Smell: Fashion V Sport at the V and A

I really didn't like Fashion V Sport at the V and A.  I didn't like the way it was exhibited, nor the patterns, shapes, fabrics, colours, lighting or display of the exhibition.  

Two of the exhibits weren't working when I went, which I suppose as the exhibition finishes on 4 Jan is fair enough. 

The first one not working was "Please touch the wall to activate the smell" - I think you were meant to be able to smell BO.  The second one not to work said "Please walk over the floor to activate the smell" and I think you were meant to smell something musty but it had obviously worn off.
It was meant to be clever and witty...
