If, like me, you prefer a gentler and perhaps less commercialised Christmas shopping and festive break experience than the mayhem of Oxford Circus, Bond Street and Piccadilly, Kensington might just be the ticket.
It's the 30th anniversary of the British Fashion Council's NEWGEN programme - and this exhibition is a tribute to that. There are nearly 100 fashion looks including the swan dress worn by Björk at the 2001 Oscars - and there's also a section where you can see yourself as a NEWGEN model...
Elsewhere in the Design Museum, you might find yourself reminiscing about the Walkman or the Olivetti Typewriter - it's a place that is full of past and present design heroes. Or, finally understanding the difference between stone and brick construction - and as one of the guides said - spotting techniques we've used for hundreds of years to improve insulation and make our homes more energy efficient.
