26th February 2010, Loma-Ann Marks

One of the world's most iconic stores, Liberty, is holding Oh! You Pretty Things, an exhibition of work from five of today's hottest fashion photographers: Alice Hawkins, Jacob Sutton, Josh Olins, Daniel Jackson and Angelo Pennetta.

The show, put together by Spring Projects is a showcase of the the wit, style and allure of fashion photography.
And as the genre develops the images themselves aren't simply a shop-window for clothes, but works of art in themselves; a comment on our notions of beauty and an escape into a fantastical world.
David Bowie first sang about Oh! You Pretty Things and this exhibition, on the fourth floor of a store crammed with desirable things, is truly a celebration of beauty.
