— North
Lou Stoppard and Adam Murray
Exploring the existing clichéd depictions of the North of England in fashion imagery, Lou Stoppard and the Manchester-based academic Adam Murray ask creatives such as Simon Foxton, Claire Barrow and Gareth Pugh about their childhood, heritage and how growing up in the North influenced their aesthetic. In this comprehensive new project, essays, interviews and briefs aim to unpick the importance of a place.

— A Beautiful Darkness
Nick Knight, Rei Nadal, Ruth Hogben and Jeff Vash
Challenging the safeness of contemporary fashion imagery, 'A Beautiful Darkness' features a series of fashion films on the theme of horror by four of the world's most talented fashion filmmakers. Nick Knight and Charlotte Stockdale's film explores what it is that we are willing to put our faith in, while Ruth Hogben and Gareth Pugh examine man's internal conflict with chaos vs. control. Rei Nadal experiments with elements of classic cinema and Jeff Vash follows the search of sin and pleasure.

— Sweet
Nick Knight and Jane How
For 'Sweet' - one of the first projects on SHOWstudio - stylist Jane How recreated her favourite looks of S/S 00 using sweet wrappers, cupcake cases and doilies while Nick Knight recorded the result on a 3D scanner. 'Sweet' is Knight's earliest fashion film made with 3D imaging. Feeling inspired? Knight is looking for the world's best fashion filmmakers to enter SHOWstudio's Fashion Film Award in collaboration with QIC Global Real Estate.
