British designers Erdem Moralioglu, Richard Quinn and Christopher Kane will all contribute pieces to the largest ever exhibition of Queen Elizabeth II’s fashion, it has been announced.
The landmark royal exhibition will be staged at Buckingham Palace in 2026 to mark the centenary of the late monarch’s birth.
It was previously announced that Queen Elizabeth II: Her Life In Style, at The King’s Gallery, will feature approximately 200 items – around half on display for the first time.
Also on display will be pieces by Moralioglu – the designer behind his eponymous London-based fashion label Erdem – as well as Quinn and Kane, which were inspired by the late Queen and featured in past collections.
They will be shown alongside a related item from the late Queen’s fashion archive, to show how she influenced the creations.
The three designers will also contribute their reflections on her fashion legacy to the official centenary publication, Queen Elizabeth II: Fashion And Style.
The book, which will explore the late Queen’s fashion archive in great detail, will feature a tribute by Dame Anna Wintour, the former editor and current global editorial director of US Vogue.
Moralioglu said: “The wardrobe of Her late Majesty is a snapshot of a very long life, a life of duty, and in so many ways it’s a time capsule. It captures a very specific and important moment in history.”
Quinn was the winner of the inaugural Queen Elizabeth II Award for British Design, and the late Queen attended his catwalk show at London Fashion Week in 2018.
