Beauty in Black @ National Museum of Singapore

Visited the Beauty in Black exhibition a couple of weeks back as one of my Friday activities of the day. We were greeted by 18 different black dresses hanging from the ceiling as we entered the quiet, and seemingly mournful room. The dresses date from 1950s to 2000s by world renowned designers, Karl Lagerfeld to Cristobal Balenciaga as well as our very own hone-grown designers, Benny Ong and Thomas Wee. Quite ironically, I wore a Little White Dress, but no one except the security guard was there to critique me. It was surprisingly quiet for a Friday evening, which allowed us to get up close and personal with the dresses and slowly mull over the quotes and history behind the Little Black Dress(es). Go visit these history-infused dresses from now till the 13th of June. The exhibition is open daily from 10am to 8pm.
