Should you happen to find yourself in my current country of residence (that's the UK) in the near future, take a trip up North to Liverpool to see the 'Dare to Wear' exhibition by former fashion designer Diana Dias-Leao at the Walker gallery.Dias-Leao gave up fashion design at the age of 60 to concentrate on glass making. The end result is a collection merging both fashion and glassware, consisting of 14 glass dresses and two corsets made from barbed wire, each taking three weeks to make. The exhibition runs from 27th March 2010 until 30th September 2011.
