Fashion Design Workshops and the Queen’s Dress

In 2022 Shine Saturday School students collaborated with visual artist and fashion designer Kyla Broad to create a special gift for Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee.

Eleven students participated in five fashion design workshops, learning sketching, tailoring and modelling while designing patterns and line-ups for the Queen’s dress and their own garments.

The silk ball gown features prints of students’ values and affirmations, such as love, peace and kindness. It was displayed at Elys Wimbledon during the Jubilee weekend, Canons House on the 18th June 2022 and the Wimbledon Tennis Museum after the Championships before being sent to Buckingham Palace.
