About this event

This exhibition celebrates the life of Lady Iliffe through fashion and design. From hosting glamorous society events and parties at Basildon Park to her work with the Red Cross throughout her life. The exhibition is inspired by a Vogue article published in July 1966 titled 'Lord and Lady Iliffe's triple entente', featuring Lady Iliffe herself. The exhibition features pieces ranging from Lady Iliffes wedding in 1938 through to the 1980's. There are elements of Lord Iliffe's life and style through tailoring and key pieces on loan. Some of the pieces are from the Basildon Park collection and others have been kindly loaned by the London Fashion and Textiles museum alongside Killerton, National Trust based in Devon.
