— North Christopher Shannon Motivated by questioning existing depictions of the North of England in fashion imagery, SHOWstudio editor-at-large Lou Stoppard and Manchester-based academic Adam Murray united to unpick Northern identity. As part of SHOWstudio's 'North' series, the duo invited key creative practitioners including Simon Foxton, Claire Barrow and Gareth Pugh, to discuss the links between their creative practice and their Northern upbringing. The latest interview sees Liverpudlian designer Christopher Shannon discussing the effect his hometown had on his sense of style and self. 'When you've never fitted in anywhere it's hard to feel there's a sense of home,' says Shannon. — Interviews — Hospital Rooms Steve Macleod Hospital Rooms is a registered charity that promotes the improved wellbeing of mental health service users by enhancing environments in hospitals with art, design and creative activity.
