— Transformative Nick Knight, Eugene Souleiman and Bjork Our 'Transformative' series examines the fashion world through the eyes of the best hair stylists and make up artists in the industry. In our latest episode, Nick Knight interviews hairstylist Eugene Souleiman about working with Björk on the cover of her 2011 album, 'Biophilia', photographed by Inez and Vinoodh. 'Björk was fixated by Hollywood redheads,' Souleiman explains as he talks to Knight about the thought-process and ideas behind the red wig. 'I wanted to make her hair like a cloud.' — Interview — In Conversation Jessica May Underwood In a new addition to our 'In Conversation' interview project, SHOWstudio editor Lou Stoppard and Jessica May Underwood discuss fashion illustration as part of the 'V&A Connects' series. Underwood reminisces about her involvement with Alexander McQueen, her work with Harrods and her artistic preferences. 'I believe that technology is going to augment hand-drawing. They'll compliment each other,' muses Underwood. — Project — North Adam Murray, Lou Stoppard, Jamie Hawkesworth, Ben Whyman and more 'North' is a project that explores the various ways the North of England has been portrayed and stereotyped in fashion media, while pondering whether the place where someone has grown up influences their aesthetic. In our latest instalment, figures from across fashion, such as photographers Jamie Hawkesworth and Nina Manandhar, set briefs to students studying fashion communication at Liverpool John Moores University that demanded time be spent out and about engaging with the community and exploring areas of the North. — Editorial — Mastered: MACHINE-A Anna Trevelyan, Ross Laurence and MACHINE-A As part of Nick Knight's Mastered image-making program, Anna Trevelyan tasked aspiring creatives with pitching a photoshoot inspired by both their own unique location and the stock at MACHINE-A. Ross Laurence sent the winning brief and went on to shoot with Trevelyan in a defunct California waterpark. See the full editorial on SHOWstudio and visit the SHOWstudio/MACHINE-A store to shop the S/S 16 looks featured from the likes of Ashish, Ryan Lo and Nasir Mazhar. — Fashion Film — The Photoshoot: Tigran Avetisyan S/S 16 Tigran Avetisyan Tigran Avetisyan is known for his irrelevant, wryly political films. His Spring/Summer 2016 film, The Photoshoot, comments on ever-changing views of beauty and fashion. 'I am fascinated how something that was 'cool' can fall out of favour within few seasons and be forgotten,' explains Avetisyan, adding that his S/S 16 'Best Hits' collection was dedicated to labels that are no longer relevant. — Fashion Film — Fashion Film Submissions Nick Knight As part of SHOWstudio's commitment to championing fashion film and the possibilities of showing clothing in movement, Nick Knight invites aspiring filmmakers from across the globe to submit their work to SHOWstudio, the home of fashion film. A selection of submissions that inspired or impressed him feature in our 'Fashion Film Submissions' project.

Move fast! — From the Archive — Unseen McQueen: Bellwether Nick Knight and Alexander McQueen SHOWstudio's 'Unseen McQueen' project celebrates Lee McQueen's legacy and the designer's long-running creative collaboration with Nick Knight. The pair began their relationship in 1996 and worked together continuously until McQueen's death in February 2010. In 2003, Nick Knight was commissioned by the CFDA to celebrate the growth and success of the Alexander McQueen label and Lee McQueen's CBE. A film of the designer illustrating a selection of his designs appeared on SHOWstudio at the time. Revisit the 'Bellwether' film to see recently edited and unseen footage of McQueen sketching looks from his A/W 03 'Scanners' and S/S 03 'Irere' shows.
