  Norman Hartnell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hartnell designed the dresses worn by Queen Elizabeth II on her marriage to Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh in 1947, and her coronation in 1953.
On the death of Queen Elizabeth's mother, the Countess of Strathmore, Hartnell remade the Queen's entire wardrobe in white, resurrecting the ancient French usage of white as royal mourning.
Hartnell never married, and instead moved in theatrical circles, counting famed photographer Cecil Beaton and socialite Bunny Roger as close friends.

 Royal Insight > Focus > Queen Elizabeth's White Wardrobe
Hartnell was greatly daunted by the task of creating dresses that would be scrutinised by the fashion capital of the world, particularly given that he had only two weeks to come up with an entirely new wardrobe for Queen Elizabeth.
The main theme of Hartnell's 'White Wardrobe' designs, 'the revival of the crinoline', was inspired by the regal elegance of the portraits of Queen Victoria and her family, by the German painter Franz Xaver Winterhalter (1805-1873), who worked extensively for Queen Victoria from 1842.
Hartnell was warmly congratulated by leading French couturiers for his 'White Wardrobe' and was even made an officer of the prestigious Académie Française for his achievements and the ultimate compliment was paid to him when the Paris autumn collections that year drew heavily on the State Visit wardrobe.

The moment that brought the magnificent sight of Her Majesty the Queen stepping out of the Gold State Coach and into the Annex was also the moment in which it was possible to see the splendorous dress designed and made for her by Norman Hartnell, who had designed her wedding dress and other important dresses.
