"The Golden Age of Couture, Paris and London 1947-1957" exhibition will last until 6th January at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. Run if you haven't seen it yet as this was one of the best exhibition of 2007 !
Completely dedicated to the period of post-war workshops revival, the show focuses on the aesthetic turning point of this decade: in 1947, Christian Dior presents his famous line "Corolla" that the famous journalist, Carmel Snow, called the " New Look". The success was instant and global. This collection marks the beginning of one of the most famous moments in the history of fashion. The "New Look" forever changed the canons of fashion and femininity.
This show explores the way for this change, but does not forget to celebrate other virtuoso such as Balenciaga, Norman Hartnell, Givenchy and Balmain. John Galliano, the current artistic director of the house Dior was among the guests of the premiere of this exhibition... so glamourous.
As I had not written about this exhibition yet, I though it was important to underline its importance so run run run !
