^^you can find those in the magazine section

He'll be styling a shoot for Another Magazine with Carmen Kass, Showstudio will be broadcasting live, so maybe we'll get a peek of him working

Our in-house studio space at Bruton Place is being prepped at this very moment for tomorrow's LIVE shoot for AnOther Magazine with none other than the legendary Carmen Kass! From 12:00 Noon GMT tomorrow, SHOWstudio will stream all the action from the set with Kass, Nick Knight and Panos Yiapanis collaborating on this latest editorial for AnOther over two days. This shoot, however, is slightly different than most, promising to show a side of Carmen that has never been seen before. At the hands of Panos, and with the help of greasepaint, wigs, and fashions from the likes of Alexander McQueen, Rodarte, Christopher Kane and Nina Ricci, Kass will transform into a clown - but you can wipe any preconceptions of mournful monochrome Pierrots, Commedia dell'Arte Harlequins or even good old-fashion circus pratfalls from your mind. For this shoot, clowning around takes a decidedly dark, macabre and dare we say downright evil twist. More live and direct from the shoot tomorrow...

Just heard the very exciting news that Nick Knight will be shooting Carmen Kass styled by Panos Yiapanis Sunday & Monday!

Our in-house studio space at Bruton Place is being prepped at this very moment for tomorrow's LIVE shoot for Another Magazine with none other than the legendary Carmen Kass! From 12 Noon GMT Tomorrow, SHOWStudio will stream all the action from the set with Kass, Nick Knight and Panos Yiapanis collaborating on this latest editorial for AnOther over two days. This shoot, however, is slightly different than most, promising to show a side of Carmen that has never been seen before.

For this shoot, clowning around takes a decidedly dark, macabre and dare we say downright evil twist. More live and direct from the shoot tomorrow...

It's a full house here at SHOWstudio as our latest live shoot with Carmen Kass is kicking off very very soon! More info shortly

Spike heels (in more way than one)

The big face-off

More of Panos' handiwork

Just about to venture upstairs to check out Panos' first look for Carmen, as selected from our bulging clothes rails!

No outfit finalised just yet, although I'm certain I just caught a glimpse of oversized McQueen houndstooth check...

Our first look is off and running! Carmen's wearing mainly McQueen, with added blood-red pom-poms and studded leggings courtesy of Panos

'Haute Couture Harlequin from Hell' were the first words that leapt to my mind upon seeing the countenance of Carmen Kass in Panos Yiapanis' first hardcore concoction for our Clown shoot. Other than a few additions from Panos' dedicated army of crafty helpers, she's in head-to-toe A/W 2009 Alexander McQueen with a sacque-back opera coat, fierce-shouldered jacket and frilled organza blouse all smothered in eye-popping monochroime houndstooth. Ditto the lacquer-soled seven-inch platforms, which Panos has playfully adorned with blood-red pom-poms. Elsewhere, Panos' handiwork is evident in some serious heavy metal leather leggings (studded with a good kilo of hardware) and a houndstooth muzzle strapping Kass' features like Leatherface. Ironically, the strapping, wrapping and cinching of this unique getup is not dissimilar to the archly preened and poised straight-lacing of postwar couture - remember the handspan waspies of Dior's New Look or those painfully taut ribbons at the back of Mainbocher's iconic corset? Carmen is naturally forced into unnatural modes of modelling, and thus her poses have all the glamour of old-school Irving Penn. That's our first look and initial opinions, at least - the interesting thing will be to see how that translates to Nick Knight's final images in AnOther Magazine this autumn.

At the behest of Panos and John McCarty, we just had some neon signage delivered for the shoot! Interested to see where this is going...!

Look 2: dress and leggings by Louis Vuitton, velvet shorts by Prada, sequinned top by Gucci - the amazing shoes are Panos' own creation!

Besides racks crammed with everything from Parisian big-wigs Balenciaga and Balmain to London mavericks Louise Goldin and Christopher Kane, Panos and a vertiable army of artisans have set to work crafting unique accessories to help create Carmen's 'Clown' persona for this shoot. Festooned with studs, crystals, spears and spikes to give the outfits a savage twist. Here, we focus on just a few of Panos' creations: heels smothered in Swarovski prickles, bead-encrusted bandages and tights and an eerie glitter-latex mask with sexualised crystal pout. Just how these arcane accoutrements will be utilised in the final looks is, at the moment, all in Panos' mind - but we'll all be finding out pretty soon!

With our first outfit in the bag - and daylight fast diminishing - Panos, Hannah, Marian and Sam are putting the final touches to Carmen Kass' second look of our two-day Clown shoot. Despite our project title, Nick Knight's glossy 8x10 polaroids above testify that the shoot's aesthetic is veering far, far away from the accepted and understood realms of circus ring and fairground performance - not that we really expected light and carefree joviality, given Panos' visual references and choice of designer togs. Accordingly, the final looks have more in common with mournful French Pierrots, Stephen King's 'It' and the nightmarish Siats of Ute tribe mythology than the child-pleasing ilk of Bozo, Coco or even Krusty. And with night closing in, it can only get creepier.

We still working on our final look, although the night has fallen so the plans behind this particular shot remain something of a mystery...

We've removed the bead-encrusted Gucci top and are re-shooting those Lacroix-alike jewelled paisley Vuitton leggings and tunic.

With Carmen Kass' face contorted by transparent plastic tape to resemble a Royston Vasey resident and Sam McKnight's teased beehive towering hevenwards, we're off on outfit number two. This time. Kass is an explosion of riotous colour, clad in a draped tunic-dress and bejewelled leggings by Louis Vuitton, velvet shorts by Prada and a beaded top by Gucci. Panos again fashions the trademark final touches himself - in this instance, a bead-encrusted harness and sparkling shoes fit for a Maharaja.

"More Demonic!" is an instruction rarely used on a fashion shoot (well, the shoots I've been on) but those are the words Nick just uttered!

We've taken to the streets! We're shooting Carmen in Vuitton on Bruton Place!

Silent film legend Lon Chaney Sr. once stated 'There is nothing funny about a clown in the moonlight'. We're testing this theory to the max this evening, as Carmen Kass takes to the street in Panos Yiapanis' uncompromising vision of a maniacal masquerade clown. Rest assured, this is no laughing matter! Unfortunately we are unable to take our live stream out onto the fair streets of Mayfair to chart Carmen's progression, but I will be tweeting from the roadside as Nick Knight pushes Carmen to the very brink!

'A bit more mad in the face!' was Carmen's inimitable instruction for this latest shot!
