If you follow fashion and fashion photography, you'll instantly recognize these items from SHOWstudio. This online shop opened its virtual doors just last week, and offers an exquisite array of genuine props used on catwalks and in editorial shoots.
Each of the items in SHOWstudio's stock contains a description that tells the viewer where the item originally appeared. For example, the Shona Heath Eyeballs pictured in the first image were created especially for a December 2008 British Vogue editorial, which was shot by Tim Walker, and the set of six will set you back about £3,000.
