Does this mean I can get on Project Runway?
Back when I was in London, I spent a day and a half at the Victoria & Albert Museum and could have spent another day or two there. SO MUCH STUFF.
Kind of makes me happy the only fashion foibles I have to deal with are super skinny jeans, the return of 80's fashion and my lovely pear shape.
And the part that makes me think I could give Kara Janx a run for her money? There's a fashion section, a textile section and many displays of dresses and a displays of dresses all over the museum. They let me design my own dress fabric and emailed me a copy to save:
The best part was the textile room. There are these great textile designs and then there's boring looking room full of desks. Closer inspection reveals that these desks are full of slider display cases full of old textiles! Hundreds year old lace! 16th century patterned cloth! Ancient Peruvian weaving! And if that's not cool enough, check out this design:
That is seriously the coolest thing ever. Especially it was created in... I think it's the 9th century?
