Catarina of Braganza and the most...
Catherine introduced the custom of drinking tea in England, a custom that was already very popular among the Portuguese nobility at the time. The tea had been imported to Portugal from the Portuguese possessions in Asia as well as through the trade Portuguese merchants maintained with China and Japan.
This was the queen that brought silks, tea time, spices and short hair style into european courts. She invented new sleeves shapes and refused to wear wigs. The true inspiration for my dresses.
Catarina was from the House Of Branganza (Portugal) and married Charles II of England.
