As if staging a thoroughly competent exhibition of New York talent from Cloak to Zac Posen wasn't enough, in addition to their stellar permanent exhibition of period pieces and vintage couture, London's Victoria and Albert Museum will be staging a little exhibition from September entitled The Golden Age of Couture: Paris and London 1947- 1957. What could it possibly be about, we collectively pondered.
Taking its cue from Dior's famous quote (coinciding somewhat conspicuously with the launch of New Look. Hmm...), the hotly anticipated exhibition will spare no quarter in bringing what should be jaw-dropping pieces from Hartnell, Balmain, Givenchy, Balenciaga and of course, Dior himself. The exhibition runs until January 2008. You can count on us to be nosing around on press
day, yes? Watch this space.
