As the excitement of newborn Prince George winds down, the "Kate Effect" on fashion continues with Banana Republic and Issa London launching a new "royal" collection. The Issa x Banana Republic collection features Kate-esque looks, including a blue wrap-dress inspired by Duchess' engagement dress. The collection is a great blend of Banana Republic's versatile heritage and Issa London's bold yet sophisticated African safari prints, with every dress designed as if Kate would wear them herself.
"I love her youthful femininity," said Banana Republic creative director Simon Kneen, "I find it very timeless in a modern way. We wanted to design a collection that was versatile but playful, with bold prints and feminine silhouettes." "We knew our customers would be thrilled to experience royal fashion at a Banana Republic price point."
