# Dapper Monarchical Captures Windsor Dressing by Tom Munro Rekindles a Love Affair By Amelia Roblin | Published 2011-08-14 | Luxury Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/windsor-dressing-by-tom-munro References: [fashionising](http://www.fashionising.com/pictures/b--A-beautiful-facade-Madonnas-WE-in-Vanity-Fair0-8441.html) & [tommunro](http://www.tommunro.com/photography) Whether you have high hopes or not for the upcoming Madonna movie 'W.E,' Windsor Dressing by Tom Munro shows that the costumes are sure to impress. This collection of elegant film stills chronicles scenes from the luxurious life of King Edward VIII and his beloved Wallis Simpson. The pair, who later assume the titles of Duke and Duchess of Windsor are played by the debonair James D'Arcy and the graceful Andrea Riseborough. The talented Arianne Phillips designed the stately and sophisticated ensembles that define posh in mid-20th century England. It's perhaps not surprising that these polished pictures have found a place within Vanity Fair. Lensed in the beautifully landscaped West Wycombe House in Buckinghamshire, Windsor Dressing by Tom Munro is a ravishing snapshot into royal history. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 63% | Activity: 36% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxury) > [Luxury Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxuryfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Luxury Film Costumes:** A trend of creating luxurious and sophisticated costumes for film productions that depict the luxurious life of former royals. - **Historical Fashion Photography:** A trend for photographers to create collections of historical fashion pieces in stunning still photography. - **Mid-20th Century Fashion:** A trend of using mid-20th century fashion as inspiration for creating sophisticated and sleek designs. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Film Industry:** This industry can leverage the trend of creating luxurious costumes for films to create captivating and immersive experiences for viewers. - **Photography Industry:** This industry can explore the trend of capturing stunning still photography of historical fashion to showcase unique art pieces. - **Fashion Industry:** This industry can draw inspiration from the mid-20th century fashion trend to create sophisticated and sleek designs that appeal to a modern audience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Holiday-Inspired Evening Wear Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcqueen-holiday-2025.md) - [Royal Garden-Inspired Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burberry-3.md) - [Refined Vintage Militaristic Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-nicholson-fw25.md) - [High-End Bridal Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vivienne-westwood-bridal-couture.md) - [Holiday Gown Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nana-jacqueline.md) - [Cinematic Thriller-Inspired Runways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jw-anderson-fw-2024.md) - [Pre-Fall Romantic Luxe Outerwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/london-a-love-affair.md) - [Statement-Making Fall Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025.md) - [Cinematic Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles.md)
