Fashion is Political – the Legacy of Georgian Power Dressing

From Beyoncé to Billie Eilish, fashion is undeniably personal and political. But the legacy of harnessing fashion as a tool for power and representation goes back to the 18th century and beyond. In this episode Curators Matthew Story, Polly Putnam and Claudia Acott-Williams celebrate the joy of fashion as a symbol of identity at the Georgian Court, and its importance on the Red Carpet today.   This is the second episode in a series where we’re celebrating fashion, identity and the opening of our new exhibition at Kensington Palace called Crown to Couture.  For tickets to Crown to Couture at Kensington Palace go to:  https://www.hrp.org.uk/kensington-palace/whats-on/crown-to-couture/
