New for 2010
- A new unique exhibition combining fashion, performance, and dazzling spectacle reveals Kensington’s magnificent State Apartments in a magical new light.
The acclaimed UK theatre company WILDWORKS casted a spell over the palace, creating a mysterious and atmospheric world for visitors to explore. Against the backdrop of the King’s and Queen’s apartments, leading fashion designers Vivienne Westwood, William Tempest, Stephen Jones, Boudicca, Aminaka Wilmont and illustrator/set designer Echo Morgan have created spectacular installations, inspired by the stories of the princesses who once lived at Kensington – Mary, Anne, Caroline, Charlotte, Victoria, Margaret and Diana. These extraordinary contemporary designs are displayed alongside historic items from the Royal Collection and Kensington Palace’s Royal Ceremonial Dress Collection, together with two dresses worn by Diana, Princess of Wales and Princess Margaret.
