clothes were the best way of expressing her personality and emotions.Nobody – least of all the Royal Family – could have predicted the power Diana would one day wield when she arrived on the scene as a shy 19-year-old nursery school assistant, with a wardrobe of floral “accidentally see-through” skirts, sheep-patterned jumpers and yellow dungarees.At that point, the world was desperate to turn her into a fairytale princess and Diana was so young that she made this transformation easy. “Her [Elizabeth and David Emanuel] wedding gown was the ultimate example of Diana living out the dreams of millions of girls,” says the Telegraph’s fashion director, Bethan Holt. “All that tulle, and the absurdly long train were everything that comes to mind when we conjure a vision of the perfect princess.”In 1980, Diana (with engagement to Charles imminent) began working with the now late Anna Harvey, a British stylist who would later become an editorial director at Conde Nast.
