BILLIE JEAN
Kate Moss/Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin
Intimate, spontaneous, low-tech and informal. These are not words one might associate with the work of legendary photographic duo van Lamsweerde & Matadin. Not only did this film short reveal the more lighthearted aspects of their shoots, however, as Kate Moss re-enacts Michael Jackson's classic dance routine, it demonstrated the photographers' working process as van Lamsweerde audibly encourages Moss to strike the playful poses for which this partnership has become known.

FASH-OFF
Gareth Pugh, Eugene Souleiman, Alex Box
Fêted for his commitment to creating provocative spectacles over mundane, workaday clothes, controversial young designer Gareth Pugh used the SHOWstudio live platform to stage a series of performances to mark Couture Week, the first week of July 2006. Each representing his attitude towards the different aspects of his whirlwind fashion career thus far, the afternoon broadcasts focused on themes of boredom and repetition, artifice and multiple personae, high-octane glamour and the falsity of easily dealt acclaim. Of course, no Gareth Pugh project would be complete without the attendant, out-of-control party, which he he threw to open the series.

FREEDOM OF LOVE
Brad Pitt
During a recent shoot for Vanity Fair, Nick Knight created a number of
on-set scenarios for intriguing visual and aural actions for subject Brad
Pitt to perform, so as to engage the actor in 'pique' performance. 'Freedom
of Love' is a short film which captured Pitt in action during the shoot,
energetically painting onto a huge blow up of his own face, and adding
caption, and contemplatively reading surrealist poetry. Pitt reads from
André Breton's poem 'Freedom of Love', a one stanza, sixty-line homage to his wife. The poem cites a beautiful litany of comparisons for her physical attributes, deftly playing with language that eludes any commonplace romantic imaging, instead presenting uncanny metaphors. Breton was the provocative, passionate leader of the avant-garde literary and artistic movement Surrealism, who believed in 'revolution of the mind', and in the 'marvellous' - dazzling combinations of words or visual images,
spontaneously created by automatic processes of the mind.- Movie Last updated 10 Jun 2004

GUISER
Leigh Bowery
Guiser presented a rare selection of original and previously unpublished material that looked at, listened to and wrote about the legendary figure Leigh Bowery. The extraordinary personage of Leigh Bowery has had an enormous influence on visual culture - across fashion, art, music and performance - and SHOWstudio wanted to celebrate this legacy. Guiser brought together previously unseen film footage of Bowery being photographed by Nick Knight, with unreleased sound material from 'Minty' demo tapes as a soundtrack. Also featured was an essay by one of Leigh's contemporaries, Donald Urquhart -whose own artistic output and creativity mirrors the breadth of Bowery's output, as well as intertwining creatively with it. Urquhart's text gave personal accounts of some of the posthumous events that have commemorated Leigh Bowery.

AMAZE ME was inspired by the brief issued by art director Alexi Brodovitch to photographer Richard Avedon — simply to “amaze him”.
The challenge asked you, the public, to respond to a brief set by a panel of six leading creative industry figures. Viewers had the chance to come along to one of our micro-studio booths and make a 30 second video pitch.
The best six entries won a PSP™(Playstation®Portable), plus an exclusive opportunity to work with the panellist they attempted to amaze.

SHOWS FILM WEEK S/S 2005: PETER JENSEN
Peter Jensen
The sole question that perplexed those lucky enough to have witnessed Peter Jensen's utterly memorable S/S '05 'show on ice' was 'why had nobody done it before?' Shot from the rink side, this short film, 'Tonya', captured the magic of the young skaters in action, showing fashion as it is experienced in everyday life; in motion.
The final film short in a week-long series marking how motion image has inveigled its way into mainstream modes of representing fashion, 'Tonya' celebrated the infamous ice queen who fell from grace and inspired Jensen's collection.

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'.
