Fans Confused After Alison Victoria Lists ‘Dream Home’ For Sale. Wait. Her GA loft didn't sell, and she was supposed to be selling that to finance a new place in the Cabbagetown section of Chicago. Now, I'm confused, too. Anyway, this is an ugly ass building. The 4bd, 3.5ba, property is listed for $3.5M. Let's have a look (if you recall, Alison is the designer who did the "Ugliest House" I posted yesterday.)

Victoria worked to transform her office space into a residential home, which she envisioned as “the biggest, the baddest, the sexiest live-work dream home I could ever imagine.”

Although she’s called it her “Dream Home” home for several months now, fans online noticed that Victoria is quietly planning to part ways with her live-work space. What is going on?

She has posted photos from her dream home as recently as April 9, just before the building hit the real estate market. Well, I like the muted green chairs and planters. The floor is reminiscent of Alice in Wonderland.

One fan brought the home’s listing to an HGTV fan community on Reddit, where other users chimed in with their thoughts about the sale. (I'm an avid Redditor.)

“I thought she was building this to be her dream home/workspace? Or was this always to sell right away?” one fan wondered, with another guessing in response, “In reality it was always just content for her show.”

So, that's just a mantel with candles, then.

“I don’t think many people would be interested in buying this but it might work for someone who has a business and can live on the premises like what she claimed it was intended for," said another fan.

"I think more than likely it would be an event space esp for a wedding w/the option to stay overnight," said a 3rd fan.

Interesting wall with the big niche for decor, oven and 2 wine fridges.

One user pointed out in the comments, “There are no windows! I’d go crazy ! No, the sky lights not enough." Yeah, it's like an underground house.

Shoot, no matter how nice it is, I like the lighted shelving, no windows is a deal breaker. I'd feel imprisoned.

Interesting en-suite.

“The closets are full of clothes and shoes. Not staged stuff, real stuff," said a fan.

Nice little home theater lobby with a snack counter.

This is it? I was expecting a home theater, not a TV room.

Interesting light strand in the powder room.

Long hall to the wide industrial stairs.

One of the other bedrooms. I can't deal with just skylights, I gotta see what the weather's like and all.

One of the other baths. My love of floating sinks is kind of leery of something this big. I feel like it would break loose eventually.

"The mudroom looks like it has a little kid's jackets or maybe they’re just tiny women’s jackets. regardless, it looks like Alison or a family is living there. Interesting,” another fan pointed out.

Exercise depresses me enough, let alone doing it in this room.

I'm gonna say that this is the work area, where the team gathers to discuss design. Interesting that this is the area that has the windows.

The garages in the back of the building.

I'm no designer, but this building wouldn't have appealed to me as a home/work space. I would look for an end unit with more windows.

The Donna Chronicles, Volume: VII

The Return of the Prodigal Hypnotized Pantyhose Slave...

In the early 90's I moved away for a while for work, & had spent a couple of years out in Utah, skiing the Rockies, traveling internationally, & expanding my horizons... At the time I had believed that all that time spent away from everyone & everything back east would allow me to live a somewhat "normal" & somewhat ordinary life... Well, I was wrong...

After being away for a little over a year, just when I thought that I was starting to get on with my more "normal" life, the phone calls started... Always late at night, always three or four calls one after another, & always seemed to hang up as soon as I answered...

I was also still massively turned on by women in pantyhose, particularly white pantyhose. I also had begun to notice that more, & more women seemed to have taken to wearing white pantyhose as part of their outfits, even under pants or slacks. However, what started to set off "alarm bells" in my head was the growing propensity for those clad in their white pantyhose to often go shoeless in their stocking feet whenever possible...

managed to have more than a few adventures & exploits throughout my time away from where I had grown up. However, after several years away, I didn't have any thoughts or ideas about returning, or what it would be like.

I certainly didn't think about what my reaction may be running into my Hypnotic Pantyhose Mistress, or any of her thralls, or other Hypnotized Pantyhose Slaves, of which my Mom happened to be one.

My Hypnotic Pantyhose Mistress was still my Ideal though... She was what I was attracted to, everything about her...

White silky pantyhosed feet, especially HER pantyhosed feet... It didn't even really matter what color nylon adorned them...

