Queen Elizabeth: The Secrets of the Queen’s Wardrobe https://www.5percangol.hu/news_of_the_world/queen-elizabeth-the-secret-of-the-queens-wardrobe/ Tue, 26 Jul 2016 16:26:47 +0000 https://cmsteszt.5percangol.hu/queen-elizabeth-the-secret-of-the-queens-wardrobe/ Exhibition showcasing 90 years of royal fashion opens at Buckingham Palace

An exhibition opening at Buckingham Palace will bring together some 80 dresses worn by Queen Elizabeth II across nine decades.

Fashioning a Reign: 90 Years of Style from The Queen’s Wardrobe includes some of the most notable outfits worn by Her Majesty, including her wedding and coronation gowns, which are shown together for the first time.

The exhibition ranges from a small and dainty child’s frock worn at her father’s coronation, through decades of military service and glittering state ceremonies, right up to the vivid “Neon at 90” green coat dress worn last month for her birthday celebrations.

One gown on display is a bright yellow chiffon dress embroidered with wattle.

“This was designed by Norman Hartnell for the Queen to wear to Australia in 1974,” curator Caroline de Guitaut told the ABC.

“It’s actually the second Hartnell dress with the wattle design on it.

“The first was made for the Queen when she made her first visit as sovereign in 1954, and was much more in the crinoline style, with sprays of wattle embroidered on it and also featured over one of the shoulders.

“This was the dress that the Queen was depicted wearing in William Garvie’s famous state portrait.”

Ms de Guitaut said the dress was an example of the “soft diplomacy” of such trips.

“Part of the attention to detail that goes into the preparations of her Majesty’s tour wardrobes is considering how her clothes can pay subtle compliments to the host nation,” she said.

Other subtle compliments, including dresses embroidered with tree peonies worn in China and green maple leaves to Canada, feature throughout the exhibition.

One of the most popular dresses on display is expected to be the Angela Kelly cocktail dress worn by the Queen for the London 2012 Olympics opening ceremony.

Appearing in a pre-filmed sketch alongside Daniel Craig’s James Bond, the monarch’s outfit was designed in striking, strong lines so the illusion of the Queen jumping out of a helicopter would not be lost.

 “The philosophy behind the design was to have something in a colour that wouldn’t be in anyway representative of any of the countries participating,” Ms de Guitaut said.

“That’s why the colour is quite unique, that sort of peachy, corally pink.”

A second version was made in secret for stuntman Gary Connery to wear as he jumped out of a helicopter above the stadium.

When the Queen appeared inside the stadium wearing the same peachy coloured dress the crowd burst into wild cheers.

The exhibition runs from July 23 to October 2 at Buckingham Palace.

Where Does Michelle Obama Get the Money for Her Wardrobe? https://www.5percangol.hu/egyeb_video/where-does-michelle-obama-get-the-money-for-her-wardrobe/ Tue, 20 Oct 2015 12:04:39 +0000 https://cmsteszt.5percangol.hu/where-does-michelle-obama-get-the-money-for-her-wardrobe/ It’s obvious just by looking at her – Michelle Obama has an awesome sense of fashion, but that leads many people to wonder who is paying for her clothing and accessories. Well, taxpayers will be pleased to know their money isn’t going towards her seemingly extravagant wardrobe.

Most of the time the garments are purchased by money in her own wallet

The press secretary to the first lady Joanna Rosholm further elaborated “Mrs. Obama pays for her clothing. For official events of public or historic significance, such as a state visit, the first lady’s clothes may be given as a gift by a designer and accepted on behalf of the U.S. government. They are then stored by the National Archives.” 

Although the Obamas reported $1.8 million to $7 million in assets, their combined adjusted income last year was listed at $481,000, meaning there isn’t much room for five figure dresses in a six figure income. 

So what does Mrs. Obama do when paying out of pocket? She looks for bargains and discounts

As for how much she spends on clothes, well that’s kept on a hush hush basis. So is the frequency of the donated gowns.

What is known is that every First Lady is expected to dress the part and no clothing allowance is given for the role.
