The exhibition Fashion highlighted Irving Penn's fashion photography. For more than 40 years, Irving Penn worked at Vogue magazine and many of his images have become iconic. The well-attended exhibition brought together images from throughout Irving Penn's career; from the timelessly elegant 1950s images to the expressive 60s and 70s images and the unique collaboration with Issey Miyake.

Iconic American photographer Irving Penn (1917-2009) has inspired generations of photographers. In collaboration with The Irving Penn Foundation, Åmells presented a grand exhibition with fashion photography by Irving Penn. The exhibition brought together images from Penn’s whole career; from the style-setting fashion shots for Vogue and the portraits of the 20th century's leading cultural figures, to the nude studies and the stripped-down still lifes with found objects and vanitas motifs.

The exhibition was a journey through the development of photography in the 20th century and showcased the great richness and high quality of Swedish photography. Among the exhibited photographers were Henry B Goodwin, Hans Hammarskiöld, Jens S Jensen, Jean Hermansson and Tuija Lindström.
