The Middleton brand soldiers on, and it looks like a juggernaut.
“Brand Middleton is a powerful product with theoretically limitless potential, but paradoxically, perhaps the greatest appeal of Kate and Pippa is their resolute refusal to succumb to the temptations and trappings of fashion and celebrity,” says Belinda White, the Telegraph’s fashion editor.
In other words, Middleton squared keep it simple. Both Catherine and Pippa favor classic, clean looks and have been credited for bringing back sensible hems, stylish blazers, and elegant sleeves. Catherine, as Duchess of Cambridge and a new royal role model, has seen copies of her outfits sell out in shops in a matter of minutes.
Big sister’s magic has most certainly shimmered down onto the shoulders of younger sister Pippa, who is taking full advantage of her new socialite status. Despite the media fawning over her clothing, well-honed derriere, and now her marital prospects, Pippa continues to keep it classic. Take the recent Wimbledon outing: a simple red linen dress. What about her post-Royal Wedding ensemble? Pippa emerged from the Goring Hotel wearing slim white jeans with a bright blue blazer from Zara. Nothing gaudy for the Middleton sisters, who look like they have a bright future as style guides to reel in a somewhat lost generation who has been besieged by the likes of Katy Perry, Kerry Katona, and Kim Kardashian.
May Brand Middleton outlive them all.
