EYES OF THE BEHOLDER
Toyin
In collaboration with Replay, SHOWstudio has invited photographer and filmmaker Toyin to turn her signature, romantic lens on the Italian denimwear company's Autumn/Winter '08-09 collection. Though shot in Robert Adam's exquisite, 18th century London townhouse at 33 Portland Street, Toyin and stylist Stevie Westgarth gave themselves poetic license to shift the date forward to the 19th century - the wild west to be specific - where winsome girls swooned over bare-chested boys who cracked bullwhips and wore the bowler hats of frontiersmen. But this resultant film short is no Calamity Jane-style caper. The faded elegance of the Georgian backdrop, combined with the contemporary energy of both choreography and Replay's collection, creates a spellbinding visual feast. To an electrifying soundtrack, specially composed by the Doi, sit back and witness the extraordinary models' performances that are this filmmaker's hallmark.

REVUE
On April 11 2007 SHOWstudio staged a live ‘happening’ in association with PlayStation 3, viewed by an on-site audience of fifty SHOWstudio viewers at a secret location and a global audience via webcast.
The SHOWstudio Revue created a dynamic performance space in which six different ‘zones’ were defined by dramatic or musical action. The project also drew a live audience into the complicity of the director/performer relationship by asking each member to record the event on camera. Excerpts of the footage were screened live using PlayStation 3s throughout the night and were included in the editing of an exclusive film unveiled by the SHOWstudio team later that month.

Penny Martin
Little known on the western hemisphere, Japan Fashion Week spent its fourth season in Tokyo in March 2007. Marking a new stop in SHOWstudio’s fashion itinerary, Penny Martin was there to uncover the creative output of a country whose aesthetic legacy has informed some of the most striking evocations of form to be displayed on the global catwalk.

LONDON FASHION WEEK A/W 2007-08
For the shows of Autumn/Winter '07/08, Penny’s brand of guerrilla phone reportage was beefed up by a newly appointed two-man army. HQ Girl Friday, Ingrid Hass, and MOET photographer-cum-party-flaneur, Clive Booth, joined her as they journeyed through the pageantry and pandemonium that is London Fashion Week. This season, produced the same quick-fire show commentaries and first-hand video footage as well as unprecedented high-resolution photos from the front line. Highlights included a peek into the glittering netherworld of Gareth Pugh, coverage of favourites Christopher Kane and Giles as well as our obligatory tour of all the most important tent corners.

HAUTE COUTURE S/S 2007
Penny Martin
For the first time in four years, the SHOWstudio Picture Phone journeyed to Paris Haute Couture Week, to document the unconstrained aesthetic ambition, extraordinary luxury and fastidious workmanship of the most exclusive end of the fashion industry. Sent directly from the opulent venues, taxis en route to the shows and after les defilés, Penny Martin captured the magic of the most outrageously imaginative and decadent of fashion weeks.

TWELVE DAYS
Nick Knight/Gemma Ward/Giles Deacon/Christopher Kane/Marios Schwab/Rebecca & Mike/Fred Butler/Paul Bruty/Simon Foxton/Alexis Marguerite Teplin
Over three days, 7, 8 & 11 December 2006 twelve friends of SHOWstudio came down to the live space to create one of 12 Days of Christmas videos, each decorating a Nick Knight silhouette of Gemma Ward with Swarovski crystal. In addition to webcasting the live event, each contribution was filmed from above and the footage was edited into a special film that was offered on SHOWstudio on each of the twelve days of Christmas (26 December – 6 January). Starting 7 December, set up day, viewers watched inspired hands at work to get a sneak preview of the final result.

ANTONY
In November 2005, SHOWstudio offered its international audience the unique opportunity to have their own photographic work featured in a Nick Knight photo shoot with Antony Hegarty, lead singer of Mecury Music prize winning group Antony and the Johnsons. As part of the concept for the portrait shoot on 1st December 2005, Nick Knight used a selection of photographic imagery, submitted by SHOWstudio viewers, to inspire an experimental musical performance. The visuals were projected onto Antony, resulting in a beautiful photographic spread that appeared in the February edition of i-D magazine. Incorporating a gallery with 500+ contributions from SHOWstudio viewers, documentation of the initial brief, shoot and the published story in i-D magazine, the project’s spectacular finalé piece took the form of an atmospheric film –featuring Antony and a myriad of inspirational imagery courtesy of SHOWstudio’ viewers- created by Nick Knight and edited by Sam Blair.

THE SOUND OF CLOTHES: ANECHOIC
Laura Bradley, Paul Hetherington, Nick Knight, Penny Martin, Ross Phillips, Zora Star
Anechoic is a 'collections story' project that used sound instead of visuals to interpret the essence of key garments from the A/W '06-7 season by leading fashion brands. A live recording session in a specialist recording studio -a hemi-anechoic chamber- on 1 June 2006 was used to create a series of groundbreaking interactives that for the first time in fashion media, detailed the precise sound of fashion materials such as feathers, sequins, glass crystals and beads, nylon, taffeta, leather, velvet, jacquard, zips and metallic chains. The live broadcast was also filmed, providing motion image footage of model Zora Star working in the unconventional, futuristic studio environment, which was then edited to create abstract shorts of each audio 'shot'.

SHELF APPEAL
Penny Martin
An artificial sweetener dispenser designed by Karl Lagerfeld, a hairbrush
whose bristles had been replaced by locks of human hair, coloured contact
lenses that sported the letters 'CD' across the iris: each of these fashion
curios occupied the weird territory between fashion garment and accessory,
making them qualify for SHELF APPEAL. For the bi-monthly 'Editor's Choice'
slot that ran from December 2003-4, Penny Martin selected her then current object of desire, got it into the SHOWstudio live space and gave it a good old written examination.
