Royal Style Wars

The Princess of Wales and the Duchess of York were two of the most photographed women of the 1980s, setting fashion trends for the style-conscious everywhere. Fergie --labelled 'unchic' by the fashion editors--nevertheless captured the hearts of the world with her enthusiasm and infectious informality. Diana, conversely, was famous internationally for a chic sense of style matched by a cool and beautifully studied sense of glamour. This book traces the emergence of their contrasting personalities and styles, from the time of their engagements to their new images, from wedding dresses to skiing outfits, public engagements to family holidays. Revealed here in sumptuous detail are the very different tastes of these two high-profile young women--highlighted by their relationships with designers and their feelings towards one another's clothes--seen against their Royal roles and their relationships with the Queen and the other members of the Royal Family.--Adapted from publisher description.
