The Fashion and Textile museum in London!!

Well, finally I did it ! After nine months in london I managed to visit the Fashion  and Textile museum (FTM)! There are two such museums in london, the one I visited which is located in the fashionable high street of Bermondsey and the other one, the more famous is called the Victoria and Albert museum.    

The FTM is a cutting edge centre for contemporary fashion, jewelry and textiles. Now, the current exhibition  (from 20 sep 2013 until 14 jan. 2014), which I have seen and took same photos for you  is "The Glamour of Bellville Sassoon". Bellville Sassoon (B.S.) is a very famous  British Couture house for aristocrats and royals! B. S. has designed dresses for all the female members of the Royal family apart from Her Majesty the Queen. At the exhibition, apart from the main rooms, there is the royal room where you can see two dresses owned by Princess Diana and some others owned by Princess Michael of Kent (unfortunately I was not allowed to take pictures in that room). Generally  in that exhibition one can see the history of British glamour, from the late 1950s couture houses and the celebrities who became clients of the company, to our times. You can see the progress of fashion in pattern, textile and design, decade by decade! It was indeed interesting and fascinating! There was also a very nice shop with interesting fashion books, impressive jewelry and unique handbags! 

I  totally recommended  it.
