Following the announcement of its upcoming fashion exhibition featuring a line-up of world-class designers and labels, Blenheim Palace has revealed that from Saturday 23 March until Sunday 30 June each fashion house will be taking over a significant room in the UNESCO World Heritage site to create Icons of British Fashion.
Each room along the visitor route in the 300-year-old Palace will pay homage to a British fashion icon, starting in the Great Hall with designs on display by the late Dame Vivienne Westwood and creative partner Andreas Kronthaler.
Icons of British Fashion will continue through the Palace where visitors can marvel at the highly visual exhibition dramatically lit and displayed amongst the UNESCO World Heritage Site’s own priceless collections.
In addition to the creative curation by an array of legendary designers, Blenheim Palace will also be celebrating its own icon of fashion Sir Winston Churchill with a loan of one of the original Churchill Siren Suits from Turnbull & Asser, as well as a new take on the iconic boiler suit and a smoking cap designed by Steven Jones.
