There were two main reasons for choosing Scotland as my holiday destination earlier this month. One was the fact that I enjoyed my visit 13 years ago very much and really wanted to go back. The other one was the small exhibition “A Royal Wedding: The Duke and Duchess of Sussex” at the Palace of […]

Having enjoyed the wedding of Princess Eugenie of York and Jack Brooksbank on TV/Internet last year, I was glad to see their wedding exhibition at Windsor Castle lately. Unfortunately the exhibition can only be seen at Windsor between 1 March and 22 April 2019 and will not be shown at any of the other palaces. […]
In the past few years I have enjoyed several amazing exhibitions about fashion designers. If you had told me years ago, I would have had a good laugh, as I’ve never been very much interested in the subject. That changed however through my work and the wonderful blogs about royal fashion that have been created […]
The year 2019 hasn’t started to well for a few fellow bloggers that I value very much for their hard work to identify designers for the clothing of many royals. UFO No More is a great blog, their post “How Much Is It Worth?” for 2018 however highly criticized and this time not only by […]
If you have any time left in the coming week and are interested in (royal) fashion don’t hesitate visiting the exhibition “Jan Taminiau. Reflections” at the Centraal Museum in Utrecht. The exhibition will be open until 26 August 2018 and even will open extra in the evening of 23 August. The best is to buy […]
The Dutch fashion designer Jan Taminiau at the moment has his own exhibition at the Centraal Museum in Utrecht, The Netherlands. “Jan Taminiau. Reflections” has unfortunately already almost come to an end, running from 21 April 2018 to 26 August 2018. After some terribly warm weeks I finally made it to Utrecht last weekend. Among […]
It was an interesting reunion with a dress I did see for the last time in April 2004. I remember vividly that only days before the wedding of Prince Friso of the Netherlands and Mabel Wisse Smit on 24 April 2004 in Delft, The Netherlands, the magazine “Story” managed to publish a drawing of a […]
At the moment both the Dutch designer Jan Taminiau and the designer duo Viktor&Rolf have their own exhibition in the Netherlands – both also with a royal touch. Both exhibitions seem to be a must for anybody who loves fashion and royalty. Anyway I did make it to the exhibition “Viktor&Rolf: Fashion Artists 25 Years” […]
(Nederlands and English) Koningin Máxima der Nederland mag dan op de cover staan, maar dat betekent niet dat haar mode het enige thema in het boek is. In haar nieuwste boek “De Nieuwe Mode van Oranje” neemt Els Smit de lezer mee op een reis door de modewereld van de leden van de Nederlandse koninklijke […]
Colourful, timesless and elegant, that is how you could describe the designs of Frans Hoogendoorn. Probably not the best known (at least internationally) of the designers of the Dutch royal family, but parallel to the exhibition about Steltman Jewelry he has his own tribute exhibition at the Gemeentemuseum in The Hague. “Frans Hoogendoorn. Een Haags […]
