HINT: retrospective of this research group in "fashion in the internet" (SHOWstudio was settled 10 years ago when no YouTube, no camera phones, no reality TV existed... no fashion was in internet)

"The name `SHOWstudio´came from the inherent generosity of the verb `to show´, and the realisation that the `studio´was, for artist, image-makers, musicians, and designers alike, a common link. To not only juxtapose the words but fuse them seemed to sum up one of my fundamental desires in founding this website: to `show´the `studio´, to lay out the creative act from conception to completion. I firmly believe that to display the process of creation is beneficial for the artist, the audience and the art itself. The Internet - free from limitations of time and space - is perfect to showcase what I find the most interesting in the course of my work: everything."*
