SHOWstudio was invited to create an event to mark Philip Treacy’s debut, A/W '06, collection in collaboration with British sports brand UMBRO. Drawing on historic, chronophotographic images by Eadweard Muybridge, Nick Knight and Judy Blame collected a colourful cast of dancers, gymnasts, Premiership footballers and iconic fashion models to stage a spectacular exploration of Treacy’s ‘luxury sportswear’ concept. Viewers had the chance to tune in on Thursday 2nd February 2006 and watch a balletic motion study, choreographed to an innovative musical score and which created the basis for a kinetic audio installation that was unveiled on 16 February during London Fashion Week.

In this film contextualising couture for a W magazine shoot, the studio was not treated as the traditional, non-specific space, but as a blank canvas upon which surreal fashion performances could be staged.
