Whoever is in London Until February 2018, you can’t miss visiting the iconic exhibition of Princess Diana’s dresses. Named by ”Diana: Her Fashion Story’’the exhibition occupies three halls of the Kensington Palace, the royal residence in London and where the princess lived for 15 years. It’s worth planning your day and taking the opportunity to stroll through the park and the beautiful gardens of the Kensington Gardens.
Exhibition of Princess Diana’s dresses
The collection features 25 dresses that explore the evolution of the princess’s style, which transformed the royal family’s dress codes and became an icon of moda. From her first appearances, with more romantic outfits, to her last days of life, with lots of glamor and elegance.
The iconic looks tell the story of the princess’s short but intense life. The pieces go through exactly the phase that Diana was in, from young and shy, to a powerful woman. The exhibition features outfits designed by the princess’s favorite designers, such as David Emanuel, Versace, David Sasson and Catherine Walker.
Diana was the most photographed woman in the world during the 80s and 90s – and it was no coincidence! Those in love with moda and fans of the princess will be enchanted by the exhibition of Princess Diana’s dresses. We found iconic pieces like the velvet dress she wore to a dinner at the White House in 1985, in which she ended the night dancing with John Travolta and the bikinis she loved to wear during her summer seasons in France.
Gardens and Shop
The Palace gardens, called The Sunken Garden, also pay homage to the princess, with beds of white flowers. The princess loved to enjoy the changing flowers and talk to the gardeners.
As in most museums, there is a small shop with souvenirs and little gifts inspired by the royal residence, the Kensington Palace Shop.
