bdmetronews Desk ॥ Two decades after her fatal car crash, Princess Diana’s style legacy lives on. And with the 20th anniversary of the glamorous royal’s tragic death coming up in 2017, her footprint in the fashion world is being felt more than ever.
The latest homage to Princess Di’s sartorial side has taken shape as the Diana: Her Fashion Story exhibition opening in February, where three outfits once owned and worn by the princess will be up for auction at her former home Kensington Palace, with the blessing of her two sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, according to the Telegraph.
The first of the frocks that will be on the block is a brown tartan day dress with a white Peter Pan collar. Diana wore the below-the-knee dress, designed by Caroline Charles, at the Braemar Highland Games on Sept. 4, 1982, “a year after Charles and Diana married, and it was such a happy and relaxed moment,” said auctioneer Kerry Taylor to the Telegraph. Taylor says the dress represents “the calm before the storm,” alluding to the rocky marriage of Princess Di to Prince Charles, which ended in divorce in 1996.
