Isn't it wonderful when an exhibition or cultural event comes to the provinces? Gives us peasants a chance to put shoes on and get away from the pigs and chickens for the day. :) now those sheer dresses have reminded me, haven't you got something like that Curtise?! Love the pop art dresses, he really was quite a talented fellow wasn't he, good old Yves. Oh wow to that sparkly suit! Gorge! You look amazing in the top with those palazzo pants, all Louise Brooks, I reckon.

The exhibit is beautiful, educational, inspiring - so much to learn! I have never attended a fashion exhibit before, but I think I will keep my eyes open for one, thanks to your post. You look glamorous in your new find, love it with the palazzo pants!

I always love seeing the pictures you post when you're out and about. I've never been to the UK so it's definitely a vicarious thrill. I also love the bits of information regarding the exhibit itself, and the magazine pics are fabulous. Last but not least, your glamorous outfit!! Tres chic.
