Members of royalty (especially Spain Letizia) can no longer separate from this ultra trendy room. They wear it on every occasion!
Although members of royal families respect certain dress codes, they still have a very developed sense of fashion. This is why Letizia of Spain, Mathilde of Belgium or Maxima of the Netherlands without forgetting Kate Middleton and Charlène of Monaco are large sources of inspiration.
And most of the time, out of pure coincidence, they wear almost the same clothes! Dresses of the same color or the same cut, almost identical tailors, similar accessories … It is also by looking at what they wear that we know what will become trendy! This is the case of the espadrilles, for example. They were at the feet of all the royalty before everyone took it again this summer. Likewise for a fairly specific skirt, which the queens, duchesses and princesses seem to be particularly appreciated this summer.
Each year, at the start of the Roland-Garros tournament, she finds herself in the size of the whole earth. However, this pleated fabric skirt dates back to ancient Egypt! Indeed, for centuries, it was an indicator of wealth and belonging to high society. But, the pleated skirt, as we know it today, was created by Jean Patou for tennis player Suzanne Lenglen in 1921 in order to allow her to move freely. This is why she immediately evokes the tenniscore trend.
It was then popularized by fashion houses such as Dior with the New Look in the late 1940s, but also by Issey Miyake who introduced a new pleating technique which immediately seduced. The it girls of the time, namely Elizabeth Taylor, Grace Kelly and Marilyn Monroe, were all seduced by it.
As for the members of royalty, they do not expect the start of the tennis championship to get it out of their dressing room. This is the case of Spanish Letizia, which brought one last April, when she associated an adolfo Dominguez pleated skirt with a Hugo Boss cashmere sweater.
Nowadays, pleated skirts are worn each year without exception. They were brought up to date by fashion houses, but especially by Lacoste, which dresses all the stars present in Roland-Garros with this emblematic piece.
