— Subjective Nick Knight and Pat Cleveland SHOWstudio's 'Subjective' interview series sees the history of contemporary fashion photography told from the subjects' perspectives. In our latest edition, model Pat Cleveland sits down with Nick Knight to discuss her time working with Guy Bourdin. Cleveland takes us behind the scenes of her first shoot with Bourdin in 1971, talking candidly about Bourdin's silent presence and minimal direction. 'He knew I would do anything for him, he was so convincing, I think he mesmerised me with his talent - I just wanted to be in that picture and make him happy,' says Cleveland. — From the Archive — Compulsive Viewing: The Films of Guy Bourdin Guy Bourdin Released to SHOWstudio by the Guy Bourdin estate to coincide with the 2003 'Guy Bourdin: Image Maker' retrospective at the Victoria and Albert Museum, 'Compulsive Viewing: The Films Of Guy Bourdin' showcases eleven individual fashion films, edited in 2002-2003 from never-before-seen, archival film. Exposing and exploring Bourdin's grasp of the moving image, this legacy of cinefilms is a stellar example of how a photographer's aesthetic translates to fashion film. — Interviews — North Gareth Pugh and Lou Stoppard Our 'North' project explores the various ways the North of England has been portrayed and stereotyped in media and fashion, pondering whether the place where someone has grown up influences their aesthetic. In the latest instalment, Lou Stoppard interviews Gareth Pugh, discussing his upbringing in Sunderland, the monuments in his hometown that hold a particular nostalgic importance to him and what the North fundamentally means to Pugh as a designer.
