Last May, we eagerly attended and reported on the Ballgowns: British Glamour since 1950 exhibition at London’s famous Victoria and Albert Museum, which featured an array of iconic pieces such as the late Princess Diana’s pearl encrusted Elvis style suit and memorable pieces of Alexander McQueen couture. Although the exhibition has sadly closed, we are excited to report that British high street retailer Coast has teamed up with the V&A to create a capsule collection of gorgeous dresses that have all been inspired by the exhibition.
The gowns from this collaboration range from £550 to £895 and are being dubbed as modern day pieces of history that you’ll never want to throw away. If you’re intrigued, check out Coast’s site for more info here. We particularly love the Lottie Maxi dress, £695 (above left) and the Patience Maxi £895 (above right) as we can already imagine our favourite Hollywood stars gracing the red carpets in them.
