Royal Family News – Who Dresses Kate?

What does the top flight designer think about the media associating her so strongly with the woman who will one day be queen consort?
Rich said, “I am super grateful. The buyers know the collection is bigger so it is fine that the public mostly knows the more conservative pieces. The Duchess of Cambridge is such a style icon, I can’t ever say I’m not thrilled she likes my clothes.”
The designer also went on to critique Kate’s evolving fashion sense. She noted, “I think Kate at 40 seems so much more confident than Kate at 20. I love my age. I love having clients who aren’t super young, because you know yourself better, you know what you want—this is true for everyone, so it must be true for the Duchess. I am just happy that what she wants at this stage of her life is my clothes.”

As Rich noted, her clothing line is diverse and the outfits Kate chooses befit the style of a princess. So it may surprise you to know that the line includes what he designer refers to as “naughty” elements.
According to her, all of the pieces, including the dresses that Kate wears, have a secret within. She said, “All my pieces are like this … They cover the arms or the legs, but there’s always a split somewhere or a body chain underneath. It is good to be a bit naughty.”
