Opening at Kensington Palace this summer in the newly-conserved Orangery, this temporary exhibition includes Princess Diana's iconic wedding dress and explores the intimate relationship between fashion designer and royal client, and is offered on an exclusive hire basis for client receptions.
The Royal Style in the Making exhibition at Kensington Palace reveals the process behind the creation of a number of the most important couture commissions in royal history.
On display will be the wedding dress of Diana, Princess of Wales, on show for the first time at Kensington Palace in 25 years, in addition to a rare, surviving toile for the 1937 coronation gown of Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother; consort of King George VI.
The display also features never-before-seen items from the archives of some of the most celebrated royal couturiers of the 20th century, set alongside examples of the glittering gowns and stylish tailoring created for three generations of royal women. There will also be some surprises for fashion fans.
This exhibition is available for exclusive hire and group viewings and is presented in partnership with the House of Garrard and generously supported by the Blavatnik Family Foundation.
