10.08.2011 Enchanted Palace


On my recent day trip to London I took time out from galleries to visit Kensington Palace. After reading online about the installations included in the ‘Enchanted Palace’ experience I decided that it would be worth a visit. The Palace’s art and fashion installation is aimed mainly at getting people interested in the history of the building, with an interactive plot to magically involve people in discovering the princesses and their stories. Featuring light installations by artist Chris Levine, whose previously worked with Mario Testino and intriguing treasures from the sea-borne collection by Jane Darke. 

 











The Enchanted Palace reveals the emotion and drama running through Kensington Palace’s history. Contemporary fashion collides with the Royal Ceremonial Dress Collection and real stories from the palace to create stunning installations, fashioned by leading designers, including Bruce Oldfield and Dame Vivienne Westwood.  

I really enjoyed the experience and recommend it to anyone, it’s magical and inspiring.
