Overview
Diana: The Fashion Chronicles showcases 1,000 looks of Diana, day by day, outfit by outfit, on show and off duty. Page by page, it reveals the evolution of the princess's style, simultaneously revealing a huge amount about her character, her working life, and her influence--on fashion trends and on other people's lives.
For every year, McAlpine chooses one of the iconic looks for in-depth treatment. For each of these, the preparatory sketch is shown alongside the photo of Diana wearing the finished item, and the story of its creation and impact is revealed. Breakout features are provided for every outfit worn more than seven times, including one Yves Saint Laurent dress that the princess wore more than twenty times in slightly adjusted forms, and every royal tour is covered in detail, showcasing the couture wardrobes influenced by the styles of the countries visited.
Feature articles punctuate the chronicle of looks, written by designers and photographers who worked with her, including Jasper Conran, designer of the 1984 scarlet two-piece suit of brushed red wool, and royal photographer Jayne Fincher.
This definitive catalog of Diana's legendary wardrobe is a must-have for fans who have obsessed over Diana's life and style since her courtship with Prince Charles, and for young fashion aficionados who are only now discovering her most iconic looks--the Travolta dress, the Elvis dress, and the "revenge dress."
