Description

First Edition, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper

The first edition of this work. Held in original dustwrapper. Catherine Walker, as noted to the foreword, was responsible for the 'look' of Princess Diana. She designed numerous gowns for the royal and they had a fifteen year professional relationship. This work discusses Catherine Walker's career and her 'rags to riches tale that transcends fashion'. In the preface, Walker notes that Diana, Princess of Wales, had offered to write the foreword to this biography. However, the princess' untimely death meant that she never got to see the completed work, or pen the foreword. Illustrated throughout, with numerous photographs of Walker's creations.
