Stephen Jones/Oriole Cullen/Michael Howells
Coinciding with the opening of the exhibition 'Hats: An Anthology' at London's Victoria and Albert museum, SHOWstudio unveils its own tribute to the enduring genius of millinery maestro Stephen Jones. Inspired by Cecil Beaton's 1971 exhibition 'Fashion: An Anthology', which formed the basis of the V&A's enviable contemporary costume collection, Jones' exhibition pays homage to Beaton whilst exploring his own milieu in mind-boggling detail. Created in collaboration with the Victoria and Albert museum, this project showcases the creation of the exhibition literally from the drawing board, exploring its inspiration with the key players.

Penny Martin
For the first time in four years, the SHOWstudio Picture Phone journeyed to Paris Haute Couture Week, to document the unconstrained aesthetic ambition, extraordinary luxury and fastidious workmanship of the most exclusive end of the fashion industry. Sent directly from the opulent venues, taxis en route to the shows and after les defilés, Penny Martin captured the magic of the most outrageously imaginative and decadent of fashion weeks.
