Well it's been a long time since i last posted, need to get back into the swing of things but have been ever so busy with uni deadlines and my job at The Body Shop which can i say i absolutely love!
So in the summer i went to the V and A to see the fashion department which had just recently been created, to my excitement! I also went to the Ballroom exhibition which was absolutely beautiful, full of stunning dresses of all shapes, sizes, colours, fabrics and styles. Unfortunately i wasn't allowed to take any photos, i probably could have gotten away with it but i was simply respecting the V and A's rules. So, I don't want to sound a bit 'OTT' but going to this exhibition has to have been a significant part of my life purely because of the one dress i saw on the first floor of the exhibition. Alexander McQueen is definitely, if not, the most influential fashion designer for me. I got to see one of my favourite dresses from his outstanding fall 2008 collection, you will know this dress if you know Alexander McQueen...
Seeing this dress will definitely be one of the most memorable moments of my life. The structure of the dress was incredible, the amount of feathers compiled into this dress that were still in shape as if they hadn't been removed from the birds backside (sorry) was unreal. So voluminous and fluffy, my kinda style. aha.
Back to the fashion department/section at the V and A, here is a collection of photos i took whilst there. I took hundreds of photos, but here are some of my favourites!
Huge fan of corsets, this one is stunning!
I absolutely love these rider style jackets, of course nowadays they're rider style jackets made from fabrics such as wool and tweed, gorgeous!
This dress is also stunning, such a breath taking silhouette and the floral embroidery is beautiful..
This one is a mini dress on a mini mannequin, very cute!
Lace, Lace, Lace! One of my favourite materials ever!
I am a huge fan of wedding dresses, this one blew me away just because it was such an old piece. Full of elegance and grace, wonderful!
Gorgeous wedding shoes, made from silk satin. Look exactly like ballet shoes and i love ballet shoes too.
and finally, this necklace! So intricate and i wish it was on my neck. Recently grown to love necklaces more than i ever have in my life.
Hope you enjoyed this and my words didn't bore you too much. Hopefully my next post will be of some my recent outfit of the day photos xxx
