JOSEPH, 2022

This chic and stylish book opens Diana’s wardrobe to the world. From the Regamus debutante’s dress Diana wore at a ball at Althorp, her family estate, to her infamous Christina Stambolian ‘Revenge’ dress, each iconic moment is captured in these pages. Claudia Joseph chronicles Diana’s style evolution from the days she shopped with her mother for her wedding trousseau at Harrods, to her discovery of her wedding dress designers, the Emanuels, and her relationship with Vogue fashion director Anna Harvey, who introduced her to designers such as Catherine Walker, Jacques Azagury and Versace. She looks at the designers who shaped Diana’s image and tracks down her most symbolic dresses to museums around the world.

With her glossy dark hair, classic looks, natural appearance and cut-glass accent, Kate Middleton displayed all the poise and breeding expected from the wife of the heir to the throne. Sophisticated beyond her years, as well as academically gifted, Kate charmed William's louche circle of friends as well as the House of Windsor. Yet behind her polished veneer lay an extraordinary tale of an impoverished working-class family that overcame deprivation and adversity to rise to the upper echelons of society. For the first biography of Britain’s Princess of Wales, Claudia Joseph spoke to members of Kate's family and friends, who provided an intriguing insight into the extraordinary journey she has made from the backstreets of Southall to an apartment in the Kensington Palace.

Britain is one of the fashion capitals of the world, with a rich heritage of avant-garde designers: the name Mary Quant encapsulates the swinging Sixties; Vivienne Westwood symbolised punk and is now - almost - a national treasure; and the late Alexander McQueen left an extraordinary legacy in his tragically short life. Yet, there is another, equally important, dress code in our country - and its ambassador is the Duchess of Cambridge. Now, as she investigates the rules for dressing for the social season, fashion journalist and royal author Claudia Joseph unveils the secrets of Kate's wardrobe.
