When Liz Truss, the newly appointed Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, addressed her speech following the announcement of the death of Queen Elizabeth II, on Thursday, she said “the queen was the rock on which modern Britain was built…She has been a personal inspiration to me and to many Britons.”
Her last sentence reminded us that the queen is also the tree from which bourgeoned the foundations of the modern British fashion, and a source of inspiration for many designers. Her effect was huge since she was crowned as the Queen of Britain, she was the best to reflect a boldness mixed with a conservative, classic sense, and a whimsicality that makes a key element of fashion and British culture in general. The pictures posted in newspapers, magazines, and social media platforms these days prove that the queen’s sobriety and respect for traditions hid an audacity reflected by the bright colors and hats that can only be spotted at the Royal Ascot.
