Two years ago when I moved to London, I lived close to Chelsea and South Kensington, two hot spots of what this city has best to offer – in a number of ways. Walking down the streets in South Ken, I passed by houses inhabited by some of the London personalities of the past and started thinking about what this past felt and looked like on a daily basis. Last week @V_and_A I got a wider glimpse of this past by visiting an exhibition on the British fashion of the 18th and 19th centuries. Here are some of the outfits on display.
