Exhibition generously supported by the Blavatnik Family Foundation and Avis Charles Associates. A host of never-before-seen royal fashion treasures are set to go on show at Kensington Palace as part of a new exhibition, Dress Codes, due to open in March 2025. Showcasing both instantly recognisable and rarely seen highlights from the Royal Ceremonial Dress Collection, the display will explore the codes and conventions of royal clothing, and the powerful impact fashion can make when boundaries are pushed and dress codes evolve.
