Designer recalls Princess Diana's revenge dress: ‘Went against strict fashion rules'

The designer that aided Princess Diana’s revenge dress has just come forward to reveal what went down.

The designer is Jacques Azagury and she shared everything with Fox News Digital, ahead of the Princess Diana’s Style & A Royal Collection auction.

According to Azagury the moment she was introduced via Anna Harvey, deputy editor of British Vogue, “she immediately put me at ease. She had this amazing ability to make you feel completely at ease in no time.”

But even still, the princess ‘hadn’t dared’ to wear something as revealing as her ‘revenge dress,’ despite having owned it for three years prior.

According to the designer it was only in “her later years,” after her marriage with King Charles took a hit that “Diana embraced this sexier, sleeker look, which was my aim.”

And, “my aim was really to just get her out of all these frills and… frumpy skirts that she was wearing at the beginning,” Azagury admits. “As her life was developing, she had to be on the international stage, and it was my job to make her fit there.”

And “gradually, I simplified and simplified her right to the end until there wasn’t really that much dress,” so “it was more about the princess and the fit of the dress.”

For those unversed, this came despite the princess being bound to strict fashion rules within the Royal Family.

However, after her divorce finalized in 1996, the designer created the ‘’Famous Five” collection.

“This is a period when you see the Diana that we all loved, where she was feeling free from her marriage. It was her new life starting. She was fit, she was training. She looked phenomenal, and these dresses were saying exactly what she wanted to say, that she was a free woman.”

Not to mention, “she could wear what she wanted to wear. She moved away from royal protocol with the length of the dresses. It was kind of a rebellion, but not a rebellion. But it was her way of telling people that she’s her own woman.”
