The very last ostrich feather fans of the Kevin Darby Costumes


This probably seems as an unusual photo for my blog, but there is a rather interesting story behind it. Mr. Kevin Darbin, a creator of costumes for many shows in the UK and abroad, was a regular guest of Grand Hotel Toplice. His partner Mr. Michael Grensted, featured in the middle of the photo wanted to bring to Bled the very last ostrich feather fans from the Kevin Darby Costumes Collection, that closed down after Mr. Darby’s death a few years ago. Mrs. Wane and I were very honored by his wonderful gift that he gave us.

Thank you Mr. Grensted. It is a privilege to have something so beautiful to be brought to me from so far with such a noble purpose. Mrs. Wane had a wonderful birthday surprise as well.
