Queen Elizabeth II knew better than most the symbolism of fashion.
One of the most photographed people in the world during her lifetime, the late Queen lived her life in the public eye.
The abdication of the Queen's uncle and her father's death at 56 left the monarchy in crisis, and from the beginning of her reign, the Queen used clothes to communicate a consistent message: "That she's steadfast, she's dependable, that there's a continuity of the monarchy," says Dr Emily Brayshaw, Honorary Research Fellow at UTS.
