| CURRENT OBJECT FETISH 2011 | |
| Examining key pieces from the international collections, Object Fetish 2011 trains obsessive attention onto fashion's latest objects of desire. Examining the season's obsession with millinery once again, SHOWstudio fashion director Alexander Fury metaphorically unpicks the meanings behind Marc Jacobs’ powder-blue mink 'doodle of a hat', modelled by the astonishing Raquel Zimmermann in this fashion film by Nick Knight, captured once again amidst the glittering vitrines of leading London department store Selfridges & Co.

| COMING UP MUSEUM OF COSTUME | |
| | |
 Created as part of the Antwerp Fashion Museum's retrospective exhibition Dreamsuits: Designs by Nudie Cohn, the Rodeo Tailor, photographer and filmmaker Alice Hawkins lends her unique eye to Cohn's equally unique couture creations, capturing their glittering surfaces on fashion film. Inspired by the idea of Cohn's work as crossing the line between costume and art, Hawkins dressed up a selection of Nudie Cohn enthusiasts - from Elvis impersonators to musicians, club entrepreneurs and even the photographer herself - in the Rodeo tailor's greatest hits and immortalised them on film. Museum of Costume launches on Thursday 27 October 2011 exclusively on SHOWstudio | |
| COMING UP EARTH MAGIC | |
| | |
 The second cinematic collaboration between director Joseph Lally and Daphne Guinness, Earth Magic is an art film for the digital age, contrasting film with still image and text in arresting juxtapositions, and eschewing conventional narrative in favour of aesthetic exploration. Also featuring Jamie Bochert, Sebastian Sauvé and Erik Sage, Earth Magic is released exclusively on SHOWstudio on Monday 31 October 2011. | |

| | |
 Regarded as one of England's most influential photographers of the Edwardian era, Emil Hoppe's black and white photographs reveal the realities of the day-to-day life during the era between the wars. Hoppe was able to capture everyday British people, in a fascinating and captivating manner, provoking curiosity along with a sense of nostalgia. [more] | |
| FROM THE ARCHIVE EDITING FASHION | |
| | |
 An offshoot from 2005's three-month Moving Fashion project, the fashion film season Editing Fashion shifted the focus of SHOWstudio's exploration of fashion film from direction to the editing process and from fashion figures to established editors - from the fields of commercials, feature film and pornography to name but three - and global SHOWstudio viewers. All were given exclusive footage of John Galliano's Spring/Summer 2006 show, filmed by Nick Knight, to re-work into their own unique edit. View their final films and process interviews here, alongside a gallery of archival material documenting every stage behind Galliano's conception of this elaborate one-off show, the fashion press' reactions and of course Knight's unedited footage of the show itself.
