Basildon Park

We went to Basildon park with the family today. It was the last day of school holiday for granddaughter K. A display of Lady lliffe outfits they have borrowed them from Fashion and Textile Museum

Lady Iliffe featured in Vogue Magazine in 1966, with the mansion and its landscape as the backdrop to the stylised portraits. It is the spirit of these photos that have inspired the exhibition and the items on display.

Day and evening wear pieces designed by fashion houses including Dior, Valentino and Chanel will be displayed, bringing the house to life with the expressive fashions of the guests who stalked its elegant rooms.

We had a great time.
