Celebrating the Style of the Duchess of Devonshire: Erdem Exhibition at Chatsworth House

The latest exhibition at Chatsworth House pays tribute to the late Duchess of Devonshire, Deborah Cavendish, with a unique twist. The show, curated by British-Turkish designer Erdem Moralıoğlu, imagines a conversation between the Duchess and Erdem himself. The exhibition showcases items from the Duchess's wardrobe, including a tweed suit that reflects her love for chickens. The bottom of the suit is intentionally disheveled, as if it had been pecked at by her beloved Buff Cochins and Welsummers. Erdem's designs in the exhibition are inspired by the Duchess's style and the estate in Derbyshire where she lived. His spring/summer collection serves as a love letter to "Debo" and her iconic fashion choices. The exhibition offers a unique glimpse into the world of the Duchess of Devonshire, highlighting her passion for chickens and her eclectic style, which included a love for Elvis Presley. It is a fitting tribute to a remarkable woman who left a lasting impact on fashion and society.
