REVENGE OF THE SLOANE RANGER!

  REVENGE OF THE SLOANE RANGER! By Karen

With wedding fever sweeping the nation, it’s about time we dedicated a blog slot to our favourite princess to be Kate Middleton.

Over the last few years we have seen our sloaney ducking turn into a designer swan, with a little bit of help from her (designer) friends of course.

Long gone are the calf high LK Bennet boots - although saying that, sales of this style of boot (circa 1984) have reportedly dramatically increased since Miss Middleton has been in the spot light.

The “Middleton Mane” has also undergone a bit of a make over too, instead of the more natural and slightly rough round the edges brunette mane, Kate’s glossy and coiffed barnet is enough to give Cheryl Cole a run for her money when securing the next L’Oreal “Coz she’s worth it….” Campaign.

Further more a £650 pounds Burberry Trench that she wore on a public outing, sold out across the country in less than twenty-four hours. Chris Bailey must have been jumping for joy and rubbing his hands with glee at the thought of the Burberry chequered revenue resulting from Miss Middleton’s’ appearance!

The cobalt blue Issa dress that we saw her wear when making the speech to the nation confirming their engagement saw the High Street in a frenzy copying it within days.

Indeed, “our” Kate is already commanding a rather die-hard following in the fashion stakes, and her pulling power has already been coined as “The Kate Factor”.

You can imagine the designers lining up in the hope of dressing that slender racehorse body of hers!

You only have to look at Diana, to see what marrying into the royal circles did for her sense of style…

Even with our favourite fashion fairy Godmother Vivienne Westwood’s  recent criticisms of Kate’s style, this still hasn’t put a dampener on the fashion mantle already being laid out for her!

And for those of you that don’t know…after being asked if she would like to design Kate’s dress, Dame Viv answered by saying ‘I would have loved to have dressed Kate Middleton but I have to wait until she kind of catches up a bit somewhere with style”

…OUCH!

But I have a strong suspicion that Miss Middleton’s transformation has only just begun, and with access to any designer in the world, and an army of advisors and stylists at the helm, its only a matter of time before she becomes as polished as “Posh” (Yes, I’m talking about our very own fashion royalty, Mrs Beckham!)

If William was able to fall for her modelling that GOD AWFUL dress ( or was it a bin bag made of cling film?) at a college charity ball all those years ago, then I think we can safely say, he’s a man easily pleased!

As for the wedding dress, rumour has it that “yawnsville” design duo “Libilula” are designing it…god help us! zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

NOOOOOOOOO!

Kate, come ON!!! You have the worlds fashion elite at your fingertips…

Don’t let us down, throw off those Sloaney shackles once and for all….

We want frills, spills, big hair and glamour GALORE on the day…not a “safe” little number that your “mates” designed for you.

Don’t let us down girlfriend!!! We’ve taken the day off and everything! J
