Master of couture

Remember a few posts ago I dropped some hints I will be attending the Valentino exhibition?  Well, I did… And it was magical! The exhibition celebrates 50 years of the designer’s work. On display; gowns, coats and suits from 1959 to 2011 all beautifully curated by Patrick Kinmonth (who I regularly assist). The opening night was a very intimate event attended by fellow fashion designers like Stella Mccartney and Carolina Herrera, European royals (I got to joke around with a Greek princess) and some celebrity guests like Olivia Palermo and Liz Hurley. The exhibition is open until March 3rd so if you are around make your way to Somerset House !!!
