I popped in to the V & A museum the other day for some inspiration for the Somerville Arts Week Costume Show. They have some beautiful prints and designs from historical fashions, as well it being full of various other bits and pieces from British history. You really can lose yourself in there, particularly at the height of the tourist season! If only we could persuade someone brave to have a go at walking the Chapel catwalk in some replica electric blue Vivienne Westwood platforms...
Future exhibitions include: 'Hollywood Costume' between 20th October 2012 and 27th January 2013. Among the exhibits are outfits worn by Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean, Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany's and Keira Knightley as Cecelia Tallis in Atonement. How exciting!
