3 Tips including SHOWstudio.com, Mary Karantzou for Topshop...

Nick Knight is known all over the globe for his fashion editorials, and for this he’s been awarded countless times. Knight is undeniably a British national treasure when it comes to fashion photography and film. He’s also the director of the website SHOWstudio, which is dedicated to online fashion broadcasting. He started the site in 2000, long before everyone else was doing it, and since then it has revolutionized live interactive projects and fashion films.  

If you were lucky you popped by the site and watched a live stream when he was standing behind the camera shooting a fashion film starring super model Karlie Kloss. The film celebrates a decade of Topshop sponsoring the British Fashion Council's NEWGEN scheme. Showcasing the very best of ten years of talent with garments from the one-off collections created for Topshop by some of the greatest of British fashion. (TIP: don’t forget Mary Katrantzou’s stunning collection for Topshop launching today in their stores.)

To stay informed we suggest you follow SHOWstudio on Facebook; then you can see when they’re live streaming. Another great stream they recently had was from the photo-shoot with Lara Stone called “ Power-dressing”, styled by Carine Roitfeld. If you sat in front of the computer that day, you got to see Roitfeld live in action when she picked out outfits for Stone to wear. Such a rare occurrence that ordinary people never get to see up-close and behind the scenes.

This is not the only reason we highly recommend you to check out the site, they also have a lot of interesting “In Fashion” interviews. Today just in time for London fashion Week A/W 2012, which starts with Central Saint Martins MA show, they befittingly uploaded an interview with renowned Professor Louise Wilson OBE. She’s influenced designers as diverse as Alexander McQueen, Christopher Kane and Mary Katrantzou. There’s a rumor that if you don’t get on her good side then you won’t make it to the top class of the fashion industry. There might not be any truth to it, but it makes it even more intriguing to watch WIlson discuss her work with journalist and author Hywel Davies.
