The Legend on Lexington
When Queen Elizabeth Went to Bloomie’s
Candy Pratts Price: In 1976, Queen Elizabeth came for the bicentennial. We did a window for the Royal Highness. All the designers did tartans. I learned that the queen could not disembark from a car on the left. We had to change the flow of traffic on Lexington Avenue for her.
Donna Karan: It was August and we had to do a dress rehearsal where they instructed us on the rules. You couldn’t pick your head up until she put her hand out. You had to wear a hat and gloves. A hat and gloves is not exactly my look. Still, I took the subway from Seventh Avenue to Bloomingdale’s, and I stood all the way because it was hot and I didn’t want to get wrinkled. On the way up there someone on the train turned to me and said, “You look like you’re meeting the queen of England.” Well, guess what?
Michael Kors: You know what is so New York? People could say, “I got off the train today and ran into Bloomingdale’s, and, oh, by the way, the queen was there.” They didn’t even close the store!
