Imaginary Conversations : An Erdem Collection Inspired By Dowager Duchess Deborah

A new exhibition at Chatsworth which I'm pleased to say I helped with in a tiny way, and I mean teeny tiny.
The gorgeous pink confection of a dress and the Elvis slippers were actually owned and worn by Debo. A huge fan of Elvis, she sadly didn't get to meet him.

      If you were at the exhibition you would hear Elvis singing, 'you were always on my mind'. The collection was launched at the British Museum and there is a film of it playing behind the outfits. Wonderful stuff.
