沃克的特殊才能——同时深深地吸引了戴安娜王妃和凯特王妃——是她做出的衣服显示的是女性而不是服装。戴安娜的服装虽然有点大胆，却不失高贵——即使是和查尔斯离婚后。 她的服装展示的是风格而不是时尚，无论是质地还是剪裁都是一流的。 2010年凯瑟琳去世后，她的第二任丈夫和商业伙伴赛义德•伊斯梅尔继续经营她的时装店。卡罗尔•米德尔特（凯特的母亲）选择凯瑟琳的时装店为参加凯特和威廉的皇室婚礼制作浅蓝色的衣裙，也是情理之中。 显然就在皇室婚礼那天，沃克的服装店赢得了米德尔顿的忠诚。乔治接受洗礼的那天，卡罗尔又穿着凯瑟琳•沃克的服装。 不久以后凯特也爱上了沃克品牌，首次去加拿大时，就选择这个牌子，为自己做了两套令人赞不绝口的衣服。 Walker’s particular talent - and one which will appeal to Kate as much as it did Diana - was for making outfits that showed off the woman rather than the frock. They were dignifed yet - particularly post Charles and Diana’s divorce - more than a little daring. Her clothes are statements of style rather than fashion, and the fabric and cut are always perfect. So it shouldn’t have been that much of a surprise when Carole Middleton chose the fashion house, run since Catherine’s death in 2010 by her second husband and business partner, Sayeed Ismail, to make her triumphant pale blue coat and dress for the Royal Wedding. The House of Walker clearly won Middleton loyalty on that day. Carole wore Catherine Walker again to George’s christening. It wasn’t long before Kate turned to Walker too, choosing the label to make two stunning outfits for her first official trip to Canada. |
