Queen of England Elizabeth II There are many things that people talk about, one of which is her colorful look that has been around for odd years.
From jewelry, black bags, and even to umbrellas, let’s take a look at the heroes behind the scenes of creating the Queen of England.
1: Three-layer pearl necklace
The first thing to know is: there is no queen who doesn’t wear pearls!
was influenced by great-great-grandmother Queen Victoria . The queen has loved pearls since she was a child. Every year Queen Victoria would send a pearl on her daughter and granddaughter’s birthday so that she could have enough pearls to wear in a chord chain at the age of 18.
The Queen's Father George VI The King gave her a thin platinum chain, and every year on her birthday, she added two pearls to it.
1935, the grandfather of the Queen of England , , George V , gave a pearl necklace to the queen on the jubilee anniversary. This was a three-layer pearl necklace, and the sister , Princess Margaret , obtained a double-layer necklace.
In the past few decades, the Queen has often worn this pearl necklace to attend major important occasions.
Throughout history, all queens wear pearl necklaces, as do Elizabeth II. This three-layer pearl necklace is her family treasure.
This pearl necklace is inseparable from the queen's shape. Even though she has more than 300 jewelry pieces, this one is still her first choice accessory.
2: Rachel Trevor-Morgan hat
According to unofficial statistics, the queen has worn more than 5,000 hats in the past 50 years.
hats are not only traditional British etiquette, but also the rare accessories for fashionists to create the queen's iconic look!
In 2006, Rachel Trevor-Morgan became the Queen of England hat designer and received Royal Warrant (Royal certification) in 2014.
Review of the Queen's style, I found that she often wears blue suits and hats. It is said that blue Royal Blue represents the queen's loyalty to the people; from the perspective of color science, blue clothing can exude a calm and solemn atmosphere.
3: Fulton Umbrella
1988, Fulton received a call from the Queen's Mother's secretary, hoping to find the brand's first transparent dome umbrella Birdcage.
has actually been discontinued due to poor sales, but Fulton re-launched it in order to meet the Queen's requirements and obtained Royal Warrant in 2003, and has been making umbrellas for the Queen to date - each umbrella is customized for the Queen to ensure that the color matches the Queen's clothing.
The royal family usually gives the queen the clothing fabric and required colors they wear to Fulton, and then makes the prototype of the umbrella. After approval, it will be made according to the queen's specifications. For example, the colored bars close to the edge of the umbrella will be made thinner as required.
The Queen is not a squandering person. She hates waste, so she will never make an umbrella for every look. It is just because the Queen has been using Fulton umbrellas since 2003, so she has accumulated a lot.
Fulton bird cage umbrella design provides better protection for the queen. The rain will not splash on the surface, and the smooth lines will make it more elegant in the queen's hands. The transparent design allows everyone to see the queen's smile at all times.
4: Anello & Davide Low Heel Leather Shoes
For nearly 50 years, Anello & Davide has been making leather shoes for the Queen, and comfort and support are the key.
When the Queen was young, she wore shoes with thinner soles and higher heels; but in the past 50 years, the Queen has changed to low-heel styles, making her walk more stable and flexible.
The leather shoes used to make queens are all made of the best calfskin, usually black patent leather, with brass buckles or small bows. They are simple and elegant, and will not steal the limelight, but they cannot be without them in their shape.
heel is about 2 and a half inches high, and there are raised insoles inside the shoe to provide a better support for the arch; if the queen is likely to walk on uneven ground, the heel will be slightly lowered. All shoes are hand-dyed and waterproof.The production process of
is that the Anello & Davide team first uses a wooden last with the size of the queen's shoes, plus the sole and heel, and then send it to the palace for trial and adjustment.
Over the years, they have made hundreds of pairs of nearly identical shoes for the Queen, and about 10 pairs of shoes are worn more often, including pure black leather, black patent leather, white leather and beige leather, as well as three evening shoes: beautiful, silver and gold.
5: Launer handbags
000s, handbag brand Launer has been making bags for the British royal family. The Queen's mother once bought a Launer handbag, and she liked it very much and bought one for her daughter. Since then, the Queen and Launer have formed an inseparable relationship.
has over 200 Launer handbags, the Queen loves The Triviata, The Royale and exclusive custom styles.
These three handbags are square in shape and the top is covered. Among the three models, Traviata is the best-selling, priced at more than 2,000 pounds. Of course, it has the effect of being driven by the queen!
Brand CEO Gerald Bodmer shares that the queen doesn't like shoulder straps, zippers or too many interval designs, so she only uses one interval in the middle, so she can easily put her hands through the shoulder straps, unlock the bag, and easily get what she wants.
This is the most commonly used and best-selling Traviata style that the brand uses.
6: Cornelia James gloves
Since 1947, the Queen of England has been using gloves made by Cornelia James. The brand also obtained royal authorization in 1979 and became the official glove manufacturer.
Wearing gloves is the first style and the second is practical! Since the queen often needs to shake hands, gloves also serve as a protective effect.
Queen especially loves Francesca and Regina series, but never wears leather or synthetic materials. Be sure to be made of suede-decorated pure cotton or lighter Swiss cotton.
makes a pair of queen gloves about 45 minutes, and over the years, I have made about 60-70 pairs of new gloves.
Among them, white gloves has become a symbol of the queen. Every time I go out on the street, I can't see the queen's face, but as long as I see a hand wearing white gloves waving from a distance, I feel like seeing the queen.
