Designer for Kate Middleton’s Royal Wedding revealed
Sophie Cranston chosen as designer for Kate Middleton’s wedding dress
The Royal Wedding at London’s historic Westminster Abbey is just around the corner and the buzz anticipating the future bride’s wedding dress has been deafeningly increasing as the big day approaches on April 29.
The St. James Palace has remained mum about the designer of Kate Middleton’s wedding gown.
"We are not being drawn on any speculation on the wedding and cannot comment," a palace spokesman was quoted as saying by the Huffington Post when asked about the wedding dress’s designer.
But an unidentified source told Yvonne Yorke of the Huffington Post that Sophie Cranston of Libélula won the coveted job of designing the royal dress for the big day.
This is not the first time that Kate is wearing a Cranston Creation. According to Huffington Post, Kate was photographed stepping out to a friend’s wedding in Yorkshire early this year wearing a ‘vintage-inspired, Libelula black velvet dress coat with a diamante clasp’.
Cranston has been dressing Kate and other Middletons since she established Libélula in 2002. Other celebrities she has reportedly impressed with her designs include Emma Watson, Jerry Hall and writer Celia Warden. Warden said Huffington Post walked the aisle in a Libélula gown when she married CNN host, Piers Morgan.
Sophie Cranston has a Designer of the Year Award at London's Graduate Fashion Week in 1999 to her credit. She was also honed by Alexander McQueen before she established the Temperley label in 2000 with Alice Temperley.
