Breathtaking!!!!
18 October 2015
This exhibition is breathtaking! The colours are so beautiful, it is highly interesting to see all the techniques in videos of how to make these fabrics and it is enlightening where in India which fabrics were produced. At lot can be learned! Also, the exhibition is beautifully arranged in various rooms. Of course, I had to buy one of those beautiful shawls in the shop.

Une exposition passionnante
28 October 2015
J'ai passé ma vie dans le prêt à porter, et j'ai encore appris beaucoup de choses au V&A. Les explications techniques sont très claires et très complètes. Certaines pièces présentées sont de toute beauté. Et la conception générale de l'exposition, mélange de thématique et de chronologique, est très réussie. Vaut le voyage depuis Paris !