So enticing & hypnotic... Impossible to look away from or resist...

Trying my best to keep all of those feelings at bay, I could only move forward & discover whatever I was going to discover.

Returning home, my Mom was the first of my Hypnotic Pantyhose Mistress's minions I had run into of course. But, she seemed absolutely normal. No white pantyhose, & there was absolutely no discussion of HER whatsoever... In fact, for my first couple of months home, there were no encounters of any kind, & I was beginning to feel like I had a new life free of my past.

I bounced around for a while, & eventually found a job at a manufacturing plant in Manchester... My interview process went easy enough, & started in technical customer service. It wasn't long before I made my way into Quality Management & in charge of Product Engineering...

Late one Friday afternoon I went into Customer Service at the end of the day, & found Pat coming out of the filing cabinet row with a strange look on her face... She came padding out shoeless, wearing silky white pantyhose underneath her slacks... Her eyes were completely glazed over, trance like... I couldn't for the life of me figure out how SHE had managed to get a hold of Pat, but it was obvious that she had done just that...

Pat looked up at me in surprise, then calmed to the extreme, & in a measured monotone voice said...

"Oh, good... You're here... You must remove your shoes & socks for our Hypnotic Pantyhose Mistress, & follow me... You have no choice... We have no choice... We live to serve our Hypnotic Pantyhose Mistress..."

I immediately dropped into a deep hypnotic trance, & responded...

"Yessss, Patricia... I have no choice... We have no choice... We live to serve our Hypnotic Pantyhose Mistress..."

I then somewhat robotically removed my shoes & socks... Exposing my silky white pantyhosed feet right there at work... I couldn't resist... It immediately came to me in a flash what must have happened for Pat to be in our Hypnotic Pantyhose Mistress's thrall like this...

I had no choice, but to follow her back into the Sales Manager's private office to where Michelle & Jodi were waiting on the couch. Both appeared to be deeply hypnotized, & were also wearing pantyhose...

Like with Pat, I got flashes of how each of the girls must have fallen under deep hypnotic trances for Pat on our Hypnotic Pantyhose Mistress's behalf. Michelle was wearing silky black pantyhose...

"Oh My God! Pat... W-what are you doing?"

"I... I can't... I cannot look away..."

"I... I m-mmussst obeyyyy..."

...& Jodi's was wearing her silky tan pantyhose that she always wore...

"Oh, Hi Pat!"

"W-wait... What are you d-doing?"

"Yesss, Pat... I will obeyyyy..."

Pat led me to the couch... Before she sat me down, she had us all disrobe down to our pantyhose from the waist down... Then, all three women turned to me & stroked & caressed me wherever I was covered in pantyhose with whatever they had covered in pantyhose. Stroking & caressing turned into all four of us passionately worshiping each other.

Pat had made both Michelle & Jodi into our Hypnotic Pantyhose Mistress's Hypnotized Pantyhose Slaves before they could even be put into HER silky white pantyhose... It was as if SHE had done it herself... They were completely HERS already...

From that day on, everything at work took a drastic change. Suddenly, the company was focused on Quality, & I was given a separate office area upstairs, & a staff. Pat was reassigned to me to handle all things Sales & Engineering related, Jodi was assigned to me to handle all Administrative & Communications related, & Michelle was assigned to me as Corporate Communications & Support...

At least, that was the public story for our new sequestered diggs... Nobody could get in unless they were under our Hypnotic Pantyhose Mistress's or the girls hypnotic sway... While we were inside the offices, we were shoeless & pantyhosed... Nuzzling & worshiping were common occurrences, as were occasional visits from our Hypnotic Pantyhose Mistress...

Look for "Hypnotized Pantyhose Slave Chronicles VIII" for a Continuation of My Hypnotized Pantyhose Slavery Story, Encounters, & Adventures...

GITJ Post 313: The Tale of Queen Angie, p7

Her boobs are growing, and all her little friends? she seethed to herself as she marched down the sidewalk, headed to the shop she’d found online. She’s taller, she’s a fucking She-Hulk at the gym, she’s got some sort of weird-ass hypnotic perfume? she continued to rant, silently to herself, Fine. Two can play at that game.

