Kate Middleton – The Nation’s New Style Icon?
Royal wedding fervor is gaining pace, and Kate Middleton is more and more in the spotlight than ever. Specifically, Kate Middleton as the nation’s beloved new style icon. Whether she likes it or not the bride-to-be is now on every fashion brand and editors’ radar, because, quite simply, she is good for sales – sales of the clothes she wears and the papers she’s pictured in. Take, for example, the recently re-issued Whistles ‘Kate’ blouse – the one she wore in the engagement photos; the sapphire engagement ring inspiring many a copycat; the ‘sold-out-in-a-day’ Burberry trench coat. What’s more Kate, her mother Carole and sister Pippa’s penchant for knee-high boots seems set to boost sales on this front too.
