Foregrounding SHOWstudio.com's earliest intentions to create a platform for the widest possible interpretations of fashion, Nick Knight asked contributors to express their personal political views through the medium of fashion film. Sixty-one provocative and heartfelt submissions were solicited from a diverse selection of industry figures, ranging from image-makers including Steven Klein and Jason Evans to designers Stefano Pilati and Boudicca and casting agency Nine Daughters and a Stereo.

In keeping with the site's growing emphasis on the 'two-way conversation' between the site and its audience, a further sixteen films by SHOWstudio.com's readers were also posted in an accompanying gallery.
