Kate Middleton has been an icon of fashion since she first appeared on the arm of the handsome English prince. Now in line to the throne, the Duchess has her pick of designers and fashion pieces from anywhere in the world. She may have been a college art student only a few years ago, but now she’s a fashion icon and maybe even the next Queen of England!

Kate Middleton doesn’t only influence the world of fashion because of her royal status - her likeability and approachability have a lot to do with it as well! Kate is a new kind of royal; a Duchess for the people. Much like Princess Diana before her, Kate lets people feel a real connection to her life through her fashion and style.

Anything Kate touches turns to “Sold Out”. Luckily, she’s a fan of some very affordable looks and pieces that any Londoner or international fan can get their hands on. She supports European designers both big and small. The Duchess often chooses to wear pieces by local designers to support her country’s fashion industry. She’s also known to re-wear pieces that she loves, instilling a sense of sustainability into the nation’s style.

Kate Middleton is influencing fashion in a whole new way. Her modern and classic style has filled her wardrobe with timeless pieces that will undoubtedly grace the pages of fashion history for years to come.
