In turn, their sartorial decisions – alongside those of their royal husbands – projected power and perpetuity, diplomacy and defiance.As we will learn this evening, Justine Picardie’s research reveals the lives of the creators behind this public projection (including Hardy Amies, Cecil Beaton, Norman Hartnell and Edward Molyneux) to trace the ways in which visual iconography safeguarded the monarchy even when their reign seemed to be hanging by a thread.It’s going to be a fascinating evening – do come along if you can! https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/c9b5d8a0-0a2d-11f1-b6c3-c3694e9a4e40-rimg-w481-h740-dc191815-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/london/fashioning-the-crown-justine-picardie-at-hatchards-piccadilly/100001982032541687 - **Event Categories**: art, fine-arts - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 5, max: 10, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: London - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Hatchards - **lat**: 51.5084919 - **long**: -0.1380702 - **full address**: Hatchards, 187 Piccadilly, London, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Fashioning the Crown: Justine Picardie at Hatchards, Piccadilly - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/2355ef097a8de1d28dabacb014d12016b9f2710d891eb6d5bb6b962695d1b511-rimg-w1200-h598-dcfaf7f0-gmir.jpg?v=1771132746 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Fashioning the Crown: Justine Picardie at Hatchards, Piccadilly being held? - **A:** Fashioning the Crown: Justine Picardie at Hatchards, Piccadilly takes place on Thu, 16 Apr, 2026 at 06:30 pm to Thu, 16 Apr, 2026 at 08:00 pm at Hatchards, 187 Piccadilly, London, United Kingdom. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for Fashioning the Crown: Justine Picardie at Hatchards, Piccadilly? - **A:** Ticket prices for Fashioning the Crown: Justine Picardie at Hatchards, Piccadilly range from GBP 5 to GBP 10 depending on the ticket type.
