Roving reporters Lou Stoppard and David Hellqvist have been sending their reviews from the front rows. Enjoy them alongside full runway looks from each collection, live show streams, 'Voicemail' interviews with designers, stylists and casting directors working on the shows, and our exclusive curation of the most revealing behind-the-scenes social media. — Interview — Subjective Karen Elson by Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott In the latest instalment of our rolling 'Subjective' interview series, Karen Elson talks to Nick Knight about posing nude for Mert & Marcus and the perils of over-production. 'They keep you on your toes those two, or they keep me on my toes' she says of the dynamic duo. 'They really treat you like a family, when you're in their camp, you're in their camp, it's breakfast, lunch and dinner and then maybe dancing until dawn'. — Interview — Transformative Val Garland on Gareth Pugh Our running 'Transformative' series of exclusive interviews with stylists, make-up artists and hairdressers returns. This week influential make-up artist Val Garland discusses her experiences of working on a fashion film by Ruth Hogben to celebrate Gareth Pugh's collaboration with MAC Cosmetics: 'It's mysterious, it's quite gothic and dark, like Gareth, so I think it was a good collaboration.' — Collections — Illustrations Joshua Osborn & Richard Kilroy As part of our Spring/Summer 2016 menswear coverage we invited illustrators Joshua Osborn and Richard Kilroy to interpret the key collections from Milan and Paris respectively. Gosha Rubchinskiy, Giorgio Armani, Damir Doma and Vivienne Westwood are among those collections re-imagined as fashion illustrations. Browse the complete selection of their works on Tumblr, or shop them at SHOWstudio/MACHINE-A. — Live Shoot — Nick Knight & Amanda Harlech Amor Inspired by the image of a blackened sunflower head, Nick Knight and Amanda Harlech unite on a live shoot featuring model-of-the-moment Molly Bair in a selection of Junya Watanabe and Comme des Garcons. Entitled 'Amor', the project explores the parallels between creativity and love - both all-encompassing, yet transient. Tune in and watch the shoot unfold live from the studio on Sunday 27 June and Monday 28 June from 11:00 BST. — Competition — Marques'Almeida S/S 15 Competition winner SHOWstudio is excited to announce Ronan Mckenzie as the winner of our Marques'Almeida S/S 15 campaign competition. The London-born stylist and photographer's submission consisted of a playful short film and stills shot on an old JVC tape recorder, which was then plugged into a TV and filmed again on her iPhone. From the exuberant performances of models Jessie Keegan and Ellen Rose Christophers to the nostalgic filming process, the film captures Marques'Almeida's undone aesthetic perfectly. Watch now and browse the rest of the submissions. — Fashion Film — County of Milan Marcelo Burlon SHOWstudio presents a new fashion film created by Marcelo Burlon for his brand County of Milan. Released in tandem with the A/W 15 collection, the film is a celebration of bravery and passion. The collection plays with the esoteric dualism between the black and the red, inspired by gauchos from Burlon's homeland, Patagonia. 'Its core mood is a contemporary re-interpretation of gaucho apparel with a hint of intergalactic futurism - a space gaucho' Burlon explains. Directed by Daniel Sannwald, alongside creative director Heiko Keinath and with make-up by Isamaya Ffrench, the idea is brought to life by dancers Louis McMiller, Kukiko Takase and Karen Bengo. — Interview — In Conversation Val Garland & Terry Barber In a new addition to our 'In Conversation' interview project, make-up artists Val Garland and Terry Barber sat down with Lou Stoppard to discuss Alexander McQueen as part of the 'V&A Connects' series. 'Lee wanted his woman to be different… it was the other side of aspirational beauty' says Barber of McQueen's unconventional aesthetic. The pair reminisce about their involvement in some of the late designer's most celebrated shows, from Voss ('It was botox beauty') to No. 13 ('The only time I saw Lee cry'). Garland summarises: 'He gave me some of the most fantastic moments in my career that will always live with me. Wasn't I lucky to be a part of it?' Watch the complete conversation now. — From The Shop — Sale Further reductions Don't miss the SHOWstudio / MACHINE-A Summer Sale, with up to 60% off selected S/S 15 clothes and accessories.

