Catherine Walker, haute couture designer of many of the late Princess Diana's most elegant fashions, has died recently.

In her designs she liked to emphasise an elongated torso and created 1000's of outfits for the late Princess who with her classical, statuesque beauty, must have been a dream client .
Catherine Walker's atelier in London was set up along french lines and she employed very talented people as tailors and embroiderers/decorative artists and designers to continue her studio.
