Day 61 - V&A yet again!
Friday, June 24, 2011
So we’ve been to the V&A a few times before.. why am I only seeing these things for the first time?! This place is HUGE! I legit got lost today — sorry about that, Gerard. Oh my god, I saw so much today — well about as much as I’d see any other day. I just can’t believe I hadn’t seen it in the V&A before. Sorry if I’m rambling.
Some of my thought on the Yohji Yamamoto show:
I was not looking forward to this show but it turned out to be quite incredible. He knows his material and fabrics extremely well and his designs were very innovative
A lot of fashion has that ‘unwearable’ quality; his doesn’t. I would happily wear one of his pieces and not only love the style, but also be comfortable while wearing it.
One of my favorite pieces was the knitted white hat. I studied it for quite a while and think I might attempt to remake it… altered of course.
The show was brilliant. And so were the other rooms I saw today. A big topper was the glass room. as well as the jewlery section. The theatre room was INSANE! So many beautiful costumes from shows that I LOVE! I even got to try some costumes on myself… I’m a bit of a nerd.