— Subjective Liberty Ross by Nick Knight In the latest instalment of our rolling 'Subjective' interview series, Liberty Ross and Nick Knight discuss their long working relationship, modelling after motherhood, and the importance of performance within fashion imagery. 'I actually feel more confident in my body - before I was a little girl and now I'm a woman. I understand my body and I have so much respect for it, I can't believe what women's bodies do. I'm staggered by it', says the supermodel of her approach towards modelling post childbirth. — Interview — In Fashion Ellen von Unwerth On Monday 15 June, Ellen von Unwerth visited the studio to talk about her life in fashion live on camera. On-demand footage of the photographer and film director's candid conversation is now available to watch for a limited time only as part of our ongoing 'In Fashion' series. Hear von Unwerth discuss femininity, defining sexiness and her love of reportage photography: 'I like to capture life - what was happening, not just the dresses they were wearing.' — Interview — In Fashion Tom and Ruth Chapman Edited footage of Tom and Ruth Chapman's forthright 'In Fashion' interview is now available. The co-founders and CEOs of MATCHESFASHION.COM sat down with Lou Stoppard on 8 October 2014 to discuss the differences between running a shop and a website and what makes a successful brand, explaining that 'the brand starts with the product. If the product isn't good, the product isn't good.' Watch the condensed conversation now and peruse the 'In Fashion' archive. — Fashion Film — Scripting a New World Dejan Jovanovic Watch 'Scripting a New World', a fashion film curated and produced by art director Dejan Jovanovic. The piece focuses on LGBT awareness, specifically, 'the struggle of young people growing up, being different, and the management and realisation of how being different is the essence of change towards a new future.' Using the foundations of a poem written by Joanna Hoffman, director Christina Ladwig, stylist Julien Alleyne, and Jovanovic aim to capture the struggle and turn the concept into something relatable. — Collections — Illustrations Clément Louis Review Clément Louis' incredible illustrations of the London menswear shows, commissioned as part of our S/S 16 coverage. Louis reinterpreted key collections including Craig Green, J.W. Anderson and Alexander McQueen. The complete selection can be found on our Tumblr or embedded in our Collections coverage.

Inspired by the idea of pilgrimage, both historical and modern, the film juxtaposes the traditional holy man with a surfer - one on a search for enlightenment, the other on a quest for the perfect wave. 'The stillness and beauty of the film composition and the brightness and simplicity of the clothing create a strong, modern image,' explains the designer. — Collections — Menswear S/S 16 Live feeds, catwalk images, 'Voicemail' interviews and show reports Keep up with the happenings at the London, Pitti, Milan and Paris menswear collections with our extensive collections coverage.

Don't miss out. — Tumblr Take-over — Nostalgia Liberty McAnena Last week, fashion history and theory graduate Liberty McAnena took over the SHOWstudio Tumblr with an exploration of nostalgia. McAnena's curation focused first on childhood, looking at the way fashion, an industry preoccupied with newness and forward thinking, loves also to look back and reminisce about the past. Day two constituted a hark back to high school days, while other posts explored love, fashion's fetishisation of trauma and retrofuturism. Head to Tumblr to view all the posts. — From the Archive — Girly Nick Knight & Rei Nadal As we launch Rei Nadal and Nick Knight's latest collaborative film, revisit 'Girly'. Motivated by the fluffy, sparkly bastions of girlishness on the runways - from Ryan Lo's tutus to Meadham Kirchhoff's minis - SHOWstudio launched this series as a means of unpicking fashion's relationship with overt, cartoon femininity. Envisaged by Lou Stoppard and director Nick Knight, the project features a film by Knight and Nadal, alongside scholarly essays and relevant interviews.
