Simply exquisite!
Sublime design, décoration with Catherine Walker’s muses sourced throughout, e.g. page 151, bustier embroidery based on the work of Anna Marie Garthwaite, an eighteenth-century artist whose woven silk drawings are available for study at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
Numerous zoomed in photos of intricate dress design details (beadwork, patterns, fabrics) on mannequins along with zoomed out shots on live models for magazine shoots and of course, Diana wearing these amazing pieces at various events.
Highly recommended for Princess Diana fans or for art and design inspiration.
