Museum to Host Kylie Minogue's Hot Pants

From the AFP:

LONDON - A leading London museum is to host an exhibition of outfits worn by Kylie Minogue, charting her rise from soap opera actress to multi-million selling pop princess, a spokeswoman said.

The Australian singer will be the subject of a show at the Victoria and Albert Museum featuring around 200 of her outfits, photographs and accessories which starts next February.

The golden hotpants she wore in the video for the 2000 hit "Spinning Around" and the overalls she wore to play Charlene Mitchell in "Neighbours", the soap which made her name, will both feature.

Visitors will also be able to see outfits made for her by designers including Dolce and Gabbana, Julien Macdonald and Manolo Blahnik.

The show, which features many objects donated by Minogue, was originally staged at the Melbourne Arts Centre before touring Australia.

Now it comes to Britain, where it will also take in Manchester in northwest England and Glasgow.

Minogue is due to restart her Showgirl world tour in Australia next month after being treated for breast cancer.

The exhibition runs from February 8 to June 10, 2007.
