Iconic fashion designers and brands including the late Dame Vivienne Westwood, Stella McCartney and Christian Dior have collaborated with Blenheim Palace for the largest exhibition in the heritage destination’s 300-year history.
Called Icons of British Fashion, visitors can explore designs and displays from some of the leading names in fashion, with the displays curated amongst Blenheim Palace’s own priceless collections.
“Blenheim Palace has played a significant role in the UK’s fashion industry: it has hosted fashion shows; photoshoots; and many designers have been guests of the family over the years,” said Dominic Hare, chief executive of Blenheim Palace.
“Christian Dior hosted two shows here in 1954 and 1958 in aid of the Red Cross, and then returned in 2016 for their Cruise Collection. Cecil Beaton has also done shoots with the family, and we have been the location of many brand campaigns over the years. We have a rich fashion history and this exhibition should help cement our legacy in this fascinating industry.”
The exhibition opened on March 23 and runs through to 30 June.
