The Enchanted Palace

Thought Kensington Palace was just for tourists? Think again, as this month the Palace undergoes a spectacular transformation, with the help of fashion designers Vivienne Westwood, Zandra Rhodes and Boudicca, who have created stunning installations with a fairytale theme. The collection of historic dresses held in the Palace has long been an inspiration to designers such as Westwood, who has drawn on the idea of opulence and aristocracy in many of her designs.

The installations will combine contemporary fashion with ceremonial dress to bring the stories of the people who once lived in the palace to life, creating a magical, never-seen-before experience. For anyone looking for some inspiration, or simply a chance to step into a fairytale, complete with one-off fashion creations and striking visual displays, the Enchanted Palace is definitely worth a visit.

Why not dress the part by channelling Kirsten Dunst in Marie Antoinette?
