Givenchy Couture

I have been neglecting my blog for the past few mad busy weeks but I have finally finished sixth form for summer! So happy to see my latest Textiles project handed in and sorted at last. I started my work placement at the Walker Art Gallery conservation centre today, which I have been excited about for months. I love everything about art, especially in grand galleries like the Walker that are an experience in themselves to visit. I started today by working with the Costume Curator, helping to select period evening dresses from 1900 - 2000 and I was in my idea of heaven. Chests full of beautiful dresses to choose from! I loved all of the dresses and could have happily spent all day sifting through them, but I was obsessed with the pieces featuring delicate beading, embroidery and tassels, also featuring in Givenchy Couture AW 11/12, which I think I have fallen in love with! Tomorrow I am helping to dress the mannequins, bring on vintage Versache and Chanel!
