Getting inspired and motivated

Monday mornings are perfect for hitting the museum. All the weekend tourists are gone and you will probably be the only one there when you come early. That's the time I love, just me and the art. Here I get inspired and also motivate myself to be creative as well as work hard for the week ahead. At the Victoria & Albert Museum you can not only visit the current fashion and design exhibitions like Constable or the Wedding Dresses one but also the free all year classics like Asian Art or ancient artefacts. The Weston Cast Court is my favourite room of the museum. The enormous golden door is breathtaking and I think the craftsmanship of the details is just spectacular.

It is too bad that...

the Horst P. Horst Exhibition has ended on 4th January 2015. If you did not manage to see it, here is the link to my blogpost about it. Nothing you have to be sad about because this amazing book about the exhibition is still available. It is an inspiration and every once in a while I browse through it and look at the masterpieces like the Picture from the Mainbocher Corset.

Modefotografie fasziniert mich. Besonders, wie sie sich verändert hat über die Jahrzehnte. Schaut man sich manches alte Vogue Cover an, wirkt es oft nicht mehr zeitgemäß, wobei andere wiederum jetzt noch druckbereit wären. Ein Fotograf der seiner Zeit voraus war und besonders sein Handwerk verstand, war Horst P. Horst.  Dieser Name sollte den meisten Modefans ein Begriff sein. Wer ihn nicht vom Namen her kennt, kennt jedoch seine Bilder.

FASHION & ART : "Wedding Dresses" Ausstellung im Victoria & Albert Museum, London

Bei allem, was im entferntesten mit einer Hochzeit zu tun hat, schlagen Frauenherzen höher. Bei Hochzeitskleidern sowieso. Und diese sind Anlass zur neuesten Ausstellung des V&A in London.
