7 Ways Princess Diana Influenced Fashion

Welcome to our video listing the 7 Ways Princess Diana Influenced Fashion!

Lady Diana is perhaps the most influential fashion icon of the 90's, her style remains an inspiration for women all around the world. Her story is one of evolution and reinvention, something we can all take notes from.

Diana became a public figure in the 1980's when in 1981 she married Prince Charles at St. Paul's Cathedral. Diana's wedding dress, designed by Elizabeth and David Emanuel, was a fairy-tale fantasy that showcased traditional English craftwork. The dress became one of the most famous wedding dresses in the world, and the twenty-five-foot train added a touch of theatricality that would create an enduring image of the event, which was watched on live television by more than one billion people worldwide.

From that moment she became a public person, being photographed every where she went, and thus Diana's passion for clothes and fashion became a requirement of her new public life. As one of the most important members of the British royal family, her wardrobe requirements were fixed in a world that required ball gowns and matching hats, shoes, and handbags, items that were not typical of mainstream fashion for young women in the early 1980s.

In the beginning of her marriage she had a more traditional style, one that fit the royal requirements, but with time she became bolder with her choices and her partnership with British designer, Catherine Walker started. With Walker they developed a younger style that was elegant and more her own.

But only after Princess Diana's separation in 1992 and her divorce in 1996, her style reached its peak! Who doesn't remember the revenge dress? The one she wore the night Prince Charles announced his affair with Camila Parker-Bowles?

In the 90's with her new found freedom Diana experimented with fashion in a way that truly represented her. Is during this time we saw her most iconic staples, like the oversized blazers and the cycling shorts.
