the Chapel Royal, boy choristers who hold the Sovereign s choral scholarships at the City of London School, and wear Gold and Scarlet State Coats, still tailored to the Royal Warrant of 1661.At St James s Palace, the Chapel Royal choir sings on Sundays weekly in the Chapel Royal or The Queen s Chapel facing Marlborough Road, and at other events elsewhere as commanded by The Queen.These include the annual Royal Maundy service, the Remembrance Sunday Parade at the Cenotaph in Whitehall, and, in recent years, the wedding of Prince William to Catherine Middleton at Westminster Abbey, in addition to the Golden and Diamond Jubilee Services at St Paul s Cathedral.Choirs of other Chapels Royal under the authority of The Dean of the Chapel Royal, whose Ordinary is The Queen, continue to operate simultaneously at the Tower of London and Hampton Court Palace.The Queen’s GuardThe St James’s Palace detachment of The Queen’s Guard has turned out today in Colour Court for The Queen’s

late-1940s Dior jacket in the rafters of a darkened storage room.and that dates back to 1930.The hot pink prom dresses beaded satin dress remains her favourite find, unearthed in the bottom of a cupboard and shoved inside a metal file drawer.Cue the angelic voices: it is by Lanvin.Mida rediscovered these treasures in Ryerson University’s fashion research collection, originally founded in 1981 but eventually abandoned where it sat, for a few dusty years, in a room of the campus library.The locked room and its contents languished until Mida, then a graduate student, took on the daunting full-time project of sifting, sorting and cataloguing the nearly 7,000 pieces and narrowing the collection’s focus to a more relevant and manageable 3,000.Two years later, the collection resides behind a new door, only sometimes locked.Beyond it, in a subterranean suite of rooms on Ryerson’s downtown Toronto campus, the newly curated fashion research collection is available to students in the Fashion program for the first time this fall.The major fashion study programs in North America keep similar collections (Seneca s Fashion Arts teaching collection, for example, has about 15,000 Canadian-worn pieces), putting vintage clothes in students’ hands as examples of trend cycles and simply how things were made, inside and out.I don’t think students engage with real objects that much.Actually handling beautifully made garments is a foreign experience to most of them.The Internet does have its uses, however: a new blog, Pinterest pages and website encourage Ryerson’s fashion program students and alumni to come research and interact with the clothes.as both complement and antidote to the intangibles of modern, digital design.the collection occupies the former photography

dormant in 2009.There’s also a couture Pierre Cardin gown from the 1970s.unless it’s a historic item.Pre-1930, that’s a different story because lab
