SHOWstudio Exhibition
I thought the SHOWstudio exhibition was fantastic. it was a real case of having to just slowly walk through the whole thing in order to be able to take it in - thought it was all quite clever - loved the mirror room idea, like right from the start the objections are laid out bare - this is about vanity, fashion is vanity, the exhibition was about fashion celebrating its self and the celebrity of itself. the naomi campbell huge statue, which you were digitally able to draw on and paint, was the demonstration of models - no matter how famous, they are basically just canvases which the designers "paint" and transform.
All the videos were fantastic and as with the ALexander McQueen one below they gave you aninsight into the designer - the parts you dont normally see with how there works materialise.
the best part of the exhibition was watching the Nick Knight photo-shoots. it was amazing to just watch him work and the position of the viewing window allowed you to see the images he was taking come up on the computer screens which were then being edited and retouched.
