Fashion History Nerd

I think I am in heaven. The Victoria and Albert Museum is London's answer to the Met's Costume Institute in New York. Not only do they have an amazing permanent collection of historical fashion, but they continually bring in amazing special collections.

One of my favourite moments in fashion history happened during post-war Paris and London. Dior's "new look" changed everything and really ushered a whole new era of fashion that evolved even further with Yves St. Laurent.

I think I will move into the V&A. I wonder how much rent is.

I love the V&A too. Was gutted by the fact that I missed the Kylie exhibit last time Oli and I were there. My fav part of the V&A? The Chihuly glass chandelier. Can stare at it for hours.

Hope youre doing well...
