College London College of Fashion Course MA Fashion Curation and Cultural Programming Graduation year 2025 This exhibition proposal was developed from my research into the medieval-revival movement in 1920s Britain. It centres around the ‘wedding dress’, designed by British Couturier Norman Hartnell and worn by the socialite Daisy Bendix for the Dream of Fair Women Ball’s parade of past, present, and future fashions in 1928. The ball itself was inspired by Alfred Tennyson’s poem A Dream of Fair Women (originally published in 1833), which conjured up a romanticised version of the past. Although its design reflects the style of medieval dress, Daisy’s dress was featured as part of the ‘present’ parade, highlighting the complex and antilinear nature of fashion. This exhibition takes the themes of time, spectacle, and performance, and creates an artificial dreamscape, which visitors can experience and then reflect/respond through community-based and online workshops: facilitated by the Crafts Council where the exhibition is based. This community engagement aims to extend the history of the dress beyond something designed by Hartnell, worn by Daisy, and acquired by the London Museum, opening up the floor for new perspectives and interpretations to be heard.
