Exquisite and sumptuous, immaculately tailored, dignified and,
above all, practical. The wardrobe of Queen Elizabeth II was as
distinctive in style as her position in the world was unique. This
remarkable book is a fond reflection of the days when her Majesty
led the field in fashion, showcasing some of the world's best
designers. At every appearance, as the world looked on, the
impeccable outfits of Queen Elizabeth II were at the centre of keen
discussion and debate. This sartorial biography celebrates Her
Majesty as a much-loved and timeless style icon. Showcasing the
best of the world’s designers, including Norman Hartnell, Hardy
Amies and Ian Thomas, it also tells us much about the many years in
which she reigned. Journey through the decades to discover classic
designs with nipped-in waists and full skirts, strong tailored
silhouettes, as well rather more relaxed styles from the 70s, all
worn by Her Majesty, who always dressed with poise and diplomacy
for the world stage. Princess Elizabeth was the leading style
influencer of her day. Young and beautiful (and a real princess),
she represented postwar optimism and renewal, both personal and
cultural. She had a wardrobe most could only dream of, custom-made
in the finest fabrics. From practical clothes for her beloved
outdoor pursuits to exquisite and sumptuous gowns, her personal
style reflected cultural and social changes over nine decades and
reveals a rare understanding of the value of impeccable dressing.
In our current era of casual clothing for nearly every occasion,
the Queen's formal attire signalled respect for those she was
visiting. With stunning formal portraits and candid photography,
discover the careful work that underpinned the royal wardrobe and
celebrate Her Majesty The Queen’s enduring legacy.
