Sarah Burton and the Princess of Wales couldn’t be more different. But they bonded over a shared taste for the understated-yet-stately.
Superficially, Sarah Burton and the Princess of Wales couldn’t be more different. Catherine is one of the world’s most photographed women who, in the 12 years since she married Prince William, has become increasingly sure-footed in her role as a public figure.
It’s clear that over the years the blonde, ethereal, middle-class Burton and the sporty, middle-class Princess have bonded. Burton’s discretion earned Catherine’s eternal gratitude. That the two also have a similar taste for the understated-yet-stately is obvious. The lace wedding dress, with its impeccable embroidery would come to exemplify both women’s respect for British history and craft.
Burton admitted that she had been forced to confront her tendency to introversion. “There have been times when, if I could have disappeared from this industry, I would have,” she said. “I had to battle with it. I don’t look like a fashion person. I’m not cool, and I always just loved people who are good at what they do.”
On the other hand, all parties might be ready for a change. The clamour for Louis Vuitton accessories after Pharrell Williams’s debut menswear show for the brand has reminded executives everywhere of the power of loudhailer tactics. And while there can be no better advert for traditional glamour than the princess, other brands generally have a number of ambassadors who can appeal to different tastes.“Kate’s such an icon but it’s limiting,” says Fflur Roberts, head of luxury at euromonitor.com.
