The other week I headed into London to check out the Paul Smith and Isabella Blow Exhibitions,
Unfortunately you were not allowed to take photographs at the Isabella one, But I got plenty at the Paul Smith. I really loved the Paul Smith exhibition, It showed his work space throughout the years in the different shops he worked at, there was pattern cuttings hanging from the ceilings, back stage tags, old sketchbooks which I would have LOVED to look through, Illustrations and design ideas, Fabric swatches and so much more! There was also a wall of photographs and also his collections, which were beautiful.
Being London and such a great exhibition the gift shop was very expensive so I didn't manage to buy a book as much as I would have loved too. Next it was to somerset house to see the Isabella Blow exhibition, Now this one was truly so beautiful the details and delicate designs on show, the dresses were stunning and the displays like a under water scene were so pretty to look at, I wish now looking back I had done some sketches of it, This exhibition was very big, there was lots of things in different rooms. A room I really loved was full of black and white fashion photography.
After the exhibitions me and Jaz headed to Oxford street Topshop of course! and tried the new craze drink that is bubbleology, I had the strawberry and apple one. It was very SWEET and sickly and I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would. Next time I want to try the Mocha Milk drink. I purchased a beautiful baby pink satin bra whilst there, and a gorgeous faded orange dress.
Over all very successful day. :)
