Pleasure & Pain

Recommended Posts

Has anyone been to the Pleasure & Pain exhibition at the V&A Museum. It is extremely good - a well curated exhibition covering the history of footwear with exhibits brought in from collections all over the workd, plus those from the V&A's own collection. Fascinating exhibit, well laid out. It will be there intil the end of January.

just thought I would mention it.

It's on the list ....

To be honest, I wasn't sure it would be worth it. I'm aware of the Chinese foot binding, and I'm fairly familiar with the Vivienne Westwood platforms. If you recommend it, I might put myself in the 'painful' position of getting there. It's a PITA to travel to from the "North". I don't do trains as they are prohibitively expensive for me. I usually get parked, but the journey, well .... painful.

It is quite a large and well curated exhbit. Lots of shoes of course, but film clips etc as well. It is divided into sections and includes shoes and boots from all over the world, and through the ages. I really enjoyed it.
