New perspectives on how history is made

Archives of Queen's dressmaker Sir Hardy Amies to be opened

The archives of Sir Hardy Amies, who dressed the Queen for almost 40 years, are to be opened to the public to mark the 100th anniversary of his birth.

The exhibition will contain material including previously unseen photographs of the Royal Family, sketches, and letters from such clients as Baroness Thatcher and Sir Cecil Beaton, the photographer.

It will also contain unseen drawings of Princess Elizabeth in the year before she was crowned Queen, and sketches of his costumes for Stanley Kubrick's science-fiction film 2001.
