One-Hit-Wonders & the Return of an Iconic Royal Fashion Item

Posted by admin

· November 5, 2020

I thought maybe we could all do with a little fashion distraction and have a look at a few one-hit-wonders, along with news about the return of a royal classic. But first, a couple of updates on Remembrance events.

Yesterday, the Duchess of Cornwall viewed the 92nd Field of Remembrance at Westminster Abbey.

Hello and welcome to a post filled with shimmering, glittering goodies, as we launch a new series covering the loaned jewelry pieces the Duchess wears.

I thought it would be fun to start with brooches, which is a manageable group. We begin with the first borrowed brooch we saw the Duchess wear, the Diamond Maple Leaf. Kate wore it with her Reiss dress for Canada Day engagements during the 2011 tour. (It is a little difficult to see on the ivory dress.)

We are back with a look at two designer collaborations, as well as spring 2018 styles from Roksanda and other tidbits we hope you find appealing.

We begin with the Erdem for H&M collection. It doesn’t launch until November 2, but it is a sizable collection offering 77 pieces of womenswear and 21 menswear styles. Many will find the price points for this collection more manageable than those seen for the Preen/LK Bennett collection, the other capsule line we’ll be viewing today.

Our first image shows Fan Bingbing wearing an Erdem for H&M dress in a picture the actress shared on Instagram.

We are back with word of several new engagements for Kate, as well as a few polls. First, a look at an updated version of Kate’s Calendar:

Sunday, February 5: Kate, William & Harry will take part in a Heads Together training day for the London Marathon. They will join 150 runners who are taking part in the Marathon. “The runners are fundraising for the eight Heads Together Charity Partners or the campaign itself and there will be a session to support their efforts in raising funds for the services and support giving vital help with mental health, day in, day out.”

Monday, February 6: As part of Children’s Mental Health Week Kate and William take part in an assembly at Mitchell Brook Primary School. The event is part of the Big Assembly, Place2Be’s effort asking schools across the UK to take part in sharing a little kindness with pupils, families, and staff. The couple will also present the first Place2Be Kindness Cup to a pupil “who has shown exceptional kindness in their school community and beyond.”

Monday, February 6: The Duke and Duchess and Prince Harry will attend a Guild of Health Writers conference. “The Duke and Duchess will meet members of the Guild of Health Writers, along with leaders of the Heads Together Charity Partners. After listening to the Heads Together runner speak at the conference, the Duke will give a short speech. The Duke and Duchess will then listen to the presentations of four experts on the conference theme.”

Sunday, February 12: The Duke and Duchess will attend the British Academy Film Awards; Prince William is BAFTA’s President. The ceremony will be broadcast on BBC One and red carpet arrivals will be live-streamed from 5 – 7 pm (Noon – 2 pm ET) on Facebook. Click here for more info on where the broadcast will be aired.

The BAFTA Awards will mean an evening gown for the Duchess. Many will remember the Alexander McQueen dress Kate wore when attending a 2011 BAFTA dinner in Los Angeles with Prince William.

That gives us a nice segue to our next poll as it focuses on formal styles worn by the Duchess in 2016.
