The "Kate Effect" on fashion is in full force as a first look at the Issa x Banana Republic collection is here. The collaboration includes a the familiar blue wrapdress inspired by the one Kate wore for her engagement photo. "We knew our customers would be thrilled to experience royal fashion at a Banana Republic price point," said Banana Republic creative director Simon Kneen.
Every dress here could easily be worn by the Duchess, who was kept in mind while this collection came together. "I love her youthful femininity," said Simon. "I find it very timeless in a modern way. We wanted to design a collection that was versatile but playful, with bold prints and feminine silhouettes."
