My statue of the wonderful Lady Gaga . It was 25 foot tall and was made for your. Sadly it only ever appeared at the Brit Awards as it would have taken 2 juggernauts to transport on the tour !! It was animated and came back to do a cameo for Poker Face at Chromatica ball 🤍
Finally on Twitter !
Lots of exciting projects to coming up to share from
@ladygaga
and
@SHOWstudio
to NFTs and the Metaverse and much more !
Where should we start ?
Lady Gaga is a part of the legendary artists of the world. Tonight she dedicated her songs to Alexander McQueen, Nick Knight and Philip Treacy who accepted her and supported her through the years

Hugely impressed with Geoffrey Sentanu , the cinematographer on Blonde ( The life story of Marilyn Monroe ) . He’s succeeded in capturing the hard glamour of Richard Avedon and the gentleness and refined elegance of Eve Arnold .Rare to see film lighting this good !
Talking of beautiful lighting in films , my favourite is this scene in the film The Fountainhead ( from the novel written by Ayn Rand ) . The cinematographer was the brilliant Robert Banks . To have lighting this beautiful and precise in a film is incredible !
I am incredibly proud and absolutely delighted to have been honoured with a CBE ( Commander of the Order of the British Empire) for my services to Fashion and Photography in the King’s Birthday Honours List !
The more times we use the internet, the traces , patterns, signs we leave of ourselves there , so my question is how long before a hyper intelligent AI can join up the dots and create a sentient version of ourselves and therefore is that actually immortality?
We don’t live in reality. Our lives are mostly affected by what we are about to do . If you have a flight ,interview or a hospital appointment tomorrow you’re mood today is shaped by that . But you’re not actually experiencing it . It’s in your imagination. We live in our minds .
Division is not the answer.
Do not trust ANYONE who tries to divide people into groups, e.g : immigrants , posh people , the working class , Asians , toffs , the homeless, etc etc etc . We are first, foremost and forever people.
This is HUGE !! We at SHOWstudio asked an AI created by
@arthur_chance
to predict Daniel Lee ‘s new collection for Burberry before he’s even designed it !! This is what the AI predicts …. How close will it be ??
SHOWstudio and
@EmmaDabiri
present a thought-provoking new body of work featuring over 50 international contributors, which seeks to challenge and reconsider how the body has been represented and imagined in visual culture and fashion image-making.
There is a deeply heinous pseudo moral censorship creeping into new media which demonises one of the most beautiful aspects of our lives : SEX.
Sex should be celebrated !
Why the hell does my asparagus come from Peru ??? I’m in London . If we don’t have asparagus growing in the UK then we really should not eat it ! Surly a tiny change in our eating patterns is worth it to help reduce global warming ?
GM! Just wanted to say Episode 1 of my series 100 photographers is out on SHOWstudioTikTok . In it I look at the most important starting point for photography : light and reference it to two brilliant photographers ; Baron Adoph De Meyer and Helmar Lerski .
iKON-1 ❤️ Everyone who has aniKON-1 by tonight at 8gmt will be gifted a [final form ] one as a celebration of the beginning of stage two of the iKON-1 journey 🤍
We need a 21st century water system in this country, whereas the water companies have chronically failed to invest and have instead syphoned off billions of £££££ for their share holders, hence the raw sewage going into our waterways, the flooding, the hosepipe bans and more .
On Sunday 19th at 11.30 GMT I will be on a panel with the amazing opinions of Von Wolf , Emily Zak and Arthur_Chance to talk about AI in Art and Fashion . Tune in to
There are no simple solutions to complex problems.
Trying to persuade vast numbers of people of the opposite is how fascism succeeds .
This is exactly what Brexit and Its supporters such as Johnson and Farage did by appealing to people’s prejudices on immigration . Tragic .
