— #asif Fashion Film and Editorial Our '#asif' fashion film and editorial launched this week! '#asif' is a collaboration between our own Nick Knight and stylist Simon Foxton that explores the impact of our exposure to the visual language of the internet. The film features 3D visuals by our own digital art director Jon Emmony and draws together the unique aesthetics of the web. 'The internet is such a huge presence in life it's bound to issue a new form of art. This is the first step in SHOWstudio's vision of that form,' says Knight. — Collections — Couture A/W 14 Couture Coverage The Menswear collections may be over, but our coverage of the catwalk action is not!
