Discreet fashion icon, Sophie of Edinburgh has a great passion for spring motifs, but not just any.
If the British can be proud to have Kate Middleton as a royal fashion icon, they can also count on Sophie of Edinburgh to have the stylistically speaking crown shine. At each of her public appearances, she wins with strong pieces and it seems that a particular print is part of the basics of the duchess wardrobe.
There is no doubt, no one handles flowers as well as Sophie of Edinburgh! While some fashionists consider floral outfits as “rejected”, Prince Edward’s wife has made this motive his trademark. She adopts it sometimes with bright colors, sometimes in an opulent version but also more subtly with micro-prints for a less curtain effect of grandmother.
Already in 2010, Sophie of Edinburgh had displayed her penchant for this print with a bohemian spirit by appearing in a Liberty play during the horse races of Royal Ascot. His recent official visit to Nepal was also an excellent example of his passion for the flowery print. The one who became Duchess of Edinburgh in 1999 thus made five very noticed appearances in flower dresses.
The last in his collection? A Max Mara Wales silk dress that she wore during her trip to Brussels last March. Puts all pretty than the others which earn him the title of Duchess of fashion.
Between Sophie of Edinburgh and the floral print, it is therefore a love story that has lasted for more than 15 years … It also has its small effect on the rest of the British monarchy since Elizabeth II, Kate Middleton, Meghan Markle or Eugenie d’Yk have a large collection of flower pieces. Enough to display his personality while respecting the very strict royal protocol.
