Kensington Palace is being transformed. As the walls of the palace are being shaken by a £12 million renovation project the rubble and the dust is unleashing powerful and secret stories about the lives of Kensington’s princesses.
At the heart of the Enchanted Palace journey is a quest for the seven princesses who once lived here. Their lives have been re-imagined as installations offering a fascinating interpretation of the palace’s hidden stories. The rebellious princess who ran from an arranged marriage into the arms of love. Sad queens who bore the pain and sadness of lost babies. The young heir to the throne who escaped the controlling grasp of her overprotective mother.
Visitors must use their eyes and ears to find clues that reveal the identity of the elusive royal residents. Guided by an enchanted map, the advice of obliging palace guardians and a few helping hands, their search will take them to all the hidden corners of the State Apartments and lead them to a glittering finale where they will at last meet the princesses face to face.
Bringing the Enchanted Palace to life are the palace guardians, our expert front of house team and professional actors, who provide a personal insight into the strange world of the palace.The Enchanted Palace reveals the emotion and drama running through Kensington Palace’s history.Contemporary fashion collides with the Royal Ceremonial Dress Collection and real stories from the palace to create stunning installations, fashioned by world famous designers including Vivienne Westwood, William Tempest, Stephen Jones, Boudicca, Aminaka Wilmont and Echo Morgan.

Polaroid…. during the second half of the 20th century the name was synonymous with innovation in photography, and other domains besides (Who does not, or has not, owned a pair of Polaroid sunglasses?). Moreover, the Polaroid Corporation was innovative in ways beyond the impressive range of their products: realizing that artists would invent new ‘applications’ if encouraged to use Polaroid cameras and films, the company was generous with both. Many photographers accepted Polaroid’s offer, experimenting with varying degrees of success, on the condition that the company received prints in exchange (rights of reproduction, it was made clear, would remain with the photographers).
Polaroid’s great attraction was its instantaneity (though not as truly instant as today’s digital processes), and amateurs and professionals alike took joy in clicking the shutter

“Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.”- Coco Chanel
Artistic representation of fashion has existed since the dawn of civilization. From the statues of Mesopotamia, the walls of Egyptian pyramids, the master paintings of the Renaissance, the cover of Vogue’s first issue in 1892, and through today, artists have continued to carefully document fashion of the period. Gallery Nucleus is therefore proud to present our first fashion illustration exhibition.
We are privileged to have an international roster featuring established as well as emerging contemporary fashion illustrators. Exhibiting artists working in a variety of mediums from paint, watercolor, ink, textiles and digital media. These artists have worked with designers such as Dior, Jean-Paul Gualtier, and Marc Jacobs just to name a few. They have graced the pages of publications including, Vogue, Cosmopolitan, Elle, Nylon and many more. We are pleased to showcase the ever expanding world of fashion illustration that represents the latest trends of our time and captivates the greatest styles that will last forever.
