The Golden Age of Couture: Paris and London 1947 - 1957

So I went up to London last week to visit the V&A museum with a female friend with the intention of trying to sneak into the Couture exhibition, you know, 'do you fancy taking a look at the Couture stuff' said in my most blasé manor, only to find my friend asked first in the blasé manor and I said yes a little more quickly then I should have. Anyway I'm sure I save it with my usual 'if you want' statement! So we got the tickets, and headed for the exhibition, I have to say it lived up to my expectations, the styles on show where ultra femm to say the least, and I learnt that my friend was more feminine that I thought she was. I think the think I enjoyed the most was watching people look and sketch the cloths, I'm hoping that they are the next gen designers that are going to bring back ultra femm to the main stream. I live in hope!.
