The character of Princess Margaret: Two sheets of costume design by Michele Clapton

The character of Princess Margaret: Two sheets of costume design by Michele Clapton The first in pencil and watercolour depicting a design titled Margaret, in mauve with notes in pencil signed by the designer, the second a pencil drawing of the same dress, with fabric swatches and a photocopy of an inspiration design (2) 38 x 29cm. (15 x 11½ in.) Footnotes: The costume design for the dress worn in Season 1, Episode 2, 'Hyde Park Corner', when Vanessa Kirby (as Princess Margaret) is singing with Jared Harris (as her father, King George VI) at Sandringham house. Michele Clapton has said: 'I tried to be witty with Margaret, using brutalist prints, unusual cuts, clever colours, pockets in ball gowns. Margaret had so much time to think and consider her look. She wears the low-cut silk-chiffon piano dress in such an intimate duet between her and her father, the King, that for a moment it's uncomfortable to watch. Then the camera pans round and you see their guests, and it's OK.' Michele Clapton, Costume Designer for Season 1 of The Crown, has worked on numerous film and TV projects, from Game of Thrones to Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again. She has received numerous accolades, including the 2017 Primetime Emmy Award® for Outstanding Period/Fantasy Costumes for a Series, Limited Series, or Movie, for The Crown, specifically for the 'Wolferton Splash' episode.
