The bright lights of London!

Unbelievably, this was my first ever trip to London. What better way to spend it than a visit to the world renowned V&A museum, and then shopping on Oxford street with my friends from the course? 

The trip was mostly aimed towards the V&A and the ongoing exhibition, 'Hollywood Costume' which is a definite must if you haven't visited. Anyone can enjoy this exhibition, especially if you're into your films. Pictures weren't allowed in there but this article shows a few snaps. My personal favourite was the Spiderman costume because you could really see the detail in all the lines. I also liked how they mounted it on the wall to truly represent the character. 

What was most intriguing was the fact that every costume gives a true representation. For example, it showed the actual body measurements of the actors. I didn't realise how small James Bond was in real life as in films, he can be made to look taller due to camera angles, but there's no escaping the truth of the costumes.
