Marianne Maric
Marianne Maric has contributed a double bill of fashion films to our 'Punk' series starring actor and designer Louis-Marie de Castelbajac. 'Kiss my Ashes' serves as a short trailer to the other full length version, 'Ass to Ashes', which features a track by Justice's Xavier de Rosney, remixed by producer Busy P. The artist has created a surreal narrative surrounding an elegant French aristocrat, a shotgun and a leather jacket. 'To be well dressed today is punk I think', is Maric's interpretation of the theme.

— The Sound Of Clothes: Studio Sessions
Piers Atkinson
The penultimate installment of our 'The Sounds of Clothes: Studio Sessions' initiative saw us visit the studio of milliner Piers Atkinson ahead of his vibrant S/S 14 show to capture the noises that played a part in the making of his collection. From googly eyes shaking to pom poms being made, the sounds were remixed and partnered with suitably cartoonish 3D visuals to give an abstract, audio-based take on the collection.

Fia Yaqub
Mancunian stylist and photographer Fia Yaqub has supplied a film to our 'Punk' series. 'Nude' explores the underlying eroticism that exists within the movement. Garments shown in the film were inspired by punk's associations with wearable bondage and sex and are now available from the SHOWstudio Shop.

J.W. Anderson
'I don't think necessarily that clothing can be feminine or masculine, it's just a character.' In light of J.W. Anderson's nomination for a 'New Establishment' British Fashion Award, we look back at a conversation between Lou Stoppard and Anderson just after his controversial menswear S/S 14 show.

— The Photography of Punk
Jim French
These rare signed polaroids by Jim French were used as studies for his iconic series of cowboy drawings. His sketches came to adorn the t-shirts of some of the most notorious punks including Sid Vicious when they were appropriated by Malcolm McLaren and Vivienne Westwood for their Seditionaries designs. Now these polaroids are featured in SHOWstudio's 'Photography of Punk' exhibition at 19 Motcomb Street and are also available for purchase online.
