Fashion Museum Bath

Ok so I've temporarily dropped off the face of the earth.. yes my blogging has become non existent, due to being so so busy with work and uni preparation - which of course is no excuse eh? But the fact that I've been preparing for weeks to be ready to move, hasn't seemed to have made a difference to the fact I feel like the most; un organised, un-prepared and panicked Fashion student in the world! (a little over-exaggerated buy y'know)

This post isn't direct Fashion, just a few pictures of my trip to the Fashion Museum in Bath - It was fabulous. 

These pictures are from a temporary exhibition at the museum called, Dressing The Stars. Where there were many costumes used in Film including; Costumes from Pirates of The Caribbean, The Dutchess, Gladiator, Troy, The Kings Speech, Death on the Nile, Shakespeare in Love and many more.

Worn By Orlando Bloom as William Turner

Love the detail on this armour based piece.

I absolutely fell in love with this jacket, taken from the film Shakespeare in Love, Designed by Sandy Powell (Award winner for Best Costume Design 1998) The beautifully designed jacket was so detailed and delicate, I could easily imagine this on the catwalk, Very Hedi Slimane.

And yes I fell in love again with this Tailored piece worn by Emma Tompson in Howards End. Designed by Jenny Beavan and John Bright.

 A beautiful intricate detailed gown worn by Swoosie Kurtz in the film Dangerous Liaisons.

The Museum has many different assembly rooms full of Fashion from all era's, also hosting designers including, Alexander McQueen, Vivienne Westwood, Vera Wang and Versace.

I also got the opportunity to try on a replica 19th Century Corset and Crinoline (I think one of these is needed in every wardrobe now I know how skinny it can make your waist)

(sorry for such bad photo quality)

As well as having rooms of periodic Fashion, they also had a contemporary collection from one of my much loved designers, Helmut Lang. You can shop his collection at NET-A-PORTER

I took many photos but they are all pretty rubbish as his work was displayed behind glass - so I won't bore you all with the reflection blurred photos.

I would highly recommend going to have a look at this museum, it was really interesting and informative - you were able to see so many era's of gorgeous fashion. (and some not so gorgeous)

The Museum paired with Lunch and shopping in Bath city makes a lovely day out.

I hope everyone is well and having a good bank holiday weekend! :)
