"The Internet has changed how we experience fashion forever," SHOWstudio's Nick Knight proclaimed at the opening of his Fashion Revolution exhibition last night. (Hey, no argument from anyone at Style.com.) "The view that it's controlled by an elite crew is outdated," the photographer continued. To make his point, the new show at Somerset House in London features a slew of Knight's fashion experiments, the pièce de résistance being a three-story-tall 3-D triptych of Naomi Campbell that can be colored and decorated on a nearby computer screen and projected onto her body live. "Be nice now," Duran Duran's Nick Rhodes warned a friend, who was thinking about extracting a little revenge on the supermodel.

Makeup guru Pat McGrath, the go-to girl at beauty giant Procter & Gamble, which sponsored the event, took some guests on a tour of her favorites pieces, including a pornographic wallpaper print that left Manolo Blahnik blushing. McGrath also revealed that she'll be participating in one of Knight's live feeds of a fashion show on October 9. "You'll see what it's really like behind the scenes, which isn't always that glamorous," the beauty guru said. "You'll see the mania, the stress eating—you know, the fun stuff."