Angie Wade was not accustomed to shopping in this part of town, the swankiest. But despite being a bit out of her element she held her head up high, strode confidently, some would say haughtily. She’d needed to make an appointment, in fact, to be let into this place she was headed to - ‘Merz Parfumerie’ - which was annoying but whatever. She’d be on time; she’d skipped out of the office an hour early to make sure.

She could feel her boobs jiggling in her too-small bra under her thin, faux-cashmere sweater as she walked. All the extra calories, along with the fenugreek, were starting to do some good, and maybe while she was downtown she’d look into a lingerie store. She’d finally gone up a cup size or two, she figured. Those fifteen pounds had to go somewhere besides my thighs. It was chilly, this early November afternoon, and her nipples were sensitive.

It annoyed her that she even had to be doing this. She’d tried to use AJ, her ex- and apparently some construction-monkey crew leader working on the office expansion, to get her what she wanted. She knew that there’d been adjustments made to the air circulation system in the building, that there was some sort of aromatherapy shit going on, something based on Melissa’s perfume. She knew it had something to do with how the other girls were growing, how spellbound the stupid doctor was by Melissa and her fucking jigglebunnies. Why was it not having any effect on her?!? Why couldn’t she tell him what to do and boss him around like everyone else was doing?!? It was fucking frustrating but she wasn’t about to sit back and just watch, let all these other girls become whatever they were becoming, especially after the elections let the whole fucking world know that there’d be new bosses in town pretty soon - all of them in smart skirts and high heels. She should be the one running that place, not that overgrown bimbo. So, she’d asked AJ to get some of the pure stuff, whatever it was that they were infusing the air filters in the office with, some weird super-strong chemical that smelled like Melissa’s perfume (so fucking weird, right?)…but he proved to be useless. He can’t even do that for me. 

Finally at her destination - she’d had to park a few blocks away, where parking was cheaper - she looked in through the dusky storefront windows of this high-end perfume shop. She squinted, trying to see inside, what she’d be dealing with, but couldn’t make much out. She rang the stupid doorbell and waited. 

A moment later a man answered the door - she was hoping for that. Angie tended to have better luck getting her way with guys than women. But by the way this guy wore that scarf around his neck she wasn’t too sure her normal methods of persuasion were going to be of much help here. Fine, money talks too. The company credit card that she’d been using over these past few weeks, and then surreptitiously hiding transactions for, was in her purse. Working in accounting was helpful. 

“You must be our four o’clock customer. Welcome to Merz Parfumerie,” the thin man with the squirrely little moustache said as he stepped aside, ushered Angie into the dark little shop. He looked her up and down, took note of her cheap shoes and heavy behind as she glanced around, perused, browsing the shelves of exotic perfumes collected from around the world. “Is there anything in particular I can interest you in?”

Angie turned towards him; he’d found his way behind the glass sales counter. She stepped up to him and placed her purse on it. “Yes, thanks. I’ve heard that you can make custom perfumes, is that right?”

“Yes, yes we can,” the man smiled, “a personalized fragrance can be tailored just for you. We have a perfumologist from Grasse, perfume capital of France, who can craft whatever scent you’d like, for any occasion. It’s a wonderful idea. Would it be for you, or is this a gift?”

Perfumologist? Angie scoffed, silently, That’s a thing? “It would be for me, for sure,” she answered, “and I have a particular thing I want...”

At that, Angie unsnapped her purse and - pulling out some gum wrappers and her lipstick, putting a tampon on the counter - removed the three N-95 masks she’d squirreled away, snagged from the exam room earlier this morning. Damn, her whole purse was going to smell like Melissa, now. 

The sales guy watched with cocked brow as she presented the masks to him, placed them on the countertop. His trained nose immediately picked up the scent of them. It was strong. 

“These masks have been, like, soaked in some chemical, some perfume,” Angie began, “I want you to try to duplicate it, but make it…more like me. I want it even more intense.”

As Angie talked the man, with delicate, tentative fingers, lifted one mask from the three and passed it in an arc below his nose. It was not like anything he’d ever smelled before. Feminine, organic, beautiful in its own way. But it wasn’t a perfume, that he could tell. 

