pleasure gardens

Yesterday I arrived in London, and today we went to the Museum of London. This gem of a museum tells the history of the city (starting from pre-history and heading up to the present day) through artifacts. While there, I became OBSESSED with the Pleasure Gardens, a room featuring fashion from the 18th century. I love seeing 18th century fashion in person (you can’t beat that kind of opulence) but what pushed this exhibition over the top was when I realized that the hair on all the mannequins was made of WIRE! 18th century fashion + beautiful forms in wire – I could have stayed there all day!
