Princess Diana remains a style icon to this day, and now travellers can channel the royal\u2019s 1990s style with a reimagining of a special jumper she was often photographed wearing.<\/p>\n

Virgin Atlantic\u00a0has released its first-ever lifestyle range for travellers<\/strong>, with items in the range including a travel tote, flight bag, passport holder and luggage tag in the airline\u2019s signature shade of red. All items may just be the perfect gift for your travel-loving friends<\/strong>. However, arguably one of the most exciting items in the range is a reimagine of the famous Virgin Atlantic sweatshirt gifted to Princess Diana by Sir Richard Branson.<\/p>\n

The \u201cFly Atlantic\u201d sweater, emblazoned with a Virgin Atlantic emblem, was often worn by Princess Diana, coupled with a pair of her iconic cycling shorts, when she was photographed by paparazzi.<\/p>\n

According to insiders, the Princess chose to wear the sweater so often in a bid to put photographers off taking yet another photograph of her in the same outfit. Ahead of the 2019 auction of the sweatshirt, Princess Diana\u2019s personal trainer, Jenni Rivett explained: \u201cThis sweatshirt was given to HRH by Sir Richard Branson.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt became her most worn top on her regular visits to the gym. She felt there were far more important issues to focus on in the world than her gym attire and therefore decided that wearing the famous Virgin sweatshirt to every session would be a good way to stop the media frenzy.”<\/p>\n

The garment eventually sold at auction for over \u00a340,000. Although the new sweatshirt released in the Virgin Atlantic range is not the exact same as the one worn by Princess Diana, the sweatshirts have been heavily inspired by her iconic look.<\/p>\n

All jumpers are emblazoned with artwork from the first\u00a0Virgin\u00a0Atlantic A330neo aircrafts and travellers can choose between Billie Holiday, Queen of the Skies and Rain Bow all of which are names of\u00a0Virgin\u00a0Atlantic planes. The Rain Bow jumper shows the LGBTQ+ icon Oscar, who features on the side of\u00a0Virgin\u00a0Atlantic\u2019s \u2018Rain Bow\u2019 plane.<\/p>\n
