Princess Diana was married to Prince Charles. She was one of the most adored members of the British royal family, until her death in a 1997 car crash.
Diana, was a shy young woman with an interest in fashion and popular culture. She was a fashion icon whose style was emulated by women around the world. Diana was always aware of the power her wardrobe choices gave her to communicate key messages. As one of the most important members of the British royal family, her wardrobe requirements were fixed in a world that required ball gowns and matching hats, shoes and handbags; items that were not typical of mainstream fashion for young women in the early 1980s.
From the 1980s Catherine Walker helped her to develop an elegant, tailored look that became her own. After her divorce from Prince Charles, Diana went on to develop a more individual style that reflected her new independence and freedom. Diana understood her role as a fashion icon and that everything she wore would be scrutinized.
From local English designers, Diana turned to European designers like: Versace, Valentino, Dior, Lacroix, and Chanel. She became more international with a sophisticated and simple silhouette and with an effect that was all in the details. Superb cut and luxurious materials worn with coordinated colored accessories, handbags, jewelry, and shoes became her hallmark.
