FASHION DESIGNER CATHERINE WALKER DIES
Baku, September 27 (AZERTAC). The fashion designer Catherine Walker, whose clothes were favored by Diana, Princess of Wales, has died at the age of 65, her family has said.
She provided Diana with many of her iconic outfits, and the princess was buried in a black Walker dress. Walker first worked with Diana three months after her wedding to Prince Charles in 1981.
Walker, who had suffered from breast cancer, was born in France but made a name for herself in Britain as a leading couture designer. She studied philosophy at the Universities of Lille and Aix-en Province, and then moved to London after meeting solicitor John Walker. Walker was named Designer of the Year for Couture at the British Fashion Awards in 1990 and Designer of the Year for Glamour the following year.
