We are back with the portion of our look at two inter-related topics: runway shows and modifications made to Kate’s clothing, be they off the rack styles, or runway pieces.

In a February story for the Washington Post, Pulitzer Prize-winning fashion critic Robin Givhan articulates what many of us have thought after seeing video or photos from a runway show.
