Now, I’ll be very disappointed in you if you don’t make it to this upcoming exhibition – pencil it into your dance card now, because it’s not on for long and I’d hate for you to miss it:
From the NGV’s site:
In celebration of the seventieth anniversary of the House of Dior, one of the world’s most prestigious couture houses, the National Gallery of Victoria presents The House of Dior: Seventy Years of Haute Couture.
