"I am honoured to have been asked to design such a historic gown for Her Majesty. This really is the most important commission of my life. Very exciting and very special," Bruce Oldfield told WWD.
Other prominent figures from the entertainment industry who love Oldfield's designs, which are popular for their sophisticated simplicity, include Joan Collins, Sienna Miller, and Rihanna. He has won numerous awards for his work, including an OBE (Order of the British Empire) in 1990.
