The Audrey Hepburn Dress Collection, London.
Posted on 2:57 AM by follow me
I am of course a massive vintage fashion fan and I love the 1950s in particular so to have been invited to take a look at this collection was a real treat. I also took my mother in law with me who shares my love of Hepburn and we ended up spending at least an hour going through all the Hepburn outfits, discussing the films and how the dresses must of been made and how romantic the time was. It was a fabulous day out and we both felt rather privileged to get so up close with some of Hepburn's most famous vintage dresses.

The best thing about the exhibit apart from the amazing Audrey Hepburn dresses and outfits, was all the details that had gone into creating this fabulous vintage dress exhibit. There were beautiful archived pictures that I had never seen before hung around the room and the catalogue was full of information about Audrey Hepburn and the dresses she had worn. Every dress had a story and Kerry Taylor and her team must have put their all into researching the dress, the film, the decade and Audrey's life. 
If you love Audrey Hepburn and the glamour of old Hollywood you may be very excited about my other news; London's V&A museum is showcasing dresses worn by Grace Kelly in 2010. From April 17th the V&A will open their doors and display some of the most famous dresses worn by Grace Kelly. I am very excited and will be there with my prom dress on!
