Day at a museum
Monday, May 24th, 2010I have spent a lot of time at V&A lately. As the museum has got a lovely indoor cafe and even better outdoor space it’s the perfect place for meetings and fun.
I have visited the Grace Kelly show which was really really lovely. Grace had an incredible class and style which, among other things, was reflected in her wardrobe. Apart from beautiful ‘movie siren’ dresses and classic suits she loved fabulous Madame Gres’ gowns, floating, kaftan-like things of beauty. I was surprised how tall she was and I couldn’t help but think of Betty Draper throughout the exhibition.
I have also visited Horace Walpole and Strawberry Hill which made me really want to visit the real thing. Unfortunately it is closed for refurbishment till autumn so I will have to wait.
And last but not least I have attended Osman Yousefzada’s fashion show which was a lot of fun. It’s my first fashion show and I loved it. The pictures came out rather badly, here are a couple of acceptable ones.
