The famous Warm and Wonderful sheep sweater – now part of the Victoria & Albert Museum’s permanent collection – depicts a lone black sheep among a herd of white, and was interpreted as a sartorial message from the young Diana when she wore it shortly after her engagement to Prince Charles was announced.
Designed by Warm & Wonderful and sold originally in London, it was a favourite of the Sloane Ranger set in 1979-1980. The style spawned countless copies around the world. The sweater, below in the last photo is an original replica from the 1980’s in the color burgundy/plum.
