Robertson’s Reads | Diana Style | By: Colin McDowell
She is perhaps my favourite example of a fashion icon: Diana.
She exuded effortless elegance in every ensemble she wore, and that elegance is examined thoroughly in Diana Style through photos, commentary, and interviews with designers and her closest confidantes.
A beautiful follow-up to Audrey Style by Pamela Clarke, author Colin McDowell has created a delightful chronological history of Diana’s style evolution. His commentary — as well as the contributions of several designers — are both helpful and informative.
My favourite features in the book include the detailed drawings — straight from the designers of some of Diana’s famous and most-loved gowns — and intimate photographs. They’re inspirational, to the say the least, just like the woman was herself.
