CURRENT LIVESTUDIO - SHYSTIE
When enigmatic MC Shystie delved deep into the basement space here at Bruton Place back in April, what emerged was a raucous array of spit-quick lyrics and lead heavy bass - but it wasn't just about the music. Styled by Nasir Mazhar in fashion from an array of London talent, this unique experience can be relived, vicariously, all over again on SHOWstudio.com with our exclusive edit of Shystie's two-song set. [more]
CURRENT OBJECT FETISH
The perfect antithesis to the minimalism of fashion’s majority for A/W 2010, this week's Object Fetish is Mary Katrantzou's weighty necklace, a fly-in-your-face fantastical slab of baroque ormolu. Pastiched from eighteenth-century interiors and portrait-frames, glittering in silver and gold and tumbling to cover the entire torso, its unapologetic excess is a welcome antidote to this, the season of the beige car-coat, and certainly worthy of our fetishistic attachment and attention. Want to know when new films are launched? Follow the SHOWstudio Twitter feed at twitter.com/showstudio [more]
CURRENT MIRROR MIRROR
Our five-day Mirror Mirror stint on the ground floor of Topshop Oxford Circus earlier this month saw dozens of creatives, stylists and image-makers act as guiding gurus for streams of eager high street shoppers. If you didn't manage to make it down during the installation's run, we offer you a second glance into their reflections this week as we launch both a video an image gallery documenting this event. Relive comments from the likes of Nicola Formichetti, Erin O'Connor and Edward Enninful, watch our video of the installation, or scour the gallery to see if your image made our final cut. [more]
FROM THE SHOP UNTITLED, 2009
Don't be fooled - though Ed Griffiths' densely compressed blocks are often mistaken for wood, the multi-disciplined designer creates his pieces from compressed calfskin, fusing the curvaceous and the linear into a structurally spectacular leather edition. These figurine-sized totems to minimalism are evocative of Richard Serra’s sculptural constructions and have featured in Lady Gaga’s tour video amongst numerous stage shows, films and catwalks. This leather-based artist is set to showcase his capabilities in our LiveStudio next week. Tune in from 13:00 BST from 1-4 June 2010 to watch Griffiths turn leather into rock solid, brutalist design. [more]
FROM THE ARCHIVE LYRIC
The creative pairing of our In Camera interviewee Lady Gaga with pop icon Beyoncé for their epic duet Telephone hails back to our 2004 project Lyric. Take your pick of synchronicities: collaboration of creatives such as stylist Katy England and Primal Scream's Bobby Gillespie, and Antipodean pop princess Kylie Minogue and Nick Knight; immortalisation of musical lyrics through innovative video; or, indeed, the fact that said motion image was shot on mobile telephones. Music and fashion, as ever, make fine bedfellow - hopefully this whets your appetite for Lady Gaga's live interview on Sunday. [more]

Master milliner Stephen Jones joins us at 11:00 BST this Thursday 20 May for an exclusive live interview which promises to be as unique as the bespoke creations he is famed for. Credited with revitalising modern fashion interest in millinery and with an incomparable career catapulted from the eclectic London club scene of the '80s to the heads of the Royal Family and every pristine up-do at Ascot, Jones' honourable history will come full-focus on Thursday as he becomes the latest subject of our In Fashion interview series.   Want to know when new projects are launched?

CURRENT OBJECT FETISH
Fashion fetish stereotype number one? Shoes. Odd, then, that this week's Object Fetish is showcasing only our second pair of the A/W 2010 season - Loewe's flirtatious, fetishistic fur-throttled Mary Janes. A bold choice for any fashion follower, there is evidently more than meets the eye - references to Surrealism, Louis XIV and the buttoned-up primness of a middle class housewife are thrown around in deciphering the meaning behind their triple-buckled charm. But they do look terribly pretty, also. [more]
COMING UP RAW POWER
What do fashion and martial arts have in common? Beauty, certainly. Technique, definitely. And cold, hard discipline. Filmmaker Sean Capone combines all of the above in a series of abstractly elegant art films celebrating the Alexander McQueen PUMA S/S 2010 collection, launching this Friday on SHOWstudio.com. After winning our Raw Power contest last year with his dynamic entry Tigersprung, Capone took both the title and inspiration for his final series of video vignettes from the philosophies of legendary samurai Miyamoto Musashi and his Book of Five Rings - combining fashion and martial arts into a beautifully synthesised (and flawlessly choreographed) whole. [more]
FROM THE SHOP BLACK TIE, 2010
According to London style-maker and artist Alister Mackie, as well as last weekend’s New York Times, the bow tie is back -  a simple style statement at first glance, but as ever, there are a myriad interpretations. Owing something to Hogarth's satirical Five Order of Periwigs - and not a little to those glass-imprisoned bug studies spicing up many a museological back-passageway - Mackie pins down a selection of fashion's finest specimens to chart the evolution of the humble dickie-bow from its archetypal 1920s form through to Dunhill and Lanvin’s latest au courant iterations. And in case of a sartorial emergency, you simply need to break the glass (we don't advise it though). [more]
FROM THE ARCHIVE IN CAMERA: BJORK
We're gearing up for our live broadcast of the latest In Camera with modern musical icon Lady Gaga, so the time seems ripe to look back to our October 2003 interview with pop pioneer Björk. Rather than a live camera stream, the progress of Björk's revealing and intimate interview was shown onto the site through a series of image-captures, and a transcript typed real-time as the Icelandic star answered questions from fans across the world, including fellow industry legends Kylie Minogue and Michael Jackson.

CURRENT OBJECT FETISH
Is YSL a religion?

FROM THE SHOP BLACKWHITE
Inspired by the oldest dichotomy in the fashion book, the contrast between black and white, the latest exhibition at SHOWstudio Shop opened to a packed, and colourful, crowd last weekend. Fashion photography is, of course, a focal point - Irving Penn's celebrated portrait of his wife in a harlequin dress bounces against images Cecil Beaton captured of Audrey Hepburn in his monochrome My Fair Lady number, itself contrasting with Nick Knight's underexposed and oversized image of Kate Moss. As you might image, all this monochromatic-ness reverberates. So come down to the Bruton Place HQ and add a little colour to our lives. [more]
FROM THE ARCHIVE ALICE DOES VEGAS
The exhibition American Woman: Fashioning a National Identity launched at the Metropolitan Museum in New York last week with the traditional glossy gala opening. But cut through the creme de la creme of guests at the Wintour-led Costume Institute Gala and revealed is a different sort of woman influencing definitions of beauty today, deep in the heart of the American underbelly - the tanned and typified girls inhabiting strip clubs strewn across each of the United States. This week's piece from the archive sees peroxide-blonde photographer Alice Hawkins' lens focuses on the boom and busts of these American women in a photo series from Sin City itself. [more]
