Minogue inspires museum exhibition

Australian soap star-turned pop sensation Kylie Minogue has been honoured at one of Britain's most prestigious museums - with an exhibition devoted entirely to her career.

London's Victoria and Albert Museum will open the exhibition in February, which centres on the way Minogue has used fashion to mould the public's perception of her.

A museum spokeswoman says, "This is our first exhibition dedicated to a pop star.

"We felt it was great to launch it because the V and A is a museum of fashion and design. It is interesting to see how she has crafted her image using her wardrobe."
