Textile artist Maria-Theresa Fernandes, has created 'A Dress of Sorrows' for the cabinet, inspired by her work with Asian community groups in East London. Other elements for the cabinet have been specially created by Kensington's community partners.

Community arts organisation Stitches in Time worked with three community groups to produce beautiful embroideries mapping out their journeys, artist Frances Kiernan worked with the Princes Drawing School to create a series of journey journals, celebrating journeys made by the children, both geographical and emotional. Finally, artist Laura Prideaux worked with girls from Kensington organisation Into University to make intricate dresses fashioned from maps drawn and created by the girls.

All of these extraordinary contemporary installations are exhibited alongside historic items from the Royal Collection and Kensington Palace's Royal Ceremonial Dress Collection, together with two beautiful dresses worn by Diana, Princess of Wales and Princess Margaret.
