It appears (she) only does international haute couture. A lot of people on this Board might even suggest no local brands could be up to scratch to the esteemed Duchess and the profile of the engagements she is carrying out. Clearly these must be pioneering engagements not carried out by any royal lady previously!
Whatever you think about international haute couture which includes more than one UK fashion house, it is unnecessary to denigrate Meghan herself as hating on her has nothing to do with fashion, so I find your sarcasm unnecessary and rude.
Well, I expect that many members of the Great British Public have similar hopes and interests to the majority of us on this board. We hope to see a lot of the Duchess in lovely outfits; we hope to see her marriage and family life succeed on a grand scale; and we are interested in her ability to achieve positive results in the work she and her husband carry out.
I imagine the people of Hull feel the same way. Very few are going to turn against Harry and his happiness over a fashion issue.
And it’s early days to get too outraged over something so minor.
Yes, most certainly is. Constructive criticism of Meghan's fashion choices are interesting, make you think about things you hadn't thought of till then and is both interesting and fun. Sarcasm and dire predictions of being drummed out of popularity because of that fashion is a bit OTT. I think it is worth noting she has only been married two months not two years.
We live in an ever-diminishing global world where merchandising, including fashion, grows more complicated by the day. We have NZ designers living in London and UK designers living in NY and France, and so on.
When HM and Princess Margaret were young they wore the great designers of the world and no one certainly, no UK citizen, wanted them wearing High Street clothes on the international stage. They were proud of the BRF and took pride in their representing the UK and the Commonwealth.
The situation is much more difficult these days. "Flying the Flag" is code for "Buy British" and that is not as easy as it sounds. McQueen is now owned by a French company so what is the difference between buying clothes designed by a UK designer at McQueen or a UK designer at Givenchy. Unless someone investigates the ownership or shareholding in fashion, how do we know what other foreign interests are involved in both the high fashion houses and the High Street?
I think Meghan, at two months into her marriage, is doing pretty well. I think perhaps she finds it a little difficult to source her own particular style as "fashion" is ever changing and the clothes that the Royals wear tend to be classics in their particular style. It is worth noting that with the passing of the Queen's premier designer Norman Hartnell, her wardrobe is 99% Angela Kelly and her in-house wardrobe department, although she still sports many well-known milliners creations and her ubiquitous Launer handbags.
I am not sure what designers Camilla is fond of, except of course, for her magnificent millinery.
But right now, I am enjoying the joie de vivre that Meghan and Harry are bringing us as newlyweds and the sartorial difference Meghan brings and the equally subtle sartorial changes in Harry's wardrobe.
