A happy face foam "cloud" floats past the dome of St Paul’s Cathedral in the City of London as part of an art display by Stuart Semple.

I had been looking at some clips of Dolores del Rio when I read this article. This caught my attention:

"Silhouettes that contrast volume against body consciousness are important. The moment calls for silky blouses, skirts and dresses that balloon away from the Body and then are gathered back in at the waist, low hip or neck with smocking."
