About this tour

Duration: 3 Hours

Get Up Close & Personal with your favourite garment.

Each piece on exhibition in the Museum of Style Icons is the original. Whether it’s Princess Diana’s notorious ‘Revenge Dress’, the dress Audrey Hepburn wore in the movie ‘Funny Face’, or The Beatles’ ‘Mop Top’ suits, each garment is the real McCoy.

If you are looking for a unique experience and VIP access to a garment from one of the museum of styles icon’s exhibits, you can book an Up Close & Personal experience.

Museum personnel will meet you at the greeting desk, take you on a tour of our factory and the museum of style icons before escorting you to the viewing area. Here they will remove the garment you have selected from its glass case and place it in a private viewing area. Please note, you will be provided with special gloves which must be at all times during the experience.

Afterwards, enjoy a glass of prosecco and afternoon tea as you sit back and imagine yourself back in the time and place that made the garment famous. Who is with you? Marilyn? Elvis? Princess Grace? Angelina Jolie?

Please note: Our team will contact you after booking to discuss choice of dress/garment.
