APPRECIATION

I just wanted to THANK the Bloggers that supported my Easter Give Away, by posting about it on their own blogs. It is very appreciated.
I hope we will reach 100 followers before long, so that all of you don´t have to wait longer than necessary.

Fabulous illustration for Robert Piquet.

While I am at it, I will call on you all to share your best fashion experience or contribute by writing a post about something related to fashion. You´ll get noticed and can link back to your blog.

Take a look at the previous contributers here on "My fashion Moment" in the right column.

HOLLYWOOD COSTUMES

Talking of London, wait until Autumn to go ! Because Hollywood´s most memorable costumes is to go on display at V&A from October 20.

"This exhibition will bring together over 100 outfits worn by unforgettable cinema characters, from Dorothy's dress in the Wizard of Oz,  Scarlett O'Hara's velvet 'curtain' dress from Gone With the Wind, Holly Golightly's black Givenchy dress from Breakfast at Tiffany's to Darth Vader's cape."

The Exhibition is curated by Hollywood costume designer Deborah Nadoolman Landis, who explains:
"I didn't go looking for costumes, I went looking for characters. This is not a decorative show. There's plenty of glamour - Marilyn Monroe's dress from Some Like It Hot is jaw-dropping in its nakedness.
But it's not about the fabulousity, it's about what's inside." From The Telegraph.

I am looking foreward to that. Are You coming ?

BALLGOWNS

Dear readers; if you´re going to London this year, you have to take a look at this Exhibition.
In this 60th Jubilee year of Queen Elizabeth’s reign, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London has a promising Exhibition opening in May.

"From debutantes and royalty to charity balls and the red carpet, Ballgowns: British glamour since 1950 charts 60 years of stylish evening wear".

"The exhibition highlights the styles, silhouettes and colours that have been perennial favourites for many years in Britain’s traditional social season of debutante parties, private balls, weddings, and charity events that for long has provided fashion designers with opportunities to create elaborate, tour-de-force evening-wear.
In more recent years, the ballroom has been replaced by the red carpet. Though the context has changed, the ballgown remains a staple in many designers’ collections and continues to serve as an expression of status, protocol, and taste, while simultaneously embodying elements of drama and fantasy".

From Amazon, where the book can be purchased.

DENIM PILLOWS

Maybe it is seen before, but I just wanted to share this idea with you.
My partner just did these two pillows of some old worn out jeans. The result turned out quite good I think. Just for some inspirations.

EASTER GIVE-AWAY

I have decided to give away this corset. How does that sound for a start?

I am ready to GIVE ! -Are you ready to recieve ? You just have to sign up and leave a comment about my blog in return.

The corset is made of silk, lined, boned and closed with a lace. The size is about a 38-40 (european), 12/14 (UK/USA) and normally prized 3000,- or 403,- euro.

 

I will draw the lots when I have reached about 100 followers. If it works, I might have more surprises to come. . .
Stay tuned and spread the word, readers from around the world and have a Happy Easter.

"STARS EN DIOR"

Not long ago Chanel was publishing a fashionbook about "Northern Women in Chanel"  by Peter Farago and Ingela Klemetz-Farago, who also had an exhibition at Design Museum Denmark in Copenhagen.

I didn´t see it myself, but the exhibition had mixed reviews. . . questioning if it just was a concept to promote Chanel, the photographers and why northern women ? - missing the context.

Now Dior takes it further. "Stars en Dior" is an upcoming book about Dior dressing the Stars of Hollywood. 

-Telling the story of Dior and featuring 250 photos of film stills, location shots, photographs and of course portraits of stars past and present in looks by the iconic designer and his successors.

Books for fashionistas and collectors, but also another way of getting  more publicity and valuable exposure, to keep up the interest I guess. 

"Stars en dior" is published by Rizzoli and coming out in France this May and later on in other countries.
