What Kate will be wearing this winter

Kate's favourite designer Jenny Packham wowed onlookers at New York Fashion Week with her regal new collection.

The Duchess of Cambridge’s favourite designer Jenny Packham has showed her elegant autumn/winter collection at New York Fashion Week to rave reviews.

Packham’s latest collection will no doubt be a hit with the 32-year-old Duchess of Cambridge, who wowed in a custom-made floor length navy gown by the designer at a black tie gala event London on Tuesday night.

Over the years Kate has become the brand’s most famous customer. The royal has chosen to sport the British label on countless notable occasions including the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee tour, the 60th Anniversary of the Queen’s coronation and Prince George’s first photo opportunity.

Packham says she channelled the psychedelic style of Bianca Jagger to inspire her opulent retro collection.

Her eponymous label is not just a hit with the young royals – A-list celebs like Kiera Knightley, Cameron Diaz and Beyoncé have all been spotted in the successful independent label.

While beautiful and elegant, Packham’s garments don’t come cheap- one must be willing to part with upwards of $4000 to get their hands on some of the designs.
