The fashion of Elizabeth II has been documented throughout her reign.
Norman Hartnell first started working for the Queen in the 1940s when she was Princess Elizabeth. He produced many evening dresses in the style that was his signature in the 1940s and 1950s: full-skirts, sumptuous silks, and duchesse satins. Hardy Amies began designing clothes for the Queen in the early 1950s and his outfits were known for their deceptive simplicity. In the 1970s the Queen awarded her patronage to Ian Thomas, who was an assistant designer to Norman Hartnell before setting up his own salon. He designed flowing chiffon dresses from the 1970s to reflect the relaxed style of the decade. Maureen Rose of the same house continued to design for the Queen after Ian's death until the late 1980s. From 1988 to 1996, the Queen's dressmaker was John Anderson. Stewart Parvin began to design for the Queen in 2000s. Angela Kelly was a personal assistant and senior dresser to the Queen, and was the Queen's dressmaker from 2002 until her death in 2022.[2] Angela and her team tried and used both old and new fabrics when designing.[3]
