Princess Diana "saved lives" with her dresses.
The head of design’s widower at Catherine Walker & Co, the late princess’ favourite design house, has revealed Diana – who tragically passed away in 1991 after being involved in a car crash in Paris – has revealed the extreme lengths they would go to make sure her outfits were respectful to the places she visited around the world.
In an interview with PEOPLE magazine, Said Cyrus said: "As with all our clients who are in the public eye and attend high profile events, we worked very closely with Diana to ensure what she was wore was appropriate and she — not the clothes — was the star.
"My wife and I spent a great deal of time researching what she wore for official visits abroad, even visiting countries in advance to make sure we had it right. We tried to ensure that our designs bridged her ambassadorial role for her own country and also paid respect to each destination.
"She will always be remembered for her humanitarian work. In the end, she used her dresses to save lives."
Cyrus was speaking in the run up to the opening of the new exhibition ‘Diana: A Fashion Story at Kensington Palace’.
