A date with Mr Valentino

This is not an official Brisamba outing, but I'm using the blog to invite anyone who wants to come along. Also, if you have any friends who are not samba people but would like to come, I'm happy for you to pass on an invitation.

The event: Visit the "Valentino" exhibition at Gallery of Modern Art, South Brisbane

The date: Saturday 9th October

The time: Meet outside GOMA at 11 am on the Saturday, see the exhibition, then have a late lunch at the riverside cafe at GOMA.

PLEASE NOTE: This is not a free event. There is an admission charge of $20 - or $16 if you have a concession.

Some further details (to paraphrase from the GOMA website):


"This exhibition explores the work of the celebrated Italian fashion house Valentino, known around the world for its sophisticated, timeless design and glamorous clientele.
The exhibition encompasses haute couture from the first collection designed in 1959 by the house’s founder, Valentino Garavani, through to work from the Autumn/Winter 2009–10 creations by Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli – appointed as creative directors for Valentino in 2008. Exquisite haute couture garments will reveal Valentino’s mastery of the elegant line, classic form and opulent detail. Particular themes will be explored uniting Valentino’s design approach over five decades."


I hope you can join me.
