Fashion designer William Tempest describes the influences and inspirations behind his installation for the Enchanted Palace experience at Kensington Palace. Comprising a swarm of 1,000 origami birds, the Dress for Dreaming of Freedom is an avant garde interpretation of a period dress and William's response to the story of Queen Victoria's unhappy childhood spent in the palace.
