There's something infectiously upbeat about it. You can tell that these clothes were meant to be enjoyed. <br />Elizabeth Hawksleyhttp://www.elizabethhawksley.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18955239.post-18579208409768574962014-04-07T12:07:13.095+01:002014-04-07T12:07:13.095+01:00Wow!

In spite of wartime restrictions, their cut is superb and a number of small details turned them into something elegant rather than, as in England, having a garment which remained just a no frills suit. <br /><br />For example, one of the suits, in a deep pink stripe, had its pocket cleverly cut into four triangles which met at a point in the centre, so that the stripes radiated out in four different directions. <br /><br />Simple but elegant.Elizabeth Hawksleyhttp://www.elizabethhawksley.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18955239.post-47972364355011502282014-04-05T18:35:01.503+01:002014-04-05T18:35:01.503+01:00What a fabulous exhibition, Elizabeth.

It's right up your street.<br /><br />There is also a fascinating film with various designers talking about the history of Italian fashion. <br /><br />And the shop has some lovely things, too - but watch your credit card. They're very tempting.
