The clothes look great, but those wallpaper backgrounds are awful - they really detract from the presentation.

Funny, I didn't even notice that, Jonathan! (Though the mannequins made me think of the fab ones you commissioned for the Fashion History Museum... :USETHUMBUP:)

The mannequins on the small "islands" in the center rotated, and there was a jukebox (with maybe 50 songs on it?) which visitors could actually choose a favorite selection on. (DH, who was naturally done looking at the clothes before me, had a good time with that!)

One really funny thing was overhearing the Baby Boom generation guests (ie "I had a pair of pants just like that", "That reminds me of the dress I wore when...", etc.)
 
Looks so fab! Thanks for sharing these images!
 
Carrie,

Well I would be one of those whispering baby boomers! I remember all those fashions when I was a sweet young thing and yes, I actually wore some of those styles too, but not the high end designer stuff. Although I did have a few Biba skirts and dresses that were hand- me-downs that I wore till they literally fell apart and then I made a scarf out of 1 of them and that wore out too. I REALLY really wanted to see this show, but no way I am able to travel now. So...THANK YOU .....I really enjoyed seeing this, thank you for sharing. Lucky you!

I agree about the wallpaper, it is not only distracting but ugly too.
