Diana Style

'She saw herself as having two roles. She had her performance outfits, and her clothes for when she was not performing. She had an innate understanding of the image she wanted to portray' Jasper Conran

'She knew what she liked and what she wanted, and it was nothing necessarily to do with what was fashionable' Anna Harvey, Vogue

Lavishly illustrated with over 100 striking images, and original designer sketches, the exquisitely designed Diana Style is the natural follow-up to the international bestseller Audrey Style.

Diana was the world's most photographed woman in the 1980s and '90s. Her every outfit was scrutinised, criticised, admired and endlessly copied, her every fashion choice enormously influential. But how did the shy Sloane nanny in a chiffon skirt learn to be demure and striking in Versace, Walker, Edelstein, Choo and Blahnik? What were her influences? Who were the designers that dressed her? What were the outfits that made her? And how did her dress reflect her times?

In Diana Style, renowned fashion writer Colin McDowell has written a definitive and celebratory book on Diana's transition from dirndl to diva, featuring original interviews from the designers, photographers and confidantes who supported her unique contribution to fashion. Diana Style is a treasure that every admirer of Diana, and anyone interested in fashion, will want to own.
