Graffiti summer 2018

Posted on by Show

SHOW is proud to share the work of our recent editorial and art direction consultancy for Graffiti, the magazine for Graff Diamonds.

Working with Graff’s in-house creative team, Show art directed shoots with Benedict Morgan, Andy Barter and Graeme Montgomery and stylist Hana Al-Sayed.

Richard James lookbook AW18

Posted on by Show

SHOW is proud to present the result of its recent collaboration with Richard James on the contemporary Savile Row tailor’s AW18 lookbook shoot.

Inspired by the supersonic hedonism of an era that gave us Concorde and created the intercontinental frequent flyer, Richard James’s Sybarite collection is all about adventurous self-advancement and the uninhibited luxe of the iconic 70s jet-set generation. Sybarite is rich, bright, highly optical and effortlessly relaxed.

The lookbook shoot was art directed and produced by SHOW, marking the fourth seasonal collaboration between SHOW and the Savile Row house. We partnered with stylist Kenny Ho and photographer Philip Sinden on the shoot, drawing influence from the collection’s intense tonal colours, soft lines and rich textures.

Standout pieces from the lookbook include a fine velvet cotton dinner suit in deep teal paired with fuchsia silk pocket square; and a midnight blue, moleskin cotton Harrington jacket styled over a blue ribbon print shirt and green step pocket square. Both are set against a warm, neutral background with deep plum overtones reflecting the depth of colour used in the collection.

The AW18 Sybarite collection will be available online and in-house at Richard James from August.

Also featured is an illustrated guide that gets under the bonnet of Jaguar’s new all-electric car, a round up of the hottest new talent on London’s restaurant scene, and an interview with Tina Warner-Keogh, the former City executive who, along with her husband Tom, is behind gin brand of the summer, Warner Edwards.

Turnbull & Asser newspaper: Edition One

Posted on by Show

SHOW is proud to announce the publication of the first edition of the Turnbull & Asser newspaper. SHOW worked with the Jermyn Street shirtmaker on every aspect of the beautiful 24-page paper.

This started with the concept of the publication and extended to its design, a still-life shoot of the brand’s classic products, unique editorial from leading journalists, and a suite of elegant illustrations.

The newspaper is full of enlightening and fascinating stories that have shaped the brand. Stephen Doig visited Turnbull & Asser’s British factories to tell the story of how the brand is made in England; fashion historian Amber Butchart describes the history of neckwear, current owner James Fayed and former managing director Ken Williams talk about the shirtmaker’s long history with New York; Josh Sims breaks down the anatomy of a T&A shirt; Rob Ryan explains why Churchill and James Bond are fans; and Teo van den Broeke experiences the beauty of Turnbull’s bespoke and made-to-measure services.

To bring the newspaper to life, SHOW worked with photographer Mark Sanders and stylist Nathalie Francis on a handsome still life shoot; and with illustrator Joe McKendry on a set of detailed and striking drawings.

The newspaper will be distributed to Turnbull & Asser stores and to customers worldwide.

CBRE Perspectives on London book

Posted on by Show

SHOW is delighted to present Perspectives on London, a unique charity book project produced on behalf of CBRE to commemorate the 20th anniversary of charity StreetSmart. Every November and December participating restaurants add a voluntary £1 to the bill, which then goes to StreetSmart, who use the donations to support homeless charities.

SHOW edited, designed and produced the commemorative coffee table book, which consists of a series of interviews with 50 influential and inspirational ‘Londoners’ with accompanying portraits and location photography.

The participants come from varied backgrounds and professions, with little ostensibly in common other than their shared love of the city they call home. Among the 50 interviewees who were kind enough to share their stories, memories and hidden gems are actor Timothy Spall, chef Angela Hartnett, comedian Alan Carr, Mercury Prize-winning musician Sampha and Dany Cotton, the first female Commissioner of the London Fire Brigade.

CBRE has committed to donating 100 per cent of the proceeds of Perspective on London to StreetSmart, a very worthy cause which, fittingly, began life in London 20 years ago.
