Princess fashion
The new style royal
Anke Schipp
Mary on the title of a Danish fashion magazine
14. March 2005 If one thinks about princesses above all hats occurs to one. Large hats. Ghastly hats. With feather decoration deformed, formed like soup pots or saucers. Mostly in the same tone as boring as the costume and the still even more boring pumps and handbags.
Dress ensemble, tone in tone, in mauve, pale pink or bleached green. It’s a long time ago that princesses were style-forming in the fashion and set trends copied by the people. Roughly one, two centuries.
Strict dresscodes
How difficult the relationship between high aristocracy and genuine fashion is, showed up already with Princess Diana. Who applied during the eighties and the nineties as the most glamourous representative of her guild.
She was interested, her hair-style was copied, her bride dress, the engagement ring. Though even she had to obey strict dresscodes. And above all: english designers to wear, though not the experiment-joyful, but the tame, inconspicuous, nameless. Only after the divorce, which equaled an abdication, she carried the extravagant drafts of her favourite designer Gianni Versace.
Festive Outfit for a ball in Australia
A new generation
After Dianas death writes the "Herald Tribune", Hollywoodstars would have taken over the role of princesses. Now the fimale aristocrats with predominantly middle-class background are striking back and take again the position, which is entitled to them: To be role model for millions of young girls - also in the fashion.
Particularly in the high north, in Norway, Sweden and Denmark, a new generation of crown princess has emergenced. "They are modern and no stiff princesses, like still a few years ago", says fashion designer Valentino joyfully excited about his new customers.
Fashionable highness: Mary in Hugo Boss
Just an Australian
Just a bruenette Australian sticks out in Scandinavia among the candidates for the throne. Crown Princess Mary of Denmark - none is more royal, writes the "Herald Tribune". In December Mary was on the title of the Australian "Vogue", currently she decorates the Danish Design magazine "Dansk".
By the Spanish magazine "Hola" she was selected as the best dressed princess and left even Letizia of Spain behind. Letizia has married nearly at the same time last year like her into the high aristocracy.
Mary in business-look
Naturally and self-confidently
Her fashion style corresponds to her attitude: Into the role as a future queen she has inserted herself convidently. Allegedly, without completing an etiquette-school at the palace in Copenhagen.She isn’t shy like Mette Marit in Norway, not tense like the colleague at the Spanish court.
She is natural and self-confident. Her style: elegant,not strained, sometimes fancy - and above all internationally. "I never reflected much about fashion", said Mary in the Australian "Vogue", "I’m still developing my style."
Hardly a better advertisement
Naturally she has advisors to her side: a stylist, a starcoiffeur and a lady in waiting. An assistant provides suitable clothes for her - among others from the German label Hugo Boss. Through fashion advertisement she became attentive to a violet-grey patterned silk dress in the past year She has carried the dress in London during an opening of an exhibition.
Since then the contact exists they say in the company-center in Metzingen, probably knowing that there can be hardly a better advertisement. For the opening of the CIFF she wore a grey silk dress, and for a gala in Australia in the past week a white top - both from Hugo Boss.
Soup cover with feather-keel
The label represents like Prada a modern, independent woman. Prada is another favourite label of the lawyer. In order to take the wind from the sails of the critics, she carries also danish designers.
Nevertheless there are first voices, which accuse Mary, to visit too often fashion shows instead of dedicating herself to more royal tasks. Nevertheless one doesn’t have to fear that the princess will soon soup covers with feather-spring keel put over her head. That is past.

Don't be surprised if there's something different about Mary's accent, writes Deborah Smith.
She may be Australia's best-known export at the moment, but you wouldn't pick it from her accent.
Princess Mary's polished vowels, long pauses and Nordic lilt are in stark contrast to the fast, nasal patter of her Tasmania-dwelling sisters. But Australians should not be hurt or surprised by the transformation.
It's a common phenomenon linguists dub "communication accommodation".
Cynthia Gallois, director of the Centre for Social Research in Communication at the University of Queensland, said the change reflected Mary's strong desire to be embraced by the Danes.
And an Aussie flavour to her native tongue might return as she becomes more proficient in the notoriously difficult Danish language, rather than having to be understood in English.
Accents were developed by the age of about 12 and were strongly influenced by children's peer groups. But they were not fixed. And adjustments were most often made unconsciously, Professor Gallois said.

In the princess's case, "I wouldn't see it as a rejection of the Australian culture. Mary is morphing into a Dane and we have to let go of her."
Teresa Page, a personal development trainer in Sydney who taught the former real estate agent how to embrace the spotlight in a six-week course soon after she had met Prince Frederik in 2000, said Mary did not have a broad Australian accent to begin with. "It was more neutral."
Ms Page described her accent now as "regal", along with her style of standing and walking and the "energy" she exuded.
People with the desire and intelligence to change often modelled their movement, mannerisms and pronunciation on those they loved. "One of the greatest compulsions is to belong," Ms Page said. "It's a My Fair Lady story. A regal personality has been developed."
Princess Mary had undergone intensive schooling in the etiquette of the Danish court. However, there were many sides to the Australian's personality, which was why the prince fell in love with her, she said. "She has a very playful side, which is fun."
The trans-Pacific drawls of Rupert Murdoch and Greg Norman are other examples of communication accommodation. But it is not restricted to those moving into new cultures.
People who wanted to identify with a profession, social group or cult that had a particular communication style also changed their accents, as well as verbal mannerisms, choice of words and tone of voice, Professor Gallois said.
Even people going for jobs tended to change their accents during the interview to more closely match those of their potential bosses. "And counsellors do it quite often, as a way of putting a client at ease," she said.
Not everyone, however, had this ability.
"Some people have just got a tin ear, and with the best will in the world, will not be able to do it."
Alison Kimble, director of communication style training company ClearSpeak, said learning to speak slowly, lower the pitch and avoid a monotonous delivery could have a big impact. "You can change the image you project even though you are not saying anything different."
Professor Gallois said it was also common for people in a new culture to "diverge" rather than "converge" in speech, by emphasising their old accent. Young Australians in Britain often broadened their vowels and used more slang than usual "to show Australian solidarity".
She said communication accommodation could be used to improve understanding, for example, between police and the communities they were policing. But overdoing a new accent could backfire.

Royal makeovers will do that to you.
What I like about Mary is the fact she carries Danish designers so well, her stylist is a genius. Although I hear her popularity in Europe is not as good as everyone thinks, at least she's got good fashion stylists.
Hrmp, I'm not into her and I am a Dane. You should have seen how she looked like before her makeover. Of course she carries Danish designs, she have to, to make the people like her. As you know, the monarchy isn't necessary so their status is depended on their popularity.

She is so gorgeous. 
She has lost a lot a of weight since her early days with the prince but it really suits her, half her luck for keeping the weight off and looking so trim all the time.
I didn't realise she was so sporty, riding horses and playing golf, maybe that's how she stays so slim.
