Bellville Sassoon Exhibition







On a recent trip to Bath Fashion Museum I was lucky enough to see their collection of Bellville Sassoon couture garments which were donated, along with various fashion drawings, a few years ago.
Also on show were a selection of Princess Diana's outfits which were specially designed for her, there also were letters between her and David Sassoon discussing the details of the designs which were very touching.
I have included photos of my favourite dresses from the exhibition, it was so interesting to be able to look at these gowns so closely and see how intricately they are constructed. I also took this chance to practise my observational drawing in the museum. I am going to create some fashion illustrations from these in my next fashion class as I think these dresses could be quite challenging but also have some good results.

Shiny Shoes

Shiny Shoes

The metallic trend can be a hard one to pull off but I think shoes are a great way to wear the trend. It was very popular during 2013 but I never got round to getting myself a pair so I am determined to this spring! I love the rose gold tones that are around and the cut out brogues are also amazing. I love the contrast between a heavy soled shoe with a pretty pink shine, like the Topshop ones I've featured in this small collection of my current favourite metallic styles.
