Jean Paul Gaultier | The Barbican London

Firstly i'd like to apologise again for my lack of blogging recently. Since getting my new job i've been working full time and really haven't found the spare moment to type up a blog post! I have also recently joined a gym so i've been going after work and then just being knackered when i get in.

I have been veryyy busy indeed recently, been travelling over the UK it seems, visiting people from uni, visiting friends, visiting family. But i thought this would be a good thing to blog about!

The weekend 7th-8th June, i went to London for the day and attended the Jean Paul Gaultier fashion exhibition show. I had a lovely time, and it was so affordable at only £9 for a student ticket! You get an allocated time slot to look round so that it's never too busy at one time, allowing you to actually be able to see the outfits and take your time looking. The exhibition was set up in the Barbican in London, and i'm not sure how long the exhibition is lasting.

The exhibition featured many of Jean Paul's designs, for celebrities, for weddings, different subcultures such as gothic clothing, punk clothing, nautical clothing. There were so many things to look at and amazing outfits that i took plenty of photos off. 

These are the well known corsets designed for and featured by Madonna. These corsets were the actual ones worn by Madonna herself and were a must to photograph!

This was worn by Kylie Minouge

I'm sorry if the photo's aren't very good quality, i took them all on my iphone and i wasn't allowed to use flash within the exhibition. The exhibition was prettyyy dark so my iphone hasn't done too badly! I don't actually own or have the money for a camera at the moment, and i don't really want one that badly so photo's on my blog will be on my iphone until i begin to reallyyyy want to buy a camera. (and have the money to do so).

After the exhibition i went shopping on Oxford Street which i would highly advise NOT to do on a saturday at 2 in the afternoon. It was horrendously busy, and every single item of clothing within Miss Selfridge had make-up on it. Girls were everywhere, you were pushed around, it was disgustingly hot, just please do not do this. 

I found shopping in the big Selfridges department store a lot less stressful and more spacious and they actually have a miss selfridge within the store so i was happy!

I have been a sucker for Kurt Geiger lately and at the moment have 4 pairs, so my next blog post will probably be showing which ones i have :)
