| SHOWstudio + Anthony Price I have to say this again: maybe I wasn't paying attention or maybe SHOWstudio has recently stepped up their game. Whichever the answer, they have got it going on right now with some of the coolest projects and videos out there. Currently showing For Your Pleasure: Anthony Price. If you're anything like me, you've never heard of this guy, but when you read an excerpt from his bio below, you definitely know his work. Alternatively referred to as rock's favourite couturier, an unparalleled master of modern made-to-measure occasionwear and the most criminally overlooked designer in British fashion, Antony Price and his eponymous creations are the stuff of fashion legend. Revered and referenced by both his contemporaries and the generations of talent that followed him, both Price and his distinctive brand of unabashed glamour and sex-appeal have defied the vagaries of fashion to consistently appeal to new audiences. Quite simply, Antony Price is one of the greatest designers Britain has ever produced. He defined the look of Roxy Music, the decade's most visually literate rock band, along the way inventing the sartorial template of Glam Rock and the marriage of music, fashion and retail a good half-decade before Westwood, McLaren, and The Sex Pistols. In the eighties, he trussed Steve Strange in shiny shiny leather for The Anvil, wrapped Duran Duran in pastel taffeta for Rio and staged a show-stopping, dam-busting Fashion Extravaganza at the Camden Palace which sent him bankrupt. Read more about Price here, 14 pages of magazine interviews and articles typed out for easy reading, and sketches. Stay tuned, as they'll be updating the site in the near future with further sections inspirerd by the designer.
