| book description |

This book offers an unprecedented exploration of a remarkable historical figure, Queen Marie of Romania, through the unique lens of her fashion, style, and jewelry. By situating Queen Marie's fashion within the broader historical and political context, Queen Marie of Romania's Fashion, Diplomacy, and Enduring Legacy provides a comprehensive understanding of her role in Romanian society, her personality, and her broader impact on European culture and politics. This book is not just a biography; it's a study of the interplay between fashion, politics, and culture in the early 20th century. It highlights the significance of fashion and jewelry as tools of soft power and diplomacy, offering insights into the intersections between personal style, literary and artistic expressions, and historical roles. The interdisciplinary nature of this book integrates insights from history, art history, fashion studies, and cultural studies. It is grounded in extensive archival research, including Queen Marie's personal diaries, letters, memoirs, and photographs, complemented by material culture analysis of surviving garments and jewelry.
