Some of you may have visited 18 Stafford Terrace, just off Kensington High Street which is a perfectly preserved Victorian home. At the weekend, a tour is given by actor in full Victorian dress and character. For more information, see the link above. I went (for the fourth time!) on Sunday and was interested to see an additional exhibition. See below.
From 24 April to 13 June, Central Saint Martins will be residing at 18 Stafford Terrace to stage Fashionably Curious, a contemporary fashion exhibition within the historic house. Inspired by the curiosities and quirks of the Victorian era, and the current fascination of all things fantastical, this unique interior will play host to a display of contemporary dress.
The exhibition features the works of renowned Central Saint Martin alumni Alexander McQueen, Hussein Chalayan, Mary Katrantzou and Jonathan Saunders, as well as Stephen Jones and Gieves & Hawkes.
During the exhibition, tours will continue as normal on Wednesdays and the weekends. The format and content of the tours will remain the same, and a catalogue will be available to guide visitors through the exhibits on show within the historic house. There will also be an additional video introduction at the beginning of your visit.
