Happiness IS pants!

Isn’t she divine?! I absolutely love this Simplicity sewing manual that I picked up from a local market. Each section of the manual is tabbed a different colour and introduced with a call to sewing action - ”Slim slacks belong in your life” is but one example.  

The Golden Age of Couture: Paris and London 1947-1957

Dior’s ‘New Look’ – 1947

This amazing exhibition needs to get marked in your diary now! Though it’s not due to land at the Bendigo Art Gallery until the 7th December this year (running until March 22nd ‘09), ‘The Golden Age of Couture: Paris and London 1947-1957′ you must be forewarned – this is the best fashion exhibition you will ever see! I was lucky enough to catch it in it’s home gallery the V&A in London in November 2007 and I’ll never forget it. So much sparkle, so much razzle so much dazzle!

Focusing on the period of fashion that started with the introduction of Dior’s ‘New Look’, this exhibition gives an insight into the couturiers art. Never has fashion looked so very very good!
