Colorful jumpsuits, a neon palette, mirrored sunglasses, gloves… Princess Diana had a sense of appropriateness, including on the ski slopes. A very inspiring technical locker review.
Princess Diana, a great lover of winter sports, also changed her style. Although she has been skiing since she was a teenager, it was during her marriage to Prince Charles that her ski trips gained special attention. Every year, the British royal family visited the Swiss and Austrian Alps. Lady Dee was accompanied by her sons, Princes William and Harry, and sometimes by her in-laws, Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson. Few photographs survive of these mountain residences, which testify to his appearance on the slopes and his taste for overalls, pop colors and graphic prints.
The outfits she wore while skiing were both practical and period. With a jacket or a full suit, she walked the slopes in ensembles that look distinctly vintage today with their retro patterns, belts and turquoise hues. An aesthetic universe, however, directly inspired by the Memphis style born in Milan in the early 1980s under Ettore Sottsass. Kitsch patterns, pop colors and asymmetrical shapes that continue to inspire designers and brands today.

LISTEN TO THE PODCAST!
Nothing is left to chance. Diana Spencer made accessories as important as anything else, matching her gloves or balaclavas to her outfit details, or even a combination of the two. She seemed to love certain combinations, such as black with pink and green stripes or red with a criss-cross neckline, which she wore for several years. On the slopes of the Austrian resorts of Lech or Klosters, a Swiss resort favored by King Charles III, Lady Diana practiced two sports in which she excelled: style and skiing.
