Victor Edelstein

Victor Edelstein (born 10 July 1946) is a British former couturier best known for his fashion designs for Diana, Princess of Wales, in the 1980s.

[5] He then went on to spend three years working for the London branch of Christian Dior S.A. under the direction of Jorn Langberg,[5] before re-establishing his label in 1978.

[2] His most famous design is probably the ink-blue velvet gown he created in 1985 for Diana, Princess of Wales, to wear to the White House, where she danced with actor John Travolta.

[8] In addition to Diana, his clients included the Duchess of Kent, the Princess of Hanover, Princess Michael of Kent, the Countess of Snowdon, Anna Wintour, Tina Brown,[6] Michael Heseltine's wife Anne, and Lady Nuttall, who commented that Edelstein's workroom was the only place her husband liked to accompany her when clothes-shopping.

[2] Edelstein closed his fashion house in 1993, explaining that there was no longer a market for luxurious custom-made clothing.
