Lucky you! Hartnell’s creations are a thing of beauty

Ohhhh. How remarkable. Genius simplicity.

I tend to think of his stuff as dowdy because of QE's mother and QEII, but of course that's royal taste, not his fault.

Eager to hear more of your upcoming publication, I’ve enjoyed all you’ve written!

Thank you! It is a book about different garment trade workers to have supplied various royal wardrobes. So all about the workers rather than the wearers

A fresh perspective on “industry” of fashion! The personality of the designer is the focus, when often the genius of the piece is the “make”— invariably the maker’s skill of execution. Balenciaga, Vionnet, James, Gres have always impressed me with their ability to take an idea to completion.
