As you've probably guessed by now, here at Fiorelli HQ,
we’re totally fashion obsessed, and so, when we were invited along to the V&A’s
press day for The Glamour of Italian
Fashion earlier this month, we honestly couldn't contain our excitement.
The exhibition is celebrating Italy’s rich and
influential contribution to the world of fashion, right from 1945 until the
present day. So, as you can imagine, this means that it’s an exhibition filled
with luxurious and glamorous dresses that we spent hours gushing over! And we
were honestly spoilt for choice with around 120 ensembles and accessories on
display from the likes of Pucci and Versace.
We've long coveted a jewellery collection à la Elizabeth
Taylor, so, it was great to find out that her infamous jeweller of choice
Bvlgari are the lead sponsors of this exhibition, with several of their
heritage jewels being showcased too. This includes the amazing diamond and
emerald necklace that was once given to Elizabeth Taylor by Richard Burton as
an engagement present. These jewels are rarely seen on public display either,
so, as you can imagine, we were pretty excited!
And the question on your lips has to be, what did we wear
to attend such an extravagant affair? Well, we took along our stylish Paris cutout tote, which was the perfect size for storing our Italian gift shop purchases
inside, which included a limited edition Harpers Bazaar. To celebrate the launch, they've transformed their cover of their latest issue in three iconic Italian prints, we
opted for the fabulous Pucci!
The Glamour of Italian Fashion is an absolute must for
any fashion fans! Have you checked it out yet? What was your favourite part? Why
