Born in 1909 in Maida Vale, West London, Amies grew up to become of the most important post-war names of British fashion, and will always be remembered for dressing the Queen. He died in March 2003 at the age of 93.
 
His mother introduced him to London couturier Lachasse for his first job in 1934
During WWII he served in the British Intelligence and later with the Special Operations Executive - so it wasn’t until 1946 that he opened his couture house at No 14 Savile Row
In 1947 his designs appeared on the cover of Vogue for the first time
By 1955 he was appointed the Queen’s official dressmaker - he would later design for Diana, Princess of Wales
He was knighted in 1996
 
Although Hardy Amies claimed his tailoring would not “frighten the horses”, he was not fuddy duddy and Stanley Kubrick had him create costumes for the futuristic epic, 2001: A Space Odyssey. Over fifty years, Amies’ business grew to be worth more than ￡200 million.
 
When asked which collection was his favourite, Hardy always replied “the next one”. In 2000, he sold his business to Luxury Brands Group and retired from work in November 2001. Jacques Azagury became head designer of the label but left the post in June 2002 to be replaced by Ian Garlant, who keeps the couture alive and opened a ready-to-wear shop on the Fulham Road.

Fashion design is a career that takes years of study and experimenting if you really want to be good at it. God knows what makes these hopeless wannabes think that because they splash out on the latest labels that they can start designing without any experience of what goes on behind the scenes.

Heidi ‘The Hills’ Montag is the latest celebrity to jump on the fashion bandwagon by attempting to produce her own clothes line….attempting being the appropriate word!

Her new line seems to be nothing more than a load of slutty hot pants and equally trampy crop tops….there is absolutely nothing remotely fashionable about any of it!

I doubt very much that she even went within a few feet of a sketch pad during the whole creation process and the fact that she is a fashion school drop out certainly shows! This is the latest in a long long line of celebrities- if you could call her that- suddenly deciding they have what it takes to be a fashion designer…well Newsflash…YOU DON’T!

Fair enough Gwen Stefani’s label isn’t too bad and Kate Moss for Topshop is wearable but I still think celebrities should just stick to what they’re good at….whatever that is for Heidi Montag!
