Kylie's clothes


Yesterday Dazza and myself went to check out the Kylie's costumes exhibition at the V & A. With both of us being big fans from way back (we went to her showgirl concert a couple years back, and Dazza has some fine snaps) we thoroughly enjoyed it, trying to guess which video clip each costume came from. 3 things really struck me;

1. how tiny she is- Kylie, Madonna and myself are all the same height (1m52) but I always suspected she might be a little thinner but my God those clothes are like doll's clothes.


2. how flimsy the dresses are!! I know some of them have suffered the wear and tear of quick backstage costume changes and performances on tour but a lot of them looked like they would fall apart if you touched them, let alone wear them on stage in front of thousands!!

3. how does she walk, let alone dance, in those shoes?!

My favourite, for sheer glamour, is the blue feathers and corset costume from the Showgirl Tour. (see above)

Yes, that was one (or should I say 3)dress I remembered...uhh...vividly...from the video all those years ago.
