A English fashion designer, Sir Hardy Amies served as the official dressmaker to Queen Elizabeth II for more than 40 years. In 1945, Sir Amies established the most successful English couture house known for its beautiful clothing and accessories for men and women. In 1947 for the first time, his designs appeared on the cover of Vogue and in 1961 he made fashion history by staging the first men's ready-to-wear catwalk show.
