In fact, the brand has become quite the darling of the Windsor set. 

Princess Margaret is to thank for the strong bond uniting the fashion house and the royals, as she was one of Christian Dior’s original muses. 

Other blue-blooded beauties, including the late Princess Diana and her

admin

The New York–born critic and photographer Milton Gendel (1918–2018) lived in Rome for the last 70 years of his life, a quiet man observing the international swirl of artists, writers, aristocrats, and socialites of which he was himself a part—not to mention the ordinary hubbub of Roman life.
