Academic dress of King's College London : ウィキペディア英語版 | Academic dress of King's College London
Academic dress of King's College London describes the robes, gowns, and hoods worn by undergraduates, graduates and associates of King's College London. After being vested the power to award its own degrees from the University of London in 2006,〔http://www.kcl.ac.uk/aboutkings/governance/about/index.aspx〕 graduates began wearing King's College London academic dress in 2008. ==History==
Prior to 2008, the Academic dress of King's is basically that of the University of London's which, like most academic dress, is based on medieval attire. Graduates of the University of London have been formally presented to the Chancellor of the University since 1849, and the first public presentation of the University was held at King's Great Hall in 1850.〔http://www.kcl.ac.uk/campuslife/services/grad/ceremonies/afterceremony/KGRADBarbicanGradProgJul2015FORWEB.pdf〕 From 1903 to 1992 this University ceremony was continued in the Royal Albert Hall, and King's first held its own ceremony in 1989.〔http://www.kcl.ac.uk/campuslife/services/grad/ceremonies/afterceremony/KGRADBarbicanGradProgJul2015FORWEB.pdf〕 In 1995, the University of London granted some of its constituent colleges the power to confer degrees on behalf of the University.〔http://www.kcl.ac.uk/campuslife/services/grad/ceremonies/afterceremony/KGRADBarbicanGradProgJul2015FORWEB.pdf〕 In 2007, in line with the evolution of the University's constituent colleges, King's successfully petitioned the Privy Council for its degree-awarding powers in its own right; these powers were first used in 2008.〔http://www.kcl.ac.uk/campuslife/services/grad/ceremonies/afterceremony/KGRADBarbicanGradProgJul2015FORWEB.pdf〕 Such development in securing its own degree-awarding powers brought the need for King's to design its own academic dress. During the transition phase, global fashion icon Dame Vivienne Westwood was approached by Patricia Rawlings, Baroness Rawlings, then Chairperson of King's College London, to design an academic gown of the institution.〔http://www.kcl.ac.uk/newsevents/publications/comment-archive/pdfs/2008/comment-183.pdf〕 Working with Ede & Ravenscroft, the producers of the academic dress, the Westwood-designed academic dresses for King's College London have been unveiled in 2008. On the gowns, Vivienne Westwood commented: "Through my reworking of the traditional robe I tried to link the past, the present and the future. We are what we know."〔http://www.kcl.ac.uk/newsevents/publications/comment-archive/pdfs/2008/comment-183.pdf〕 The 'new' academic gowns were showcased at the first graduation of summer 2008, where Dame Westwood and former Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, Lord Smith were among those wearing the gowns as they received their King's College London Honorary Fellowships.〔http://www.kcl.ac.uk/newsevents/publications/comment-archive/pdfs/2008/comment-183.pdf〕
