Over the last decade, SHOWstudio has emerged as a formidable force in the innovation of fashion imagery. This month, the award-winning website and brainchild of legendary photographer Nick Knight, celebrates its 10 year anniversary.

From Fashion Week reviews, avant-garde films and interviews with fashion icons including Lady Gaga and Anna Dello Russo, to numerous ground-breaking interactive projects like "LiveStudio" that create intimate relationships between the art, artist, and the audience, it's difficult to sum up in words the scope of the SHOWstudio's innovative ventures.

For such a complex project, the manifesto is decidedly simple.                

According to Knight, a man of regal English charm with a penchant for Levis 505 2017 jeans, "SHOWstudio is based on the belief that showing the entire creative process – from conception to completion – is beneficial for the artist, the audience and the art itself."

His vision culminated in an unprecedented medium that acts as a gateway into the very ...

Tired of one-dimensional nail polish? Well, check out the Housewives of Tudor England nail polish collection by Rescue Beauty Lounge. I visited the Lounge in Manhattan's Meatpacking District to try out the four new colors ($18 each) released this month and what I found did not disappoint.

Anne is a mysterious olive green that follows this season's military trend. The nail polish truly stands out with its copper, gold, pink and green sparkles. Depending on the lighting, Anne varies from a green to a brownish pewter.

The purple Catherine is a sophisticated color that lives up to the royal collection's name. Elizabeth I would have been proud of this regal aubergine color. Catherine changes from charcoal gray with purple undertones to a deep violet shade.

Jane, Henry VIII's favorite wife, lends her name to the stunning taupe nail polish. This shade doesn't have as much sparkle as the others, but don't write this nail polish off as a Plain Jane. It's a classy beige is a refreshing shade that follows this Fall's neutral camel trend.  It's also a great go-to color that goes with everything.

With its subtle flecks of magenta and turquoise, the blue Catherine H. is a beautiful color that has hints of gray. It's a great choice for a flirty night out and ...

The runway has inspired many, revealing the looks of both today and tomorrow in a quick and extravagant fashion. However, the majority of us cannot fathom what happens behind the runway.

On October 14th, 2010, the Milk Gallery held an opening reception for Roxanne Lowit's beautiful display of what had taken place behind the scenes of John Galliano's (chief designer of Dior) show. The pictures from her book Backstage Dior, which had a Foreword and Fashion by John Galliano, were captivating. Milk exhibited particular pictures in radiant colors, providing each one a sense of grandeur and life.

Each and every picture exuded breath-taking radiance. My favorite was of two women passionately rejoicing together with lips painted and eye brows bedazzled. Hilary, my friend who accompanied me, loved the black-and-white photo of a woman reclining on a sofa with a glass in-hand, giving the camera a sexy, debonair eye. These pictures possessed spontaneity, an uninhibited joy behind the catwalk. I always thought all of one's energy un-leashed itself when he or she hit the runway. Apparently, I thought wrong.

The event also enticed many names, from models to fashion icons, they filled the entire gallery throughout the night. Starting promptly at seven o'clock, I arrived at seven-thirty to meet with friends of mine and take a look at the pictures and socialize with one another as well. It appeared to be the thing to ...

New York City is a Winter Wonderland in October- at least on 57th street between 5th and 6th Avenues. Bergdorf Goodman, the exclusive retail store offering fashion's finest luxuries, gave shoppers a taste of Chanel's exquisite winter collection. The doorman welcomed visitors into an enchanting world of frosted glamour. To create an appropriate environment for the new line, the store's entrance was transformed into a picturesque winter scene, complete with an ice sculpture and an enormous polar bear.

Shintaro Okamoto, the founder of Okamoto Studio Ice Scultupre, chiseled away at a large block of ice positioned at the center of the display. For the duration of the event, which lasted three days, Okamoto arrived at 11am and worked vigorously until 3pm creating the iconic Chanel emblem. Okamoto's work caught the attention of many shoppers, who stopped to admire his efforts, and later returned to commend his progress.

"It's nice to be apart of this process, and doing a live performance is a different form of art," he said.

The most enticing factor of the event was the sampling of Chanel's new collection, which captures sophisticated style in the most intricate ways this season. Metallic embellishments on gloves and sleeves added an edginess to the feminine line. Simple winter staples, such as vests and sweaters, were amplified with excessive detailing of fringe and fur. Knit stockings were a funky twist on the classic material synonymous with winter trends. Mesh ...

Award-winning Chinese fashion designer Richard Chai showcased his spring 2011 menswear collection at the Milk Studios Monday morning.

Though Chai's collection lacked clean lines and any semblance of sharp structure, he managed to take the casual look and make it his own. Using subdued tones and playful cotton, Chai toyed with the idea of "untucked" sophistication. His collection invoked a safari-meets-beach-meets-sleepwear feel, encompassing nautical stripes and fisherman's hats while at the same time featuring sleeveless yet stylish army fatigues.

Powdery pastel blues, mossy greens and sleek silvery grays seemed to be Chai's colors of choice. And he was all about the free-flowing lines, with his endless stream of silky long-knit cardigans and oversized plaid button-down shirts. Nevertheless, the occasional trench coat or tinge of rich cobalt blue kept things classy. And that, in a nutshell, was the essence of Chai's line — a never discovered kind of nonchalance.
