"... fashion journalist Claudia Joseph opens the door to the
world's most coveted closet." - Elle "Diana: A Life in Dresses
chronicles Princess Diana's sartorial evolution from her early
shopping days at Harrods to working with world-renowned designers
like Catherine Walker." - Harpers Bazaar "This stylish survey
traces Di's evolution from unsophisticated debutante to fashion
icon, telling the stories behind her most famous, and infamous,
dresses." - New York Post 'I literally had one long dress, one silk
shirt, one smart pair of shoes and that was it' - so Princess Diana
said of the day she and Prince Charles got engaged. Sixteen years
later, Diana would die, no longer the girl with one dress, but a
global fashion icon who had raised more than GBP2 million for
charity by selling 79 of her dresses at Christie's auction house in
New York. This chic and stylish book opens Diana's wardrobe to the
world. From the Regamus debutante's dress Diana wore at a ball at
Althorp, her family estate, to her infamous Christina Stambolian
'Revenge' dress, which she wore on the night Prince Charles
publicly admitted his adultery with Camilla Parker Bowles, each
iconic moment is captured in these pages. Claudia Joseph chronicles
Diana's style evolution from the days she shopped with her mother
for her wedding trousseau at Harrods, to her discovery of her
wedding dress designers, the Emanuels, and her relationship with
Vogue fashion director Anna Harvey, who introduced her to designers
such as Catherine Walker, Jacques Azagury and Versace. She looks at
the designers who shaped Diana's image and tracks down her most
symbolic dresses to museums around the world.
