Simone Rocha talks through her collection
After a much lauded Spring/Summer 2013 collection, Irish designer Simone Rocha sat down with SHOWstudio's Lou Stoppard to discuss the vision behind her showcase and the moments from her own personal history that helped inform it. 'I really wanted this collection to have a part of me, from early on', she explains. From school uniform to teenage kisses, Rocha's collection drew on a range of occurrences from her Irish upbringing, all of which she dissects candidly in this exclusive filmed interview.

— Guest Curator
Laura Dettingmeijer
Each month SHOWstudio hands the reins of our Tumblr over to a guest curator, offering them the chance to turn our page into their personal scrapbook of images, artwork and text. Following in the footsteps of the likes of Simon Foxton, Anna Trevelyan, Rei Nadal and Peter de Potter, Dutch multimedia artist Laura Dettingmeijer will be November's guest curator. Her approach centres on creating new worlds by combining colours, images and music. Visit our Tumblr from tomorrow, 1 November, to see her dreamworlds take shape.

Atsuko Kudo
This week Japanese latex doyenne Atsuko Kudo took part in the Lingerie London show benefiting the Seven Bar Foundation. To compliment the retro feel of the collection - which drew inspiration from Wong Kar-wai's 'In the Mood For Love' - SHOWstudio captured the evening's events using a variety of vintage feel apps including Instagram, 8mm and Cinemagram. The results are displayed online alongside a range of Kudo's personal design sketches.
