Catherine Walker
Though my ever-clever colleague Adam Tschorn riffed on what Kate Middleton won't be wearing to her wedding (skorts,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], jorts,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], lederhosen?), am going get back to real business of continuing to about she be wearing. A gown,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], yes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but designed by whom? On I looked at the dark horses. Today,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], size up traditionalists.
Bruce Oldfield: The rumors about Oldfield became feverish in January when Kate Middleton's mother,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Carole, and sister Pippa were photographed leaving the designer's posh London boutique. In business for more than 30 years,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Oldfield was a go-to designer for Princess Diana in the 1980s,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], before her marriage broke up and she began asserting her fashion independence wearing such big-name international labels as Versace and Valentino. it comes to bridalwear,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], style is often described as traditional,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he seems quite capable of variety of including socialite Jemima Khan clingy ankle-length skirt and tailored blazer in 1995 and Samantha Cameron lace column and veil in 1996.
He wouldn't be a sexy choice for Middleton,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but he would be a safe one. (Oldfield has also dressed Camilla,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the Duchess of Cornwall,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Middleton's future stepmother-in-law.) And early on,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a lot was made of his silence on the subject of the gown ("showing the restraint necessary for a royal wedding,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," according to a story in the Daily Mail in January).
But since then he's opened his mouth on several occasions,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], including on "Good Morning America" in February. When Kate debuts her gown,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it's going to be a "nightmare,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," were his words. So odds are Oldfield's out,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], although he could certainly be dressing the mother-of-the-bride,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which seems more like his demo anyway.
Catherine Walker: Kate Middleton is already wearing the late Princess Diana ring, so why not a dress by one of her favorite designers?
Although Walker in 2010,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], her namesake label lives on under the name Catherine Walker Co. And it would be quite a tribute to William late mother for Middleton to choose the house to create her French-born designer,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who founded her label in 1977, created more than 1,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],000 outfits for Diana the princess lifetime. And in 1997,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Diana was buried in a black Catherine Walker dress.
Walker was known for staying out of the spotlight,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], even hiring a press officer during the height of the Diana years to keep her name out of the papers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], according to the London Telegraph.
That legacy of discretion continues today,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which could make label attractive,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], almost anti-fashion Still,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I betting Middleton will want to make her own mark and be more forward-looking and less morbid.
Elizabeth Emanuel: She and then-husband David designed Princess Diana famously frothy wedding gown in 1981,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], at the height-of- romanticism. And though the Emanuels divorced in 1990,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Elizabeth has continued to under her own name and that of her label,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the Art of Being. Another interesting factoid? She was commissioned by Elizabeth Taylor create wardrobe promote White Diamonds perfume.
Emanuel designs pared down nowadays,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but I her out based on behavior. has royal-wedding T-shirts for sale through Monday night,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], just days before the down with CNN Piers Morgan discuss her predictions for the big reveal. Enough said.
