A V&A treasure trove


As I have previously posted, I have been attending the Vintage to Vogue weekly lecture series at the Victoria and Albert museum in London and was lucky enough to visit with my fellow classmates the prints and archives room.  I know it's open to students basically all the time but I'm no longer a student and wouldn't really know where to begin looking.  Our lecturer Dr Claire Rose had already chosen specific prints to show the group which certainly made the over sensory stimulation easier to cope with.  Had there of been hundreds of prints for us to flick through I'm not sure I would have survived!  Dr Rose explained the importance of many of the prints including the ones illustrated and then created for the Queen, in addition to the Manolo Blahnik originals and Jean Muir's.  For 45 minutes I was in glorious snap happy heaven- apologies for the overload in photos!
