Yesterday I went to Somerset House to the exhibition  "Masters of Style Celebrating The Stories Behind Italian Fashion"
"2011 marks 150 years since Italy became a unified nation which has subsequently created some of the world's most famous artists,industrialist and designers."


Giorgio Armani
Dolce & Gabbana 
Salvatore Ferragamo 
Gucci
Missoni
Prada


Quotes from a couple of the designers:


"What emerges is an expression of style and personality - not just fashion" - Giorgio Armani


"Photography has great evocative power:it has content and substance and it encourages reflection and imagination.Photography is one of the art forms that we and the public love most." - Dolce & Gabbana


Prada A/W 1988-89 
Photographer: Albert Watson
Model: Charlotte Pelle Flossaut

Gucci 1967 


There were some great photographs at the exhibition that have inspired me and given me some ideas.
