Comme des Gar�ons
Legendary designer Rei Kawakubo opened up her highly intellectual creative process for consideration in this unprecedented collaboration with SHOWstudio. Following the production of a photographic shoot from its inception to its delivery to Another Magazine for its September issue, this project demonstrated how the many creatives involved in making fashion imagery responded to the overarching conceptual direction of the celebrated Comme des Garçons visionary.
For the initial, three-day phase of the project, photographer Nick Knight and stylist Alister Mackie interpreted the emotional theatre of the Autumn/Winter '04 Commes des Garçons collection with its attenuated jacket sleeves. From there, follow the post-production of the resultant photographs in a dialogue between Knight and his imaging collaborator Allan Finamore as they extended the visual parameters of the pictures taken on set via digital manipulation. Finally, Kawakubo added the 'hand of the artist', imbuing the final images with her individual response to them.
A live discussion forum ran throughout the project, giving SHOWstudio viewers the opportunity to ask questions of the creatives active during each stage.

Simon Foxton, Nick Knight
Asked to contribute to the forthcoming 'Health of the Nation'-themed, August issue of i-D magazine, Nick Knight and Simon Foxton elected to create a photographic story about the 'brutalising city': how it is brutalised by us, how it brutalises us and as a result, how it encourages us to brutalise each other.
Realising that London was only one of many possible locations for such a shoot, Nick and Simon decided to open their project up to SHOWstudio viewers worldwide, throwing down their brief as a gauntlet to the many internationally-based photographers we know view the site and contribute to the FORUM.
