. — From The Shop — Fashion Illustrations Tobie Giddio Nick Knight selected artist and illustrator Tobie Giddio to interpret the New York womenswear Spring/Summer 2014 collections. Giddio chose to depict designers from Oscar de la Renta to Ralph Lauren in charcoal, which resulted in this stunning set of 13 illustrations. The drawings are exclusive to SHOWstudio Shop and are available to purchase online now. — From the archive — Studs Nick Knight Enjoyed Younji Ku's 'Punk' film? Take a look at 'Studs', a fashion film and series of portraits from the SHOWstudio archive. The film - edited by Ku and Nick Knight - and accompanying interviews show a range of women who refuse to comply with traditional notions of the sexes.
