How Princess Diana’s Fashion Has Stood the Test of Time

In
fact,
it
was
in
1980
that
Diana
used
her
clothes
to
seemingly
communicate
to
the
public.
While
attending
a
polo
match,
she
wore
a
firetruck
red
knit
sweater
with
a
bold
pattern
that
featured
white
sheep
and
one
black
sheep.
Many
believed
the
not-so-subtle
print
was
Diana’s
way
of
signaling
that
she
felt
like
an
outsider.

But
whether
or
not
that
was
her
intended
message,
the
Warm
&
Wonderful
sweater
became
an
instant
hit.
The
label
recently
collaborated
with
Sperry
to
add
the
print
to
shoes,
further
proving
the
princess’s
lasting
impact.

And
who
could
forget
Diana’s
royal
wedding
in
1981,
where she
made
jaws
drop
with
her 25-foot,
hand-embroidered
train
with
sequins
and
pearl
embellishments.

“She
couldn’t
do
a
quiet-looking,
low-key
little
gown,”
designer

David
Emanuel


reflected
to
E!
News

in
2021. “The
pomp
and
ceremony
and
the
whole
thing,
I
remember
giggling
with
her.”

Another
fabulous ’80s
moment? A
polka
dot
blouse
with
dramatically
puffed
sleeves
and
a
peek-a-boo
neckline.
Worn
to
a
polo
match,
it
was
recreated
by
the
late


Virgil
Abloh
 in
2017,
among
other
famous
Diana
looks,
for Off-White’s
spring/summer
2018
collection.

“She
was
a
strong
individual,” the
designer
told


British
Vogue
 at
the
time. “Her
personal
taste
was
very
out
of
the
way
from
what
she
was
supposed
to
wear.
It’s
an
inspiration.”
