The V&A of it all!


About 2 years ago while I was studying at the London College of Fashion we were given an assignment to visit the Victoria an Albert Museum. What an eye opening experience! … One of the first things you notice when you enter is this wonderful masterpiece!.. (it would almost be a crime to hide it away!)

This was the first thing you saw when you entered, and boy, was it grand! .. never thought balloons could look so good in a museum!


Tip:- If you're going to visit the V&A soon check out their fashion, costumes and the mosaics room. They are magnificent!
Realistic isn't it … Now try making that as a personalised jigsaw! Leaves me wondering.. was the artist sadistic or simply patient enough!! Way to go!
For me however, the best part was seeing the fashion fantasies exhibition featuring some bizzare fashion satires through the 1700s . Put below are a two of my favourites.
Yes that is an entire garden on her head!
This one is just fantastic. Notice that the statue in the background is perfectly proportional showing the artist's skill yet the foreground is definitely animated, securing the artist's genius. Just love how everyone has nonexistent waists and men with puffed chests relying heavily on the stereotypes of the period.

Sometimes it feels good to lighten up and crack jokes at something that can be your entire life! hope you liked it. :)
