Book Synopsis A Dress for Diana by : David Emanuel
Download or read book A Dress for Diana written by David Emanuel and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2011-04-05 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: July 29,1981—The Royal Wedding of HRH Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer was one of the iconic moments of the twentieth century. It remains a day embedded in the memory of millions of people around the world—over 800 million people were watching at home on television. Of all the images from the day, the most unforgettable is Diana's arrival at St. Paul's Cathedral in a glass carriage and the public's first glimpse of the best kept secret of the day, the royal wedding dress: layers of silk, antique lace, pearls, sequins, and a 25-foot train, which had been hidden in a vault in London, concealed from the public eye. It was a true Cinderella dress, one the public is joyfully remembering today as they anxiously wait to see if the wedding grown of England's future princess, Kate Middletown who is already known for dressing like Diana at royal events, can surpass it. For the designers, David Emanuel and Elizabeth Emanuel who created Diana's dress, it was "a fairytale come true." Having only been introduced to her earlier that year, the Emanuels quickly became one of her favored designers, which lead to the career-changing request they received in March 1981. The glorious dress the Emanuels created was one bridal designers around the world would soon mimic, and it is carefully deconstructed in this artfully designed book created by the designers themselves and filled to the brim with background information on the dress and Diana's wishes for it, the original inspirational sketches of it, close-up images of its remarkable details, and photographs of Dina dressed in it on her wedding day as she became the royal princess of England.

Book Synopsis The Lady Di Look Book by : Eloise Moran
Download or read book The Lady Di Look Book written by Eloise Moran and published by St. Martin's Griffin. This book was released on 2022-07-19 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through a rich and beautiful series of images, British fashion journalist Eloise Moran decodes Princess Diana’s outfits in this smart visual psychobiography of an icon. From the pink gingham pants and pastel-yellow overalls of a sacrificial lamb, to the sexy Versace revenge dresses, power suits, and bicycle shorts of a free woman, British fashion journalist Eloise Moran has studied thousands of pictures of Princess Diana. She soon discovered that behind each outfit lay a carefully crafted strategy: What Lady Di couldn’t express verbally, she expressed through her clothes. Diana’s most show-stopping—and poignant—outfits are all here in The Lady Di Look Book, incisively decoded. Moran sees things no one has before: Why, for example, did Diana have a rotating collection of message sweatshirts? Was she mad for plaid, or did the tartan have a deeper meaning? What about her love of costume jewelry on top of the tiaras and oval sapphire engagement ring? With new interviews from some of the people who dressed Diana, Moran’s book is both a record of what Diana wore and why she wore it—and why we are still obsessed with Lady Di. From 1980s Sloane Ranger cottagecore Diana, to athleisure and Dynasty Di Diana, The Lady Di Look Book is both compulsively delightful and a full biography of the world’s most beloved royal.
Book Synopsis Fashion and Its Social Agendas by : Diana Crane
Download or read book Fashion and Its Social Agendas written by Diana Crane and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2012-06-12 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has long been said that clothes make the man (or woman), but is it still true today? If so, how has the information clothes convey changed over the years? Using a wide range of historical and contemporary materials, Diana Crane demonstrates how the social significance of clothing has been transformed. Crane compares nineteenth-century societies—France and the United States—where social class was the most salient aspect of social identity signified in clothing with late twentieth-century America, where lifestyle, gender, sexual orientation, age, and ethnicity are more meaningful to individuals in constructing their wardrobes. Today, clothes worn at work signify social class, but leisure clothes convey meanings ranging from trite to political. In today's multicode societies, clothes inhibit as well as facilitate communication between highly fragmented social groups. Crane extends her comparison by showing how nineteenth-century French designers created fashions that suited lifestyles of Paris elites but that were also widely adopted outside France. By contrast, today's designers operate in a global marketplace, shaped by television, film, and popular music. No longer confined to elites, trendsetters are drawn from many social groups, and most trends have short trajectories. To assess the impact of fashion on women, Crane uses voices of college-aged and middle-aged women who took part in focus groups. These discussions yield fascinating information about women's perceptions of female identity and sexuality in the fashion industry. An absorbing work, Fashion and Its Social Agendas stands out as a critical study of gender, fashion, and consumer culture. "Why do people dress the way they do? How does clothing contribute to a person's identity as a man or woman, as a white-collar professional or blue-collar worker, as a preppie, yuppie, or nerd? How is it that dress no longer denotes social class so much as lifestyle? . . . Intelligent and informative, [this] book proposes thoughtful answers to some of these questions."-Library Journal

Book excerpt: With famous fans such as Rihanna still referring to Lady Di as one of her style icons, and Hailey Bieber paying homage to her athleisure looks, it's clear that Princess Diana is one of the most influential style icons of the 20th century. Throughout the 80s and 90s she was known as a loving mother, philanthropist, 'Princess of the People' and daring and bold fashionista. In The Legend of Di Dan Jones celebrates the style evolution of Lady Diana Spencer - from the innocent see-through skirt faux-pas, to the off-the-rack blue David Sassoon suit and pussy bow ensemble worn on her engagement to Prince Charles, the 25-foot train on her Elizabeth and David Emmanuel wedding dress, the 1996 black Christina Stambolian 'revenge dress', bike pants with Virgin Atlantic sweatshirt going-home-from-the-gym look, and more. Dan will chart how Di's style evolved from the twee Laura Ashley-loving 19-year-old when she first joined the monarchy in 1981, to a bold and confident fashion influencer in the 90s. Diana had the the knack of following Royal Etiquette yet making up her own fashion rules, influencing millions of women across the globe along the way. From her frilly pussy bow blouses, to one-shoulder spangly dresses, statement chokers, colourful suits and jeans with blazer ensembles, this is a collection of her best-loved fashion moments - from the red carpet to heading home from the gym and walking through minefields. Beautifully illustrated throughout, and featuring over 50 of Diana's most iconic looks, as well as profiles of her go-to designers, this is a keepsake for die-hard Di fans and fashion-lovers alike.

Sourced and edited by her grandson Alexander, Diana Vreeland: Bon Mots covers Vreeland's incisive views of subjects such as allure, fashion, and style ("I mean, a new dress doesn't get you anywhere; it's the life you're living in the dress"); beauty ("The neck is the beginning and end of looking like anybody"); age ("The quickest way to show your age is to try to look young"); color ("Black is the hardest color to get right--except for gray"); and her powerfully creative way of thinking ("I'm looking for the suggestion of something I've never seen") Brought to life by illustrator Luke Edward Hall, Bon Mots vividly displays Mrs. Vreeland's original thought and speech, which is equally as inspiring and relevant now as it was then.
