00:03This dress was worn by Princess Diana on the 29th of June 1994, it's the night where she knew Prince
00:12Charles will admit publicly that he had an affair, so she decided to go to that night at the Serpentine
00:19Gallery wearing something extremely special which will make her feel confident, empowered, so this is the time that she used,
00:27the first time she used fashion as a way of communicating.
00:30of communicating her feelings and decided to wear that dress on that night.
00:36Diana was an extremely important and popular figure of her time but she stays very important today for different reasons,
00:48probably for her actions, for her ways of communication, for what she embodied, her values, they are still very authentic
00:56and very important to the new generation.
00:59She still has this place in everybody's heart, so it's still extremely important because of the message it conveys.
01:07It's a universal message, it says that you can, with what you wear and how you, without even saying a
01:14word, you can stand up for yourself, you can take back the narrative and you can decide to own the
01:21story even in moments where you're very fragile and you could have scrambled.
01:25What also is extremely exciting when you see such a piece in real life is that you can, if you
01:32go closer, you can see the level of details, you can see the beauty of the piece and this is
01:38something that you can only experience with your eyes and this is why we really encourage people to come and
01:43see it in our galleries in London until September 24th.
01:46Thank you very much.
