Kate the glamorous princes has impressed fashion watchers with her choice of international designers on the royal tour to Canada. For Canada Day on Friday, she was in her formal attire, wearing the cream Reiss dress she wore for her engagement and a specially designed red hat decorated with maple leaves. Kate is proving to be an emissary for British fashion, merging popular high street chains (the Reiss dress, shoes from both Hobbs and LK Bennett) and high-end luxury brands (a navy leather tote from Mulberry and a fan clutch bag from Anya Hindmarch).Her wardrobe for the tour has clothing from designers actually arriving from France, Canada, and Brazil. Her decision to wear the Queen’s own diamond, maple-leaf brooch sent out a strong message. It was a nod to Canada and an acknowledgment that Catherine is part of this historic family and that whichever corner of the world she now travels to, she is representing Her Royal Highness.
