Her Majesty Queen Sirikit and Fashion in the 1960s
In 1960, Their Majesties King Bhumibol Adulyadej and Queen Sirikit embarked on a historic state visit to 15 Western nations. The tour was the West’s formal introduction to the youthful royal couple. Her Majesty had determined that She would need a fashionable, seasonally appropriate Western wardrobe for the six-month-long tour, and She engaged renowned Paris couturier Pierre Balmain to design it.
