An enchanting fashion experience

Just been to the most amazing exhibition in Kensington Palace called 'Enchanted'. Inside you're given a quest to find the princesses who have lived in the palace by guessing their identity through the installations in each room. Each room is filled with designs from artists such as Vivienne Westwood and Stephen Jones millinery. This is a must for any fashion, art and history lover! Read the Independent review

It was a great exhibition. I am still thinking about it now and would like to go back.

MILLINERY QUOTES:

"A hat is a flag, a shield, a bit of armour, and the badge of femininity. A hat is the difference between wearing clothes and wearing a costume; it's the difference between being dressed and being dressed up; it's the difference between looking adequate and looking your best. A hat is to be stylish in, to glow under, to flirt beneath, to make all others feel jealous over, and to make all men feel masculine about. A piece of magic is a hat". M. Sliter

"The hat is not for the street: it will never be democratized. But there are certain houses that one cannot enter without a hat. And one must always wear a hat when lunching with people whom one does not know well. One appears to one's best advantage." Coco Chanel

"When I am an old woman I shall wear purple, With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me. And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves, And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter." Jenny Joseph

"The hat I was married in, will it do? White, broad, fake flowers in a tiny array. It's old-fashioned, as stylish as a bedbug, but it suits to die in something nostalgic." Anne Sexton
