The exhibition is divided into various segments called: process, performance, participation and fashion film. It opens the process of image-making up to the public – by putting a live, working photographic studio within the exhibition space, to be used by top photographers including Nick Knight of Showstudio himself. Knight will also shoot 100 portraits of London’s ‘beau monde’; models, actors, musicians and artists – and will show a programme of new Fashion Films, specially commissioned by Showstudio for Fashion Revolution.

The exhibition will run untill the 20th of December 2009
