Royals & Rebels – British Fashion
The British have made an indelible mark on fashion history. From designers like Vivienne Westwood, Alexander McQueen and Stella McCartney to the bespoke tailoring of Savile Row, British school uniforms, Scottish tartan, the style of the British Royal Family and milliners Philip Treacy and Stephen Jones’ hat designs for Ascot. The rebels of Swinging London, punks and skinheads also influenced fashion in Britain, as did the royals themselves, including the beloved Princess Diana. As well as a fashion icon, she was also a rebel who used fashion to make a statement. The grid of the book is based on a tartan pattern and so is the size.
