It's not a chanel. I remember it's a danish designer, but I simply can't remember the name. Sorry...

[Chatleen]

I think, is is a 'Celli Freifeldt', but I am not 100% sure.

[MarieLouise]

The name of the designer is Kenth Fredin.

yes...it was indeed a beautiful look..that coat. I thought it made the outfit! The dress I didn't particularily like, but it served its purpose.

I love coats like that...sigh..I even own a couple myself..
I am just saving up for some Italian shoes to really spoil myself!

I think Mary definitely isn't shy to wear her 'own' style in fashion.
She knows what shes comfortable in and she wears it well.

[hillary_nugent]

Mary has funky jewellery ^_____^

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[missally]

Mary has the most style of all the European royalty. She is contemporary and never dowdy. She is definitely a leader in fashion.

Maybe you haven't seen the rest of the European royalty. I think the swedish princesses are a better dresser than Mary.

[Alisa]

Maybe it is a matter of personal taste. :P

Yes, we do have differences of tastes but saying that Mary is definitely leader in fashion is another story - either omit the world definitely or add IMO :flower:

I think its one thing to criticise someone, but another thing to say "I like this person". I think as long as its not a bad thing, then one is free to say "she most definitely is", because as we all know, most of us aren't expressing facts, just opinion.

How many say "Letizia has the most beautiful bone structure" or "Alex is the most wonderful princess" or "maxima is the most friendliest" etc??? That's all ok!!!! Everthing we say here is a matter of opinion, but as long as its a praise as oppose to a criticism, then it ought to be left alone. But suddenly because it's Mary, then it has to be preceded with an "IMO"??

I also don't think its fair to say "maybe yout haven't seen the other princesses".... I'm pretty sure all posters in this board (containing as it does, pictures of princesses from other royal houses) have seen teh other princesses. I think in taht remark there's a big intention there to say "well you can't see properly if you've reached that conclsion!". Its kinda harsh IMO.

I didn't make that rule - just because it is Mary.

That's how I reacted with this.. sorry...

[Jasl]

I'm sorry too :flower: .

I think it is kind of hard when a someone you don't like as much (you don't even have to dislike them or hate them, just that you don't think as much of that person as others do) is being praised constantly by others. I mean I'm not saying that you necessarily despise Mary... but the constant praise for one can, funnily enough, turn one against that person. Sometimes you just feel like saying "ok shut up already! I get the point. Don't belabour it because I dont even agree with it!! taht person you're talking about is NOT ALL THAT!! " :P (sheez... alright, that's my frustration coming out )

I presuming that that's the case with you I suppose (if its not then just ignore this rambling post&#33.

But I suppose we all have to keep repeating to ourselves "everyone has different opinions, everyone has different opinions" everytime we see a post we don't like, or else we'll just really stress ourselves out! :P

[sarkastik_devil]

as some of you would know. i like mary.

so, everytime if i see a thread saying negative things about her,or comparing her to other princess' , i just ignored them.

Because, as Jasl, so brilliantly put it, people have different opinions on things.
different strokes for different people, i guess.

well, that's just how i look at things :P and in order for me not getting worked up on such things as trivial as this. i just don't let it get to me.
:flower:

[Fashionista100]

I really think Mary has the best style of all the European Princesses. I would love to have her clothes. Mary is the princess I can relate to the most. But as Jasl said it is a matter of personal opinion.

I am also glad to see the board up again. {Deleted comments regarding another message board.}

I agree with you Fashionista on everything. And to get back on topic I would like to ad that Marys style fit the style of many of the danish girl, she has often worn danish designers (not all the time...). But everything she wears is something we danish girls admire - Sorry to speak for everyone, I know their is propably also different opinions on this in Denmark aswell, but at least the danish girls I know also admire her style very much. Yeah Mary!!!! :P

I agree with you, and actually I have had the same thoughts.

CPM very quickly adopted the danish fashionstyle, which I think is a bit more casual and "luxury-bohemian" than a more international style.

But I must admit, that I really love, when she wears the more classic style. I think that the suit, she wore of the day of the engagement, has been the best suit up to this day.

And a bit off topic: I also have learned to prefer LTR because of what I would call a nicer tone here. There has to be room for criticism and differences in opinion, but it gets tiring when all the debate is about being mean towards one person. I was disappointed yesterday though. I don't think, it was right to close this board. Instead the members, who aren't following the rule, should have been banned.

I only post here at LTR too, because it's a nicer tone. People have opinions and favorites, but they are not nasty. That "other" board is nasty to Mary--or was--I haven't looked at a Mary realted post there for so much time I don't know if it's changed. I have made no secret that Mary is not my favorite, but she's a nice girl with lots of fine qualities and there is nothing at all to be mean about, toward her or any of the new princess consorts.

Since we are taking about mary's fashion here is a link about the man who gives her fashion Danish designer Uffe Frank. He talks about Mary and making the wedding dress.

Does anyone know the source - www.fashionweekdaily.com? It really seems so odd, that the designer would give such statements.

If he really said this, I doubt that he would ever get a job for the danish royal family again.
