“If I Wear Beige, I’ll Go Unnoticed”: Fashion and the Queen of England

A special event marking the anniversary of Queen Elizabeth's death

Friday | 10:45 | Jerusalem Theater, Rebecca Crown Hall

Queen Elizabeth II held a clear fashion concept during her seventy-year reign: the Queen must stand out. Her perception had an interesting rationale.
In this lecture, we’ll learn that the Queen’s style was not only an aesthetic statement but also a political one. We’ll hear how her public appearances were carefully designed to serve as a communication channel for secret messages. The Queen held a deep belief in the power of fashion as language. Her attires helped her communicate with the British people beyond words. They also became a source of inspiration for strong women worldwide and contemporary fashion runways – from Vivienne Westwood to Gucci.
