The Queen, turns 88 today .. AS she celebrates the 60 year anniversary of her coronation, we take a look back at the amazing fashion history of HRH Queen Elizabeth II. In June 1953, 27-year-old Princess Elizabeth ascended to the throne and became the Queen of England and ruler of much of the free world. She used her wardrobe to convey an image of a stately world leader and was aided - to this end - by two couturiers in particular: Norman Hartnell and Hardy Amies. Hartnell was the designer commissioned to create her coronation and wedding gowns and many of the shimmering satin confections that she wore to glamorous state occasions, while Amies primarily took care of Her Majestys daytime wardrobe. Over the years, the Queen has become famous for wearing bright, block colours, pearl necklaces, pristine white gloves, headscarves and plaid skirts. Now her style is iconic, with Agyness Deyn naming the Queen as her fashion inspiration and Dolce & Gabbana basing an entire collection around her signature looks.
