As part of my flatmates fourth year course, she has to visit lots of galleries to blog about. I tagged along as well, it finally got me out of the house on a wet Monday morning. I have never been to the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art One before, but here is another one…

Mary Quant
This is another exhibition that I am very late to write about, but again, I can’t not talk about this designer. Mary Quant could be seen to have revolutionised and sexualised fashion for young girls of the 60s. This was a really exciting exhibition for me as it showed me the starting points of fashions…
Christian Dior: Designer of Dreams
I know I am a little late in writing this post about the Dior exhibition, a year in fact! But, I could not not write a post about how gorgeous this exhibition was! The Dior brand was started in 1947 and the exhibition is a good retrospect of all of their previous designs. The exhibition…
National Museum of Scotland
This is one of my favourite places in Edinburgh to escape for while. I can tell you that this is a maze of a museum. I have been several times and I always get lost no matter what. The museum consists of several sections but the main gallery has to be my favourite. It is…
New section of the V&A
The new section of the V&A is absolutely stunning. The new extension provides a new entrance, courtyard and gallery. The modern extension somewhat fits into the 19th-century architecture, which is very clever of the architect Amanda Levete. Of course, the V&A is the type of building that you need to focus on the features of…
Thread Counts at WOMAD
We stumbled across this group at WOMAD festival in August. This group is based in Stroud and provides classes for children in order for them to focus and concentrate on something creative; this usually has calming effects on children. The initiative of this group is actually something I believe in strongly as I am thinking…
Whitworth Art Gallery
I visited this art gallery as I was in Manchester in August. The gallery is located on the Oxford Road in Manchester right in the middle of the university district. The building is made out of the traditional red brick with a modern glass extension at the back. The gallery is small compared to the…
Balenciaga at the V&A
Balenciaga is a Spanish fashion designer who emerged in the 1930s. This new exhibition at the V&A shows Balenciaga’s progression in fashions as well as how other people have been inspired by his designs. His designs can be seen to be very classic with a modern twist. This can be seen in the dress below…
Pink Floyd: Their Mortal Remains
This is a very worthwhile exhibition to visit. I visited this exhibition with my friends who are not very keen of cultural exhibitions and they both enjoyed it very much. As you enter into the exhibition you get given a headset which is programmed to turn on at certain points in the exhibition. This is…
Molly Goddard
This fashion show was a lovely way to finish my school year. I went to this fashion show with a friend of mine and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. The tickets were unusually free and all you had to do was book them through the V&A website and collect them on the day. It was part…
Regents University Fashion Show
This was my first ever fashion show and I tell you it didn’t disappointment. We visited this fashion show as a result of a girl at school winning a competition. This was a fantastic opportunity to see the type of work as a result of the Regents fashion course. The fashion show took place in…
New Designers
This was my first experience of New Designers. Our Textiles group went in order to gain some inspiration for our projects and it really helped me to improve my presentational techniques. There are also a couple of courses, other than Textiles, that were presenting at the exhibition such as Ceramics and Jewellery. If you do not…
