VW Hong Kong Exhibition

As a fashion lover, I can't resist to go Vivien Westwood Exhibition.

There is a world's end clock on the entrance of the exhibition. It represents Westwood's attitudes towards her creative world, "I have a kind of in-built clock which always reacts against anything orthodox". I think it is also gives the mood of entering her time capsule.

This is one of the most favorite collection I like in the exhibition, called Wallace Collection. Westwood got the inspiration from the 18th-century French paintings. She used statuesque models dressed in sumptuous costumes and posed on 10-inch platform shoes, as if on a pedestal. The idea was that they had just stepped out of a portrait.
