— Isabella Blow Award for Fashion Creator Nick Knight SHOWstudio are proud to announce that Nick Knight received the Isabella Blow Award for Fashion Creator at this year's British Fashion Awards for his outstanding contribution to the global fashion industry. Knight started his career in 1982 with the publication of his photography book 'Skinheads' and has since worked with the biggest names in the industry. In 2013, Knight photographed the 'Isabella Blow: Fashion Galore!' exhibition catalogue. Alongside the catalogue, SHOWstudio conducted a series of interviews with Blow's main collaborators and friends. To celebrate both Blow and Knight, revisit the series. — Documentary — Sole Searching in South America 2 Gary Aspden, Ian Brown and Robert Brookes In 2014, Gary Aspden was informed about a shop in Buenos Aires filled with vintage adidas pieces. Aspden, alongside other adidas fans Ian Brown and Robert Brookes, visited the Argentinian store and became friends with its owner, Carlos Ruiz. Their journey was documented in 'Sole Searching in South America.' In the sequel, Aspden and the group return to the now famous store to present Ruiz with the exclusive 'Carlos' shoe. — Essay — The North Country in History Adrian Green As part of our 'North' series - a project questioning the way the North of England is portrayed in fashion - academic Adrian Green has written an explorative essay on the history of Northern England.

Also on display is Michael Boadi's new perfume 'Magnificent Rose' and two exclusively designed Gareth Pugh garments.

Inspired by the horror film 'A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night,' the editorial will see Molly Bair and Cierra Skye styled by Harlech in looks from the likes of Celine, Balenciaga and Chanel, with hair by Sam McKnight and make-up by Isamaya Ffrench. — From The Blog — Isabella Blow Fashion Award Nick Knight SHOWstudio is proud to announce that our director Nick Knight is receiving the 2015 Isabella Blow Fashion Award for Fashion Creator at this year's British Fashion Awards. Starting his career in 1982 with the publication of his first photography book 'Skinhead,' Knight has gone on to become of the most iconic and innovative fashion photographers, receiving an OBE in 2010. — Fashion Film — Reverie Tessa Kuragi Nick Knight's editorial for AnOther's A/W 15 issue featuring Tessa Kuragi has come to life in a new fashion film. Intrigued by the duality of Kuragi's life - days spent researching psychoanalysis, evenings spent freely exploring her sexuality and engaging in shibari bondage - the film sees the model in a state of psychological turmoil. — Fashion Film — Adoration and Parfois, Mon Corps Me Trahit Marc Blackie and Tessa Kuragi Alongside Nick Knight's editorial featuring Tessa Kuragi, we've launched two films by erotic filmmaker and photographer Marc Blackie starring the model. Challenging notions of sexuality and de-constructing the clichés of erotica, the films confront the viewer's boundaries of intimacy and the stereotypes of gender. Kuragi battles with her body, is manipulated and made subservient to Mackie. — Fashion Film — Flowers of Evil Joe Lally 'Flowers of Evil,' a new film by the avant-garde filmmaker Jo Lally, is an exploration of an act of murder and its artistic representation. Starring actors Dorian Gray and Jhanelle Castillo, with styling by Matthew Ellenberger and soundtrack by UMUVOVA, the work is a mediation on the visual allure we seek in violence in the cinema. — From the Shop — New Womenswear Arrivals Hyein Seo Our SHOWstudio/MACHINE-A online store has had a delivery from the womenswear designer Hyein Seo. This winter, wrap yourself in her corduroy jacket adorned with patches, or stand out in a neon sign trench coat. Embroidered dresses, t-shirts and sweatshirts are also on offer.
