Sailor love

Just another reason for a weekend in Paris.... the Musee de la Marine in Paris is holding an amazing-looking exhibition on how naval uniforms have inspired fashion over the years, from portrayals of wholesome American sailors to homo-erotic fantasies of Jean-Paul Gaultier.

The museum is being quite modern in its promotion of the exhibition - note the exhibition's own blog, with interesting tid-bits of information and some gorgeous images from sailor fashion and the exhibition.

I love how fashion history is taught at French schools!
