The space will be designed and styled to evoke the excitement of preparing for a ball in a grand country house. The display will include film as well as contextual images and accessories such as elegant evening bags, gloves and shoes.
Ballgowns will continue from the ground floor onto the mezzanine, taking full advantage of the newly lit and restored Octagon Court, one of the most architecturally dramatic of the V&A's galleries.
Contemporary opulence
The mezzanine level will feature a stylised 'ballroom' space, with around 30 evening gowns designed by contemporary UK-based makers on open display. It will evoke the glamour of the red carpet or a couture presentation.
The gowns will stand under dramatic pavilions surrounded by oversized pearls. This display will show how ballgowns continue to be the ultimate fashion statement for contemporary designers, and will include unexpected interpretations such as a latex gown by Atsuko Kudo.
