Amies

Hardy Edwin (1909-2003). English designer and the favorite of Queen Elisabeth. At the start of a long career, by 1934 he was founder and managing director of London’s Lachasse Couture House. He went out on his own in 1946 in the field of women’s wear, both prêt-à-porter and haute couture. Four years later, Elisabeth, heir to the throne, ordered a dress from him. It is his “consecration.” In 1962 he presented a men’s Collection. He was the author of the ABC of Men’s Fashion and The Englishman’s Suit.
