With spring bursting into life around us, we’re kicking off this edition by celebrating a new generation of creative talent.

 

Over the past year, a small group of our young people at Nova, alongside participants from City Lions and Harrow Club, have been on an incredible journey as part of the Young Producers Programme in partnership with Historic Royal Palaces. They have played a leading role in designing every aspect of Dress Codes—a groundbreaking, collaborative fashion exhibition at Kensington Palace.

 

Working with top industry experts, they have been inspired by iconic royal classics to create stunning dresses, interactive quizzes, short films, original music and more. Their hard work culminated in an exclusive fashion show at Kensington Palace on 18th February, where they wowed an audience of fashion industry leaders, cultural influencers and proud families.

 

We’ll be sharing more about our Young Producers and their achievements soon, but in the meantime, you can experience their creativity up close and firsthand! The Dress Codes exhibition is now open to the public, included in standard admission to Kensington Palace. Don’t miss the chance to be inspired by the incredible work of Nova’s Young Producers!
