This forthcoming exhibition is a collaboration between the Kensington Palace and the Collect-ive final year Fashion History and Theory students [my course mates] from Central Saint Martins. It aims to show the Royal fashions from the past; drawing attention and making a distinct parallel to its relevance in these modern times: from the catwalk, the street, films, to the glossies, music videos, celebrities and beyond.
Fashion History and Theory is a BA fashion pathway at Central Saint Martins. It ultimately recognises fashion as an academic subject of scrutiny. Since its launch in 2001, final year students from this course have successfully developed exhibitions from London museums, including the Princess Line (2007) at Kensington Palace, Sailor Chic (2006) at the National Maritime Museum and the recent Fashion in the Palm of your Hand (2008) at the Fan Museum, the 2008-2009.
The exhibition will showcase the Palace’s Royal Dress Collection conceding pieces worn by members of the Royal family, officials, dignitaries, and court dress, dating from the 18th to 20th century. It will also display cutting-edge fashion that has been deeply inspired by royal ceremonial dress.
