Product Description
A beautiful survey of Princess Diana's fashion and the evolution of her styleCollects Diana's most famous (and infamous) outfitsTells the story behind the design of each dressIncludes interviews with designers‘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 £2 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.
Customer Reviews
I was pleasantly surprised when I went out onto my porch, and low and behold, there was the Diana book on the porch. I wasn't expecting it so soon, and I thank the seller for their speed in sending this out. It was also carefully packaged, and I thank them for that too. This book is worth every penny I just paid for it, it's in perfect condition (as described) and was shrink-wrapped. Imagine my surprise in seeing photos I've not seen before of the late Princess Diana in her gowns, etc. I just quickly flipped through it and smiled and shed a few tears seeing the late Princess in 'all her glory'. It'll take me awhile to get through this book, but it'll be worth it. I liken this book to the other wonderful one I got from Amazon, "A Dress for Diana", as I recognized some sketches with the design of her wedding dress that are in this book as well as "A Dress for Diana". I encourage readers to purchase "A Dress for Diana", it is wonderful as well!!!The other positive reviews 'nailed-it' with "Diana: A Life in Dresses", thank you for convincing to get this book!!! Oh, and thank you Amazon, as always!!!
