The exhibition officially opened to the public today and ends Feb 4th…so you’ll have to hurry if you decide to make it down. See after the jump for location details and opening times.

If you haven’t already been to see The Golden Age of Couture exhibition at the V&A museum then hurry! The exhibition ends Jan 6th and I’d recommend it to anyone who can make it. I managed to get down to the museum during the summer and I loved it. Its such an inspiring exhibition and if you love couture then you will literally be in heaven for an hour or so.
Standing up close to these beautiful creations from couturiers such as Hardy Amies, Balenciaga, Givenchy and Pierre Balmain and seeing the wonderful craftsmanship first hand is a once in a lifetime opportunity.
The best part of the exhibtion for me was just at the end when visitors are treated to Dior couture under the direction of John Galliano. Ah…so beautiful!
