Kate Middleton, knowing the brands she wears today will be more difficult

Elegant even when dressed casual, refined, always impeccable and with the aplomb worthy of a future queen consort. That Kate Middleton is a style icon is a fact, but even more amazing is his powerful influence in the fashion industry. A topic of discussion since her entry into the royal family, the impact of the Princess of Wales’ looks would now seem to have become even more cause for dispute: as reported by the Anglo-Saxon tabloid Express, Kensington Palace insiders reportedly began refusing to share details and branding of her outfits.

The reason for the decision would lie in the too much media attention that the press is reserving for the looks of Prince William’s wifewhen the focus of his institutional outings should instead be the reason for his presence at a specific event.

In the past, details and brands worn by her in particularly glamorous circumstances have always been communicated by Kensington Palace, with the exception of less formal occasions that leave room for casual clothes. The alleged decision of the Windsor house makes one wonder what she will change, if that were the case.

If it is true that the more you deny something, the more you want it, expect Kate’s hunt for favorite brands to get even more brazen.

Meanwhile, Kate Middleton he will continue to give us style lessons with his royal looks, also mixing presumably unattainable pieces with low cost clothes.

It is precisely in anticipation of the latter that the so-called “Kate effect” is already around the corner together with the sold out phenomenon, to which the Princess of Wales will be no stranger. Already in 2012, the then US President of the English brand LK Bennet, Tony DiMasso, declared that «whatever you are wearing, this always seems to end up on a waiting list».

In the specific case of LK Bennet, an English brand that Kate often showed off, the Princess of Wales’s contribution would have gone far beyond just conveying purchasing choices in the United Kingdom. The biography The Duchess of Cambridge by Bethan Holt reports a statement from Tony DiMasso himself a The Guardian, in which she explains how Kate was helpful in introducing LK Bennet to the US market as well: «Kate Middleton is an elegant woman, she wears our shoes and dresses very well and the American public is infatuated with her. She certainly helped us, being new to the American market.’
