A trip to the museum

The Fashion and Textiles museum was our research for the presentation. Me, Alina and Evija , well, none of us know about this museum. So on a very beautiful sunny day , we decided to visit the museum. As we walk along the street and then suddenly, a beautiful hot pink, bright orange got our attention. We knew straight away that was the Fashion and Textiles Museum. The building was designed by the famous Mexican architect Ricardo Legorreta. His use of bright color such as hot pink, bright blue , yellow and orange is the reason why i love his work. Here are some of his works :

Children's museum of science in Fort Worth

The most recent exhibition was POP! Design - Culture- Fashion. It reflects how a new wave of rock -n -roll and youth culture from America swept the country and the world in the 1950s. 

 As we walked into the museum, we were taken back to the 50s and 60s . There were pop music from the East Coast DooWop and Twiggy , there were clothing from the 60s with the famous culottes , box-shaped PVC dresses and go-go boots, which were very popular back then. 



The 60s and 70s hair styles.
 C'est Chic! 
                       Also my new hair cute was inspire from this fabulous era

      


However , from the 70s , there was a new development of not only music , but style as well. The Punk Era! There are the poodle si-kirts and embellished leathers of the rockers like the Sex pistols and the Rolling Stones. Also, This exhibition will take in the cool styling of the Mods , the high baroque of the Psyche delis and the kitsch glamour of 70s retro by designers such as Mr Freedom and Miss Mouse. We were overwhelming  by  these wonderful collection.

Not only us but others people from around the world who came to the museum find it truly inspirational. Some of their true emotion were written down in the comment book of the museum. It was a very pleasant experience.
