an inspiring Saturday

Saturday was spent in London at the V & A, where I finally managed to make time to see 'Hats - An Anthology by Stephen Jones'.

It was so good and I must have been the only person in the very crowded space who was taking as long as possible to ogle all of the pieces on display. It was too hard to pick a favourite, but I particularly liked the collection based on nature (as well as the knitted ones!)

I then moved on to the Fashion room, which I enjoyed equally. Lots of photos were taken but the only one worth publicising is the Tracy Emin bag:


The Fashion room was also playing host to 'Future Fashion Now: New Design from the Royal College of Art' which was awesome, full of amazing pieces. In particular Lea Carreno's work caught my eye, some of the pieces on display can here

Needless to say I had a good browse round the shop and as well as treating myself to a book on Vivienne Westwood (hero) I found these adorable buttons that were too cute to pass by:



It was always seems to me that I forget how much I get out of going to museums and other treasure troves until I've actually been again. On as hot late May day, it was a pleasure to stroll around the cool marble corridors.
