Having returned from snowy Scotland I've just nipped into the Studio and restarted the audio stream for Voice Box, so you should now be able to hear the messages being played - for as long as the stream keeps running. Unfortunately I wasn't able to find a way or restarting... [more]

Alas with the best laid plans all does not always go well, and it seems that the computer which is sending the live audio stream from SHOWstudio to the Voice Box has decided to fall over on us. It worked for a week in testing, but as always these things... [more]

Opinion on the SHOWstudio Christmas card has been a bit split this year: print or digital? I'm always a bit unsure of e-mail cards myself. I get the ecological arguement and appreciate the 'charity donations made on my behalf' but it's a bit cheap, isn't it?! Also, as a website,... [more]
"Promise and disappointment" are the key to this peformance staged in New York's Slipper Room in November. A key 'Performa' biennale commission by influential Belgian artist Francis Alys, a soprano, a pianist and a stripper create the scenario.

Eamonn marshals Christabel's tresses into order whilst the boys get to work on the backdrops. Whereas Bruty was in the pink with a salmon-coloured colorama, Dorian and Paul Hetherington are going for the more mature chocolate brown. Next up Miss Christabel Stewart!
Our new Commercial Creative Director, Mr Stephen White, has nipped into the studio for the first of today's portrait sessions with Eiuske before he leaves for USA this afternoon to marry the love of his life, Sally Osborn, on the 29th. Good luck to the pair of them!! We're still... [more]
The soft, soft lighting and blurred, atmospheric colours of Paolo Roversi's photographs are described as 'cinematic' often enough. Now see how this filmic vision translates into a motion sequence as he contributes the penultimate entry to the three-month Moving Fashion project.

It may have crossed the minds of those that use the contacts in our About Section regularly that we've not made much of an effort with the portraits posted there. Most of them have been 'grabbed' from various films or snapped across desks. Note to SHOWstudio: Must do better!

An intimate but marathon slow dance was kept alive for 24 hours in New York last month by artist Julie Tolendino as part of New York's first ever visual arts performance biennale.

Whilst the actual brief for MOVING FASHION was to feature a garment from the Autumn/Winter '05-6 season, the programme has been so extensive that the industry is now into shooting the Spring/Summer '06 clothes that will be in the shops from January! All hail art director Thomas Lenthal then for... [more]

Rather than depicting a specific garment in motion, Tom Hingston's contribution to Moving Image presents an overview of the industry itself. Employing a sort of modern-day Gilliamesque stylistic vision, Tom hints at what helps you to survive the whole commercial fashion jamboree: a dark and slightly eccentric sense of humour.... [more]

We have seen a broad and rather diverse range of interpretations of the 'Moving Fashion' brief in our series so far but today’s contribution from fashion designer Stella McCartney, offers us a particularly different perspective of the fashion show imagery we have become accustomed to. In direct contrast to the... [more]

Jeremy Deller imported the English folk tradition of extreme face pulling -known as gurning- to the excesses of last week's Art Basel Miami, the American wing of the world's most presigious art fair held in Switzerland.

Who'd have thought it's been a full five years since Sweet was launched on SHOWstudio, with its then unprescedented use of 3-D scanning technology to represent fashion 'on the round'? Now, of course, you can have your head scanned at all good toyshops and have its ghostly contours suspended in... [more]

Kate Phelan's 20 years' experience working for Vogue distills down to one vital piece of advice. Beauty may be fleeting and nature will decay but your Prada shoes will remain, unbesmirched by time. Have faith in Miuccia, therefore, and all will be well with the world.

Stella Tennant and hair stylist Eamonn Hughes and will all be included in our 'Weekend Review' which ends at midnight on... [more]
We're really excited to be visiting Sweden at last. So many of the SHOWstudio viewers that mail us seem to hail from Stockholm that we've built up this picture of extremely well-educated, visually-literate and outward-looking people living there (don't let us down, Stockholmers!). Paul Hetherington and I have been invited... [more]
Last night, Sharmin and I popped down to the Dover Street Market for the private view of Stephen Jones' Retrospective.

A refreshingly controversial entry today from Stella Tennant, whose grandmother is the notoriously pro-hunting Duchess of Devonshire. We're not sure whether the model of the piece actually is the supermodel herself and whether the 'twist in the tail' suggests a slightly different political position from that of her ancestors. All... [more]
