To those of you who have been desperately checking for Liberty's answers to your questions (and there have been hundreds of them...) apologies. As Ross said earlier, she has been away filming with her husband and will respond on her return. Only, Ms Ross has requested a break from her... [more]

Since last week's meeting with Sanderson Bob, or Bob as we now know him, the project design for DRESS ME UP, DRESS ME DOWN is taking good shape.
This particular good shape was hanging around on the periphery of one of Bob's design layouts and, although not intended for our... [more]

Later this year SHOWstudio may be coming to a city near you. Contained in this 1m x 1m x 2m glass cube, you will have an opportunity to become part of the AMAZE ME project. Designer Wayne Daly and I have been designing and prototyping the booth for a few... [more]
Liberty's clips for the 'Fragments of Me' interactive have been coming in every day and she's built up a varied body of work (pun intended) for you to mix and match. However, her cameraman is super busy so the clips will be coming in sporadically over the next couple of... [more]

As it turns out, it was in fact this dress that was photographed over the weekend, to accompany the forthcoming downloadable pattern. Be glad, for the more demure among you, that this one covers your knees! The pattern itself is currently winging its way from Watanabe HQ in Japan to... [more]

The panel are ready and waiting for London's finest: Simon's conducting a casting for 10 Men, 14: 00 - 15:00hrs (UK)
We are utterly delighted to announce that as part of the Liberty Ross 'Dress Me Up, Dress Me Down' project, the brilliant Japanese designer Junya Watanabe has offered to contribute a garment pattern from his forthcoming Autumn/Winter 2005-6 (not-yet-in-the-shops) collection. Picked out by Liberty Ross from Jonathan Kaye's draft selection... [more]

Just as Jean Francois-Carly's film is being posted today as a 'complimentary project' to sit in the overall context of Simon Foxton's SITTINGS (though Foxton was neither author nor its commissioner), we are also looking for something interpretative to position against 'DRESS ME UP, DRESS ME DOWN'.

A posthumous addition to 'SITTINGS', Jean Francois-Carly's elegant filmic rogues gallery establishes a series of beautiful 'before and after' portraits of the models from Raf Simons A/W '05-6 show.

The performance event that will conclude Liberty's project is shaping up, as matters arising from yesterday's meeting with Jonathan take effect.
Nick asked Jonathan to deconstruct the thousands of looks presented at the Autumn/Winter collections shows in February/March (this is standard for a collections story) and he came in with... [more]

I have made a version of the 'fragments of me' interactive with sound. Liberty will be happy as she has been keen for this to happen since the project started. The problem has been that the addition of sound increases the individual clip size to somewhere approaching 200k which means,... [more]

I have been mulling over an idea motivated by our core twin interests in the potential of 'live-ness' and the 'creativity in process' that would involve curated coverage of the flourishing scene of artists that include performance in their practice, and incorporating certain music events that also have an acute...

We're still discussing a title with Liberty, but her interactive is now launched here (and it's getting more erotic by the day). Our Liberty knows no restraints!
Project Caption:
Watch what happens when a model that is used to being directed takes control of her representation. Each day, Liberty Ross sends... [more]

With the end product of the 'Dress Me Up, Dress Me Down' project being very much about control, Nick wanted Liberty to have some input during the run up to the live event and asked her to produce some videos. Liberty sent us some great clips of different sections of... [more]

Congratulations to 'Best Fashion Website' winners Alexander McQueen who are now furnished with a Webby. Well done also to the architects of this success - those shy boys at POKE - of course, who brought this fact to our attention...
