"A detailed sartorial portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, featuring beautiful photographs, sketches, mood boards, and the memorabilia that accompanied State outfits-ideal for followers of vintage fashion and Royal watchers alike Published to coincide with the Queen's Diamond Jubilee year, this remarkable book takes a fond look back at the days when her Majesty led the way in terms of fashion, showcasing the best of the world's designers. From the coronation to the present day the Queen has attracted comment, but in the 1950s and 1960s particularly she was a style icon, copied and adored. In the 1950s her wardrobe was characterized by romantic, glamorous, yet practical dresses, with fashionable nipped-in waists and full skirts. A more tailored silhouette took over in the 1960s, while in the 1970s she embraced a more floaty, relaxed style to match the feel of the decade. From the feminine, intricately embroidered New Look dresses of Norman Hartnell through the more tailored simplicity of Hardy Amies to the more flowing style of Ian Thomas in the 1970s, the Queen's wardrobe has been inspirational in terms of vintage fashion. This sartorial biography charts a woman's move from wasp-waisted princess to stately national icon and is a must-buy for the vintage clothes enthusiast as much as for dedicated followers of her Majesty the Queen"--Publisher description.
