Hello all:

I attended the exhibition yesterday. Stunning :)

Here are some photos:

Thanks for sharing those.

My friend and I saw the exhibit in Paris in the fall of 2017. It was just a gorgeous exhibit. I think the man was a genius.

Gorgeous!

OMG! Becky! Chuffed to bits that you posted these photos!

How I long to see Princess Margaret's ballgown, but I will never make it to London for this show as I was just at the V/A in September.

I can imagine that some of the guests attending the show were dressed to impress. I am sure some of the Tatler crowd was in attendance.

Thanks again for the lovely photos.

Thanks for sharing your photos. I went to Dior: From Paris to the World at the Denver Art Museum last month and while it was a good exhibit, I was a bit disappointed with the layout. I want to go to the V&A. It looks so beautiful!

Beautiful Ger, thanks for sharing. I am going to see this exhibit in May while I'm in London.

Thank You so much. I really enjoyed looking at the pictures. So beautiful, I can't imagine how one would feel wearing them.

I went to the V&A for the first time last year, it is such a magnificent place. For those going, be sure to have afternoon tea there.

My Malbec and scone in the William Morris room of the V/A. That scone with clotted cream was the bomb. Thin

Thin, did you visit the YSL museum in Paris when you were there? Just marvellous!

Malbec and a scone - I love it!

No, I have never been to the YSL museum in Paris, but I did meet him in New York about 23 years ago. I was working for Todd Oldham at the time. There was a party for him somewhere, maybe at the Four Season. I am almost positive Quentin Crisp was there and tried to get free clothes from him.

I have my tickets to this exhibit in April and I cannot wait. Extra bonus: Queen Victoria's diamond and sapphire coronet goes on display at the V&A the day before our Dior tickets! Lucky me.

I did go to YSL in Paris last year and we enjoyed it. Just wished there was more fashion on display! I then promptly read Loulou & Yves: The Untold Story of Loulou de la Falaise and the House of Saint Laurent afterwards. Super interesting.

The YSL museum has only been open since Oct 2017...not very long! I got lucky and was in Paris April 2018 (and smarting over missing the Dior exhibit in Paris), so the timing was right.

Mel, did you notice I have Malbec and a sidecar?

I wanted 9oz and the vendor did not have a large enough glass.

Notice the people with me, my relatives from Windsor and North London, have beakers of tea.

I don't drink tea after 9 am.

I was in heaven at the YSL exhibition!

Don't miss the Fashion & Textile museum in Bermondsey East London. Nearest station is London Bridge, and its about a 10 minutes walk. Combine it with a visit to Borough Market. I have yet to visit, although it is just a short trip from where I live, but definitely going within the next couple of months to see 'Swinging 60s' exhibition. I can recommend a couple of restaurants in the area if you wish.

BTW, for those of you visiting the UK who love fashion history, there is a simply marvellous Fashion Museum in Bath, which I have visited. It is far superior and better organised than the V&A permanent exhibition. One of many reason to visit Bath.

"Mel, did you notice I have Malbec and a sidecar?"

LOL! Man after my own heart!
