Queen Elizabeth's country fashion choices celebrated with Italian firm's new 'Balmoral' collection READ MORE: Princess Margaret wore them, and Kate, Meghan and other royal women have followed in her footsteps - so why are 'super regal' cape dresses so popular? By Rebekah Absalom Published: 07:14, 1 October 2024 | Updated: 07:15, 1 October 2024 e-mail 1 View comments Avid royal fans browsing a new collection by Italian fashion house Miu Miu are likely to have no trouble working out where they got their inspiration. The coveted new range is brimming with classic argyle knits, waxed cotton overcoats and Prince of Wales checks, complemented by regal pearl necklaces. Miu Balmoral has been inspired by the country wear of Queen Elizabeth II and is named after the late monarch's beloved Scottish residence.

The Italian fashion house, which is the sister label to Prada, was founded in 1992 by Miuccia Prada, who serves as creative director. She once described the Queen as 'one of the most elegant women in the world,' and has referenced her signature style in numerous collections. Items are available for purchase from the Miu Miu website and in a series of pop-up stores across Tokyo, Osaka, Shanghai, Bangkok, Hong Kong and Seoul.



Miu Miu has unveiled a heartfelt tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth II with a special 'Miu Balmoral' collection, named after the late monarch's private Scottish residence. Above: Queen Elizabeth at the Windsor Horse Show in 2002 Sunday, September 8, marked two .
