[However, David and Elizabeth Emanuel recently went to court over a sketch of Princess Diana's wedding dress designed by the former couple in 1981.

The two released a statement on October 18 announcing that the lawsuit had been settled “amicably,” with Elizabeth praising her ex-husband's role in their past successes.

“During our time together, David and I created many of the most famous garments of the 20th century. David has contributed greatly to the success of the Emanuel Partnership and I look forward to us overcoming our recent disagreements and continuing our respective careers."
