Today would have been Lady Di’s 60th birthday. There will many celebrations, as you might have noticed, but the biggest celebration is…the full MS of the LADY DI LOOK BOOK has now been delivered…and what a joy it is to share it with you on this special day!
In record speed Eloise Moran has been writing and photo researching the last 3 months and what an empowering, uplifting and fun book it will be. It’s around 30k words and includes 230 (!) pictures of Lady Di, some of them rarely seen, world rights for all the pictures have been cleared, indeed …a gift for publishers. However, it’s so much more than just a photo book, or a fashion book, or a book about a royal, it’s a human story and shows no matter what happens to us, we can reclaim our narrative through our clothes. It might inspire some to leave toxic relationships or celebrate their divorce even more, others might feel they need to change their entire wardrobe (me!). No matter what you’ll get out of it, or what your current mood is…you’ll feel better after reading.
To introduce Eloise and the book to you and to celebrate Lady Di’s, we recorded a Zoom talk with Eloise yesterday. You can watch the video here:

SMP will be publishing early summer 2022 in the US along with Octopus in the UK. 2022 will all about Lady Di. In August 2022 it will be 25 years ago that she tragically passed away, there will be the release of the very last season of the Crown, and the release of the movie Spencer starring Kristen Stewart.
Eloise did lots of press lately. Here is the latest:
