FASHION NEWS
This week, the Duchess of Cambridge debuted a new label, Saloni. It is a London based contemporary womenswear brand founded by Indian-born designer, Saloni Lodha in 2011. The brand subtly draws on Saloni’s Indian heritage, re-interpreting prints, silhouette and colour in a modern way.
The addition of Saloni to Kate's repertoire of designers is perhaps a nod to the Cambridge's upcoming royal tour of India in 2016. I suspect Kate is doing her research on designers connected to the subcontinent. Here are some other pieces from Saloni's collection which I think echo Kate's style and perhaps we will see on the tour.
COLLAGES BY KATIE
I have teamed up with Katie from one of my favourite Duchess-inspired Instagram accounts @KateMidleton. The account is filled with fun facts and intriguing information, but what I particularly love are Katie's collages. She creates an informative series of collages related to Catherine's sartorial choices. I have teamed up with Katie to reproduce the collages, and each week I'll be sharing one in the newsletter.
This week, we take a look at Kate's least expensive headwear.
