Kate Middleton
Here is our pick of women who we think are influential and noteworthy in the industry. Whether they are a Princess, pop queen or a fashionista their work and messages are something definitely worth talking about.
It’s called the “Kate Middleton Effect” for a reason. Anything Kate wears will sell out instantly. Although Kate was in the public eye for many years as the girlfriend of Prince William, the effect began after the announcement of the couple’s engagement in November 2010. Kate was also seen on Vogue UK’s May 2016 issue. This was for their 100-year anniversary. This is because of how influential Kate is in the fashion industry and how she affects the trends for each season. She is seen as an icon and being on this iconic Vogue issue shows how much she influences what goes on in fashion.
