Hello all, I am going to do a two part post regarding the Valentino exhibit currently held at Somerset House in London. I took a lot of photos for those of you who may not be able to see the exhibition here in London themselves. The Valentino exhibit will be at the Somerset House until the 3rd of March 2013 so if you are in London, do try and get there before it ends. The exhibit is well worth a visit and the venue is a pure bonus. It made me wonder why I don't go there every week.
So come and join me...
I walked part of my journey and walked past the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden.
I normally don't walk by this part of the building and this dancer pirouetting caught my eye.
Hopefully tomorrow in Part 2, I will post some photos and video footage from a talk I went to at Somerset House after I saw the exhibit related to the Valentino show, couture, and some extra bits. It was called, very simply, Valentino: Italian Couture discussed. The speakers were Alistair O'Neil who is a lecturer at Central St Martins and also one of the curators of the exhibit. The other speaker was Sonnet Stanfill who is the curator of 20th century and contemporary fashion at the V & A museum.

Please excuse the pictures - I will try harder next time but it was freezing and I am still mastering my camera.
