Week 4 in the show season meant only one thing: that Paris was ready to unfurl herself to a global audience of fashion pilgrims yet again. SHOWstudio brought the city of pleasure and gold to your screens as Penny and our photographer Benjamin Seroussi stormed the Palais Royale, teetered along the left bank and on through the heavenly seraglios of Chanel, Dior and McQueen.

Penny Martin
An artificial sweetener dispenser designed by Karl Lagerfeld, a hairbrush
whose bristles had been replaced by locks of human hair, coloured contact
lenses that sported the letters 'CD' across the iris: each of these fashion
curios occupied the weird territory between fashion garment and accessory,
making them qualify for SHELF APPEAL. For the bi-monthly 'Editor's Choice'
slot that ran from December 2003-4, Penny Martin selected her then current object of desire, got it into the SHOWstudio live space and gave it a good old written examination.
