Jewellry And Accessories at The Victoria & Albert Museum

Famously curated by fashion photographer Cecil Beaton in 1971, an exhibition of 1,200 twentieth-century high fashion garments and accessories worn by some of the world most famous women was presented. Displaying garments worn by the likes of Audrey Hepburn, Lee Radizwell, and Gloria Guiness, the exhibition turned out to one quite well received by London society. Consequently, Beaton chose to donate the entire exhibition to the permanent holdings of V&A, providing the catalogue with some famous pieces of apparel.

Located south of Kensington Park down Exhibition Road, the V&A was actually found in 1852 during the reign of Queen Victoria and her husband, Prince Albert. Though the costume division wouldn't be open until 1913 - twelve years after the death of Britain's longest reigning monarch - it was born out a large donation by the department store, Harrods. Called Talbot Hughes collection and comprising no less than 1,442 different articles of clothing, the most prized item out of this holding is the wedding suit worn by James II in 1660.
