" BALLGOWNS: British Glamour Since 1950 " at Victoria and Albert Museum in London

6a01053695b916970c016305eaf3e7970d-550wiTokom svakog boravka u Londonu iskoristim priliku da posetim predivan Victoria i Albert muzej, koji uvek ima zanimljive postavke. Trenutno muzej slavi britanski dizajn i kreativnost od 1948 godine do danas sa mnogobrojnim vrlo interesantnim postavkama. Ovog puta ugostio je izložbu balskih haljina koje su na crvenom tepihu nosile najvece dame i mocne zene poput Audrey Hepburn, princeze Diane, Beyonce, Bianca Jagger, Elizabeth Hurley, Sandra Bulloc i mnoge druge. Engleska na najbolji nacin slavi velicanstvo i glamur balskih haljina, s toga je bilo pravo zadovoljstvo videti na jednom mestu neke od najlepsih toaleta sveta i to iz period od 1950 godine do danas, a svaka od njih je u proslosti imala svoju posebnu premijeru, crveni tepih i damu koja ju je ponela. Izložene haljine dela su prestiznih britanskih dizajnera poput : Alexnadra McQueena, Vivienne Westwood, Worth-a, kao i mnogih drugih, a to cete videti u nastavku teksta. Svaki od ovih dizajnera predstavlja sopstveno vidjenje forme vecernjeg glamura. Neke od njih sam izdvojila za vas drage moje citateljke, a ispod svake haljine cu vam dati kratak opis. Razgledanje zapocinjemo vintage haljinama koje imaju posebnu vrednost, a potom idemo ka modernijim modelima danas najaktuelnijih britanskih dizajnera.

Every time being in London I love to visit beautiful Victoria and Albert museum, which always has amazing exhibitions. This summer museum celebrates British design and creativity from 1948 to the present day with a series of major exhibitions. The museum hosted ballgowns which were worn by the most beautiful ladies and powerful women like Audrey Hepburn, Diane Princess of Wales, Beyonce, Bianca Jagger, Elizabeth Hurley, Sandra Bulloc and many others. England celebrates glamour of ball gowns in the most proper way. It was a real pleasure seeing in one place the most amazing ballgowns in the world from the 1950 until this day and each of them in the history had special premier, red carpet and a lady who was wearing it. All dresses are designed by the most prestigious British designers such as: Alexander McQueena, Vivienne Westwood, Worth and many others which you will see later on in the text. Each of those designers showed their own vision of form and glamour. My dear ladies, I have chosen to show you some of the most beautiful dresses and under every photo I will give you some information about each of them. We will start with vintage dresses which have special value and then we will continue with modern ones, designed by the most wanted and prestigious British designers.
IMG_1513Haljina iz 1960 godine cuvenog britanskog dizajnera Charles Frederick Worth-a, inace jednog od osnivaca visoke mode. Haljina je naparavljena od svilenog satena, a nosila ju je i poklonila muzeju gospodja Roy Hudson.
This dress is from the year 1960 designed by great Charles Frederick Worth, who was “father” of haute couture. It’s made of silk satin and gold thread. Worn and given by Mrs Roy Hudson.IMG_1506Izuzetno cenim i volim rad Worth-a, pa sam morala i ovu haljinu da izdvojim. Sacinjena je od satena sa cirkonima i perlicama, a datira iz 1955 godine. Poklonila ju je takodje gospodja Roy Hudson. Iskreno se nadam da ce modna kuca Worth koju je pre nekoliko godina ponovo postavio na noge dizajner Giovanni Bedin, ponovo doci u sam vrh visoke mode.
I appreciate and love Worth’s work, so I had to show you also this dress which is made of satin with sequins and crystal beading in 1955. Given by Mrs Roy Hudson. I hope that fashion house Worth, which couple of years ago brought back young designer Giovanni Bedin, will be again one of the leading fashion houses of haute couture.IMG_1508Haljinu od svilenog satena je dizajnirao Norman Hartnell, datira iz 1953 godine i muzeju ju je poklonila Lili Palmer.

A sada drage dame slede noviji modeli balskih haljina trenutno najaktivnih i najtrazenijih britanskih dizajnera.
And now my dear ladies take a look at the ballgowns designed by the British most famous designers.IMG_1517Haljina mode kuce Marchesa iz kolekcije za 2012 godinu, cela je napravljena od tila.
The dress that comes from the fashion house Marchesa is from the collection 2012 and it’s made of tulle.IMG_1518Haljina koja je delo popularne dizajnerke medju poznatim licnostima Jenny Packham, je iz kolekcije za porlece/leto 2011. Zaista je bozanstvena, sva od svilenog tila i kristala. Sandra Bulok ju je nosila na 68-oj godisnjoj dodeli Zlatnog globusa, a ja sam je davno zapazila u seriji “Gossip Girl” (mislim da vam je do sada poznata moja opsesija modom u toj seriji). Haljinu je inace licno dizajnerka pozajmila muzeju.
This fabulous dress is designed by Jenny Packham, who is a favourite designer of many celebrities. The dress is from the collection Spring/Summer 2011, made of silk tulle and crystals. Sandra Bullock wore it to the 68th Annual Golden Globe Awards. I noticed this dress while ago in TV show “Gossip Girl” (until now you probably noticed my obsession with fashion from that series). The dress is lent by designer to the Museum.IMG_1520Posebno sam se obradovala kada sam videla haljinu srpske dizajnerke Roksande Ilicnic koja vec dugi niz godina uspesno radi u London, a poznato je da su njene modele nosile princeza Kate i prva dama Amerike Michelle Obama. Koliko se secam ova izlozena haljina je iz kolekcije za 2009 godinu, svakako izuzetno zanimljiva i neobicna.
I was especially feeling glad to see the dress of Serbian designer Roksanda Ilincic who is successfully working for a long time here in London. Her dress was worn by princess Kate and the first lady Michelle Obama. As I remember this dress is from collection 2009, very interesting and beautiful.vanda_ballgowns6_v_16may12_pr_b_320x480Sa leve strane je haljina Ralph & Russo koju je nosila Beynoce, u sredini haljina od Marios Schwab, a crvenu je dizajnirao Antonio Berardi.

Slozicete se samnom da su balske haljine vecne i znacajna inspiracija u modernom odevanju. Nadam se da sam uspela da vam docaram ovu izlozbu ukoliko vec niste bile. Ceo muzej je bozanstven i ima postavke i predivna dela najvecih umetnika iz celog sveta. A obilazak ovog muzeja obavezno morate zavrsiti posetom restoranu koji se nalazi unutar muzeja, a kako drugacije nego uz engleski caj sa mlekom i poslasticu.
I hope you enjoyed this fabulous exhibition. Whole museum is amazing with the most beautiful art from all around the world. There is no better way to finish exploring the museum then in the restaurant inside with a cup of English tea with milk and some delicious desert with jam. IMG_1528
