Diana, Princess of Wales became the most influential fashion icon of our times. From her first appearance on the international stage as a teenage nanny wearing a flimsy floral skirt, through the sophisticated, self-assured poses in cutting-edge fashion magazines, to the informal clothes she chose more frequently in the months prior to her death, she achieved an extraordinary metamorphosis. In this glorious celebration Georgina Howell traces not only the evolution of Diana's style but also conveys the sheer pleasure that fashion afforded her. Diana's favourite designers such as Jasper Conran, Victor Edelstein and David Sassoon recall their own memories of the part they played in her look. Beautiful photographs that trace Diana's swan-like transformation complement the sensitive text - the result is a dazzling and poignant portrait of one of the most recognised and important individuals the world has known. All royalties from this work will be contributed to the Diana Princess of Wales Memorial Fund.
