Surprising secrets of Queen Elizabeth II’s colorful royal wardrobe 👗
Queen Elizabeth II built her entire public wardrobe around one principle: "I need to be seen to be believed."
Bright colors, coordinated hats, a simple silhouette were all easily spotted from across a crowded street. But what happened when it rained? ☔️
An ingenious Hardy Amies raincoat heading to the a new exhibition this April might answer that question. It will be displayed alongside the Queen’s collection of transparent umbrelles to reveal exactly how she thought about being seen.
Featuring approximately 200 items, with around half on public display for the first time - the exhibition “Queen Elizabeth II: Her Life in Style” will chronicle ten decades of fashion, from infancy to her final years.
Also from the @RoyalCollectionTrust and out NOW in the UK is a brand new publication offering new research and an unprecedented look inside Queen Elizabeth II’s fashion archive.
