Fashion Icon
The start of Princess Diana being a fashion icon was after her wedding day when her wedding dress became one of the most famous outfits in the world. ''It featured woven silk taffeta by Stephen Walters of Suffolk and historic lace from a flounce of Carrickmacross lace owned by Queen Mary and from the Nottingham Company, Roger Watson. The dress became one of the most famous outfits in the world, and the twenty-five-foot train added a touch of theatricality that would create an enduring image of the event, which was watched on live television by more than one billion people worldwide.'' (McDermott, Catherine). Princess Diana had a passion for fashion which is not a bad thing considering she was followed by paparazzi wherever she went. Princess Diana's closet consisted of a wide range of ball gowns and matching shoes. She had many designers that included Murray Arbeid, Belville Sassoon, and Gini Fratini. Her main fashion designer was Catherine Walker who helped her gain an youthful but elegant style that fit her personality. (McDermott, Catherine).
