A tribute to themost loveliest, kindest,calmest, caring, sweetest, cutest, adorable Australian fashion designer. My number 1 favourite fashion designer, lady Dale Tryon barroness Tryon also known as Kanga.
Which she said herself I the autralian. Womens weekly 1977 to Lana Wells; “prince Charles calls me kanga it’s my husband’s nickname for me and I call him Ant.
In England everyone calls me that.”
Born Dale Elizabeth Harper, 3rd January 1948. First of three children to a wealthy printing magnitude owner.
Dale’s early childhood was on irons, and she did not defeat or overcome perthes disease and spina bifida. According to many health care information sheets on perthes disease and spina bifida, perthes disease can affect mainly boys then girls around age 4 to 12 and comes with mobility issues specifying more in the hips.
Excercise and diet is recommended, and this what Dale did joining many social clubs and sports clubs during her school years I the 1960s, even enjoying some quality time after school and work at nightclubs.
Her early twenties late 196os, she worked as a fashioneditor for the Australian women’s. Weekly, later she relocated to London to work for the same magazine in their London office in fleet street.
This how she met her best friend and soulmate Lord Anthony Tryon 3rd Baron. It was an instant match, the pair called each other Ant and Kanga. They welcomed four lovely healthy children the honourable Zoe Tryon, Charles Tryon later 4th baron, (2018). And her honourable twins victoria and Edward Tryon.
It is mentioned, by kanga herself that after the birth of her twins, she struggled quiet but with her mobility.
However, it did not stop the fashion queen of my 💓 heart to assist American born, Hong Kong based designer Diane Frais, it is said kanga loved the elasticated waist a dbold colorful dresses, she even once before her marriage, on a strict budget to buy something from yves saint Laurent, in later Interview in 1992 she mentioned how find she was of Yves saint Laurent designs the texture, colour and shape.
This is why she also became Diane frais fashion agent In the early 1980s after meeting her at a stop iver in Hong Kong, took around 20 dresses with her back to London set up her own boutique and sold quite well. The following year In 1983, she started her own fashion corture dale Tryon collection, kanga collection which sold mainly Diane frais designs and her own inspired by Diane frais.
Kanga gave her support to number of charities including SANE both for the UK and australia, where she was the chair woman of.
Later after her tragic fall out from farm clinic rehab window the inspire foundation.
She also helped a lot of fashion charities and supported may fashion designers mainly the Independant ones.
Also about Kanga’s schooling she said herself attending lauriston school for girls, not timbertop feeling grammer school, the the prince of Wales now king Charles did. But not kanga.
Even Kanga’s brother Derek harper said she did not meet Charles in 1966 and kanga herself denied, until during her last days where she wasn’t feeling well mentally and physically.
It is against the law to use someone words whilst they where not in the right state of mind.
She has complication of bedsides which she wanted to treat after he trip to Australia to see her mother in Melbourne her home town, not Sydney for Diana’s memorial as an Australian financial source claims. Why would Dale Tryon mourn of someone who was never close to her and she did not know.
Yes my darling designer and fashion queen had a huge, gigantic big heart of gold for everyone, but not everyone turned that love and kindness, certainly not Diana, some sources suggest Diana did not get along with any woman close to Charles.
In last article I mentioned how Dale Tryon is my fashion best friend and soulmate/sister, never Diana’s, they never had a connection my darling designer needed a fashion promotion and thought Diana would be a good example when she met her at lunch at San Lorenzo which as opposite her boutique.
My darling designer, Fashionqueen died on. The 15th November 1997 after contracting septicemia after undergoing treatment in India.
She forever be the queen of ymheart, Diana mentioned in an Interview she antes to be the queen of peoples heart now many use that, however, Diana never will be the queen of my heart as I saved that position for my darling designer my fashion queen.
