Design Quest
September 2010 - July 2011
Need a fashion fix? Fashion design fused with Kensington Palace history to inspire students in a new creative project for pupils in Year 7 and 8.
Students will explore the ‘Enchanted Palace’ exhibition and be able to see selected garments from the Royal Ceremonial Dress Collection which are not on show to the public. Pupils will be able to work alongside the Historic Royal Palaces education team at Kensington Palace and arts practitioners who will help and inspire your students as they create their own fashion designs. The project will run over the course of a term in the coming academic year.
