Deja vu for Diana’s favourite designer

CATHERINE Walker’s latest collection gave fashionistas a certain sense of deja vu.

the ice-blue dress with crystals and sequins (right) looks incredibly similar to one Princess Diana wore to a Christie’s reception two months before her death in 1997.

Walker, one of Diana’s favourite designers, died of breast cancer in 2010 aged 65.

the new dress was created by her widower, Said Cyrus, who was responsible for the beading on Diana’s frock. a spokesman tells me: ‘Princess Diana wore a similar dress in 1997, but the detailing was slightly different.’
