THE ROOM 406: Showstudio unearths Plato's Atlantis

Showstudio unearths Plato's Atlantis

Following last week's unveiling of Savage Beauty, the exhibition which is celebrating the life and work of Lee Alexander McQueen at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art, Room 406 have reflected heavily on McQueen and his influence on fashion. Whether it be stroking the sexy book crafted by curator Andrew Bolton to accompany the exhibition, or simply leafing through well loved biographies and online images, much awe struck sighing has gone on. A particular favourite of ours is the film which accompanied McQueen's last collection, directed by the designer himself, Nick Knight and Ruth Hogben. SHOWstudio.com have now kindly released the film, Plato's Atlantis, for the first time since its original presentation in Paris. We're sure you will be as enchanted as we were.

SOMETHING TO DECLARE ?

Lindsey Botts is a first year Central Saint Martins MA fashion journalism student. Leaving New York was a big step for him but it was well worth the leap. As the sole boy and menswear writer of the bunch, he lends an element of diversity. He has a BA in advertising and marketing communications from the Fashion Institute of Technology. He is a rich source of curiosity and optimistic enthusiasm. Lindsey obsessively reads Vogue and Industrie magazines and is a secret (or, perhaps, not-so-secret) magazine hoarder.

As the lone Briton of Room 406, Charlie Byrne offers a native opinion on London fashion, although her fluency in French and Spanish lends exoticism to her profile. Few British fashion editors haven't tasted her tea making skills, but she has now set up camp at The Sunday Times Style magazine. Her experience as fashion editor for runninginheels.co.uk opened her mind to the blogosphere, despite her fetish for stroking magazines in the flesh. A perfectionist and elegance addict, Charlie hopes a firm belief in full skirts and gilt teacups will help her achieve her editorial aspirations.
