Duchess of Cambridge designer favorite comes to L.A.
American fans of the Duchess of Cambridge’s lengthy, lean coats and slim-tailored hacking jackets can now get the royal therapy themselves. Katherine Hooker, the London-based fashion designer who has worked with her since 2005, back when she was Kate Middleton, is holding her initial Los Angeles trunk shows.
Sept. 6 and 7, she’ll be taking up residence at the London Hotel in West Hollywood, appropriately sufficient, showcasing designs such as the tailored-but-feminine Buxton coat (above, middle), worn by the Duchess to the Order of the Garter ceremony at Windsor Palace in June. (The coat is paired with Hooker’s matching Scout dress.)
The Duchess chose to maintain the ensemble monochrome, in dove gray. But the thing about Hooker’s designs is that they are all individual. Each piece is created by hand in England, so Hooker will come armed with hundreds of swatches, buttons and trims, tweeds, silks, linens and cashmeres, to decide on from. Clothing, $ 860 to $ 1,200, takes four to six weeks to complete.
