She's shaping up to be as much as a fashion icon as William's mother – but while Diana will always be the People's Princess, Kate Middleton looks set to become the reigning Queen of the High Street.
Championing an accessible style that had previously eluded the Royal family, the new Duchess of Cambridge is making her mark as the most modern of princesses by dressing in a dazzling collection of non-designer outfits.
Credited with helping Britain's stricken retailers dig themselves out of the recession, from Warehouse and Whistles to Reiss and Jigsaw, Kate's High Street shopping haunts of choice are currently the biggest news in the non-designer fashion industry.
Dubbed ‘The Kate Effect', everything the new Duchess wears is transformed into fashion gold.Make is comparable history,christian louboutin high heel shoes it repeats itself and is inspired/copied. From the instant sellout Whistles blouse worn in the official engagement photos (which was then reissued and named ‘The Kate'), to the taupe Shola bandage dress worn last week to meet the Obamas, which crashed the Reiss website and sold out in less than 24 hours, K-Mid's midas touch is said to be worth millions.
And while the brands favoured by the Duchess are enjoying a renewed sales boost, other retailers are cashing in by producing lookalike items to copy her style. British supermarket giant Tesco have already created a doppelganger of the Reiss dress she wore to meet the Obamas for a fraction of the price, Debenhams Dhs35 replica engagement ring became its fastest selling piece of jewellery on record, while sales of short sleeved black dresses and brown bags rocketed by 90 and 60 per cent respectively following Kate's pre-wedding Chelsea shopping trip. Add that to unprecedented increase in summer sales of black knee high boots, a Kate staple, and the Duchesses' fashion gravitas is undeniable.You can find out history about Air max 360 as well as release dates at Nice Kicks.
