My understanding of Grace Kelly is very little so this was an interesting exhibition, I think i found her life more interesting than the clothes for once. Obviously it was a celebratory exhibition of her life, but never the less she seemed quite a well rounded person with many assets, a fantastic carreer and family life. Her wardrobe was fully stocked with 50's classics, beautiful 2 piece suits, all outfits fully co-ordinated unlike today's mutilayering-clash on purpose fashion. You could see how amazingly well taylored everything was and beautiful quality fabrics. However as a fashion exhibition for a creative person like myself i would say it was largely un inspirinspiring it's not the sort of thing I can personally get ideas from, the construction was reasonably (within reason) simple and not too detailed, but as I said at the begining very interesting on a more personal note.
I'd say the highlight were the films, they really added a good dynamic an immediate visual insight into her life, especially the imagery from her wedding. The video also showed how the clothing would have looked worn and amongst similar fashion at the time, also without the ageing the clothes had enperienced over the last few decades. However needless to be so picky, the image here is an iconic dress from the exhibition, a feminine clasic.
