Platinum Jubilee Silk Scarf, Westminster Abbey Shop, 2022
Designed with artist Rory Hutton, to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee.
The coronation chair forms the centre of the scarf’s design, as the starting point of Queen Elizabeth’s reign. The martlets and oak leaves which originally decorated the coronation chair represent strength and nobility.
Surrounding the central motif are traditional symbols which are repeated throughout the architecture of Westminster Abbey - including the heraldic lion, the crown, the fleur-de-lis, the Tudor rose, the English rose, the Irish shamrock and the Scottish thistle. (No Welsh leek that I can see though!)
Earlier today, the hot Italian brand took over Wesminster Abbey to introduce her Cruise 2017 collection. Gucci, can you stop being that perfectly cool and beautiful? I can’t choose just one or two looks, so here is simply 9 reasons why I will still be mad about the brand for the next year to come.
