exhibition — Fash n Chips — Christine Reehorst

I went to check out the 'Romantic Fashions' exhibition at the Gemeentemuseum in Den Haag yesterday. A 19th-century fashion exhibition that features costumes from the time of Pride and Prejudice, Jane Eyre, Eline Vere and Downton Abbey. As an obvious fan of costume films and series like that I thoroughly enjoyed getting a close-up look at these fashions. What made the exhibition an even greater experience were the settings, created by designer Maarten Spruyt. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area! The exhibition is on until March 22nd. Use the prev and next buttons to navigate through the gallery above. And you can also find an interesting video about the exhibition here!

I visited the Gemeentemuseum in The Hague yesterday to check out the Chanel exhibition 'The Chanel Legend', a story of Coco Chanel and her celebrated fashion house. To be honest, it did not live up to my expectations entirely - it was quite a small exhibition, I thought, with very few real eye-catchers. However, Chanel obviously has one of the most interesting stories in fashion (starting with Coco Chanel and coming up to its current designer Karl Lagerfeld) which was nice to read and see more about and, of course, it was also lovely to get to see some famous designs up close. - You can see the exhibition in The Hague until the 2nd of February after which it will transfer to the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe in Hamburg.
