Sir Norman Hartnell combined flamboyant flair with the dignity and assurance of traditional British style. The designer who famously quipped, “I despise simplicity. It is the negation of all that is beautiful” was known for his opulent yet elegant designs, lavishly adorned embroidery, and use of intricate details. His repertoire of clients included Hollywood starlets, socialites, princesses and queens, all of whom were drawn to the glamour and palatial pomp exuded by his designs.❤
So many of the designs could be worn today and that was the beauty of his designs.
Absolutely 🤔
Princess Beatrice wore a gorgeous evening gown for her wedding which was designed by Hartnell for Queen Elizabeth. The gown had short sleeves added for Beatrice.
@@jackiemartin9737 thank you!👌
I so wish fashion would go back to his 50's designs. The dresses he made especially for Her Majesty QE2 are breathtaking.. especially her coronation dress. They're exquisite with the beading, too. 💜👑
Fully agree!❤️
Id never heard of him, but Now that I’ve seen his designs, I see he was the OG of fashion 😊thank you for the upload, wonderfully done
Thank you so much!!!!🖤🖤🖤
Wow, loved the close ups of the ball gown details!
That are really great!!!Thanks for watching 🌷
I do wish that they had used a ‘Real’ voice for narrating rather than an AI 😣
I'm sorry to hear that you don't like my content... unfortunately, I'm not a native speaker and it's hard for me to keep up with correct pronunciation.
I make as many videos as I can, and believe me, each one takes many hours of my life))))))
I hope you find the UA-cam channels worthy and interesting!
And yes, thank you for watching!🖤

I liked your channel, but the voice over appears to sound like some of the AI voice.
@@zippetydodahday thank you!Thats all what I can do😒❤️
Growing up as a boy in Texas in the sixties, I thought Hartnell just automatically dressed the British Royal Family! So much of what he did reminds me of the best of Dior in the forties and fifties: unapologetic luxury.
It was a great time!❤️
Thank you for the this video. Hartnell's designs referenced the English monarchy's history to remind the world that Elizabeth was a Queen rather than a politician's or businessman's wife - branding before branding 😉. His designs definitely had influence in the fashion world at the time and as reference years later - designers borrowed and modernized for the public in each country/market.
Thanks for your opinion 🤔very interesting!❤️
Thank you.
Thank you so much!!!❤️
Pity fashion is no longer like this anymore, I'm 60 this year and all clothes are for teenagers, when I was a teenager it was for everyone 😢
Unfortunately,agree with you…I’m 40 years old,and I have a really hard time finding decent clothes too.....😒
@@Wench64 “I feel like the lost generation “….I couldn't have said it better, that's a very good point.
I think that's how people of all ages feel nowadays... There's too much... too much....🤔
I am 57 and it is difficult to find clothing designed for women our age. And fast fashion is ruining style, too.
@@Sunshine-zm1fx 😒
@@Sunshine-zm1fx that's the problem, fashion had style and flair,lasted as well, now you buy a t shirt and after a couple of washes it's a dish rag, and is thin, and sorry but I hate people always wearing leggings or what really are slobs clothes, people don't dress up anymore yes fast fashion has become a problem
Another interesting video, shame you did not mention his work for Queen Mary as he did a lot for her and brought her look into the modern age. People who knew him said how kind and charming he was, such a shame his business was so poorly managed, leading to a sad end.
Thanks ❤️I think,it is such a broad topic, it's worthy of its own video!🕊️
Wonderful video. I look forward to seeing your channel in my subscription feed. ❤
Thank you so much!!!❤️❤️❤️
It’s not Bruton Road, it’s Bruton Street. Hartnell was at No 10. At No 17, Princess Elizabeth of York, later Queen Elizabeth II, was born in 1926.
Thank you for the clarification...I use books as a source of information...apparently not all data matches reality.....
A genius of design. The portion when they are talking about his designs for the Queen Mother in 1937 & her visit to paris & the US in 1938, 39, why aren't any sketches or photos shown. i have seen photos of many of these ensembles.
Hi❤️In fact, I couldn't find a good quality photo.... Thanks for watching!
He apparently designed the uniform for the WRAC. if that's actually true, I worn a Hartnell creation in the 60ies!
Reall?I didn’t know…Thanks for watching!
Magdalene College is pronounced "Maudlin College."
Thank you!🖤
I am not saying he wasn't a great designer - he was, but he was also the personal favorite of the Queen Mother. I don't think he did any justice for the Queen designing gowns for her that her mother would also wear. Even through the 60's he sort of missed the swing in fashion..... IMO, his designs aged the Queen and did nothing to promote a "modern" monarchy.
I think, Hartnell’s influence on royal fashion extended beyond his lifetime. His approach to dressing royalty set a precedent for how fashion could be used to project a particular image of stability, tradition, and sophistication.
Norman Hartnell’s contributions to royal fashion not only defined the visual style of the British monarchy but also solidified the relationship between fashion and the image of the British royal family in the public eye…But it is time to change😉
My thoughts exactly. Fabulous dresses, 30 years out of date. She had a lot of personal style, but she didn’t wear the dresses, the dresses wore her.
@@jeffreyanderson1851 very interesting 🤔
The Queen was more interested in representing stability than fashion. In many ways her job was to be “boring”, but she always looked appropriate for the occasion. And always looked lovely.
@@lunaholiday8585 Love her🖤
❤
🖤❤️
He ruined royal fashion dragging it back to an older era and keeping the Queen and her sister in dowdy and fussy old women clothes in the prime of their womanhood. This is why the Queen looked so old fashioned and antiquated next to the likes of Jackie O.
Very interesting…thank you!👌
I hate computer generated voice overs. It's not "Magdalen" college, it's pronounced "Maudlin" college! Also, Lady Cecelia's surname was Bowes-Lyon, not Lyon Bowes!
Ok😒Thanks for watching 🌷
@@FashionQuestion Not a criticism, as I really enjoyed the video! I've liked & subscribed!
@@markcooke729 thank you!!!!❤️❤️❤️
It is a pity that appearing naked is fashionable among hollywood ladies. No one is impressed.
Thanks for watching!
AI narration knows nothing about punctuation. Please bring back a human being. There are a few of us left!!!
Sorry to here that!
Best wishes to you for finding the best content!❤️Valerie.
Oh my goodness 😱... the dress at 12:55 is EVERYTHING!!!!
👌❤️❤️❤️
British royalty and fashion in one sentence is an oxymoron. Especially the fifties. Hideous.
Hi!🕊️Thanks for your opinion!
I don't think it makes sense to evaluate something that is more than 70 years old... the purpose of the video is to tell about such a fact in the fashion world😁❤️
I think that the 50s were TRULY fabulous. AND the LAST era of truly beautiful AND feminine fashion. AND l know....at 82...l LIVED it❤@@FashionQuestion
@@patriciakeenan5448 thank you❤️❤️❤️
Or intonation. Or pronunciation. What have we come to? I weep!
