Above is a video from Youtube by someone who went to the exhibition. Lucky them!
(These are my photos from my copy of the book - they are not great quality thanks to the grey and dull weather, but give some idea of some of the images)
I was very lucky to receive a beautiful coffee-table book which is the catalogue of the V & A exhibition about Marie Antoinette Style which is on at the moment, but sold out, unless you are a member of the V & A. While I would love to be, it just isn't practical as a trip to London is not a cheap day out and to see the museum in all its glory would take a week, not a day!
However, there are many videos about the exhibition (such as the one at the top of this post) which give a good taste of what it is and the book is a beautifully produced accompaniment and looks to be an interesting read in its own right.
There are lots of gorgeous photos of jewels, furniture, clothes, shoes of the time as well as discussions about her influences, from the films about her to fashion, interiors and many things in between.
There are also videos about the book on instagram and facebook (neither of which I am part of) but I am sure they will give a good idea of the book. I am really looking forward to sitting and reading the book (in stages, as it is quite a tome).
There are lots of blog posts about the exhibition too, so here is just one. I am sorry that I am not able to see the exhibition in person, but with all the articles, videos and reviews, and a copy of the book, it's the next best thing.