“I want to wear it,” Angie continued, “I want to smell powerful. I want people to smell my strength, I want them to gag on it.” She watched the man take another breath of the alluring scent from the surgical mask, considering. “Can you do that for me?”

The Office Party

Further to the short version posted recently, here is the full version.

I think there is such a lovely story to be told here!

So here it is! If I may, please?

The opening scene shows us five women ... X

Sitting together on a quite luxurious sofa! ... X

From left to right ... as we see them ... they are:

(1) Cheryl, (2) Freddie [Frederica], (3) Monica, (4) Stephie [Stephanie] and (5) Saskia.

They are a team.

They are not involved in any (kind of) sexual relationship with one another.

They are the 'Internal Sales Team' of a major supplier of 'Industrial equipment and Consumables' in the United States of America (USA).

Cheryl is 'Team Leader' and reports to the Sales Director, Pamela. The Internal Sales Team support the 'Regional Sales' teams and complement the company's marketing programs.

They are regarded as a 'high performing team' throughout the company.

They have each worked for the company for over five years and none of them have ever taken a day off work sick.

Pamela has always been impressed by Cheryl!

Not only how she applied to lead this team Pamela knew the company needed ... six years ago.

But how all the team Cheryl recruited (on her own, with 'support' from Human Resources (HR)) have stayed and supported Cheryl's team ... and most importantly, the company!

And so ... with Board 'Approval' ... Pamela has granted Cheryl and her team ... the third Thursday of each month ... (not a day off!) ... a 'Training and Team building day" ... all travel, subsistence and accommodation expenses paid (by the company) under the 'Training & Development' budget.

We join the team at midday on their second such meeting ... 'get together' ... but the first at this venue ... a private, serviced suite of rooms which Pamela owns ... which includes this pool ... quite an intimate space, actually!

Cheryl takes a call from Pamela ('Pammy' as Cheryl call her ... 'these days') checking that 'Everything is OK?'

The manner in which Cheryl walks around the pool ... and then ... the wonderfully contrived and choreographed manner in which Cheryl 'slips' and then 'loses her balance' ... and falls backwards into the still waters of the pool is quite exquisite ... so feminine, beautiful ... and perhaps ... ? ... 'Submissive' ... too?

After a while ... Freddie goes to check ... that everything is 'alright' ... and so it is.

But how Freddie giggles ... and then sniggers behind her hand! ... about what has 'happened' to her boss, Cheryl ... and that Cheryl's mobile telephone ('SmartPhone') is ... well, ... fucked!

Cheryl indicates she would like Freddie to help her out of the pool. Poor Cheryl! Or does she mean Freddie should join her?!

It's all so beautifully filmed!

But we see Freddie enter the pool ... I think 'pulled in' ... by Cheryl ... so sweet!

And then Freddie leaves the pool ... and returns to Monica, Stephie and Saskia ... to brief them on Cheryl's predicament ... and invite them to join Cheryl and her, Freddie ... in the pool!

Monica ... apparently ... 'needs little encouragement' ... shoes off! ... she's in!

Stephie ... the thoughtful Stephie ... needs little more encouragement, either! She jumps in too ... but in a 'more reserved way' than Monica.

However, Stephanie soon commits completely!

And then ... Saskia ... the serious one ... who prepares the most complex customer quotations! ... is less sure ... no, unsure! ... no, she's refusing! ... to enter the pool ... in her clothes ... like her colleagues!

But then ... as Freddie deputises for Cheryl ... as so often! ... an informal arrangement! ... Freddie re-assures Saskia ... and in Saskia goes! ... completely! She's in! They're all in! It's lovely! X

Film Share Sunday - with Banannasui

*update as of 10/27/23 I am no longer doing film shares do to a hectic time in my life, I do however appreciate anyone who has taken the time to join me in that spotlight. I may return to in the future, but for now I do not have time.*

I usually spotlight creators Top 5 Favorite Films each Sunday, via my SCREENMAVEN Instagram (now just starrymayx) but this week I welcome an extension of that to the blog. I love fashion probably as much as I love film, so it’s a two for one special when a film produces both.

I had the pleasure of connecting with one of my favorite fashion content creators Banannasui, and wanted to share her insight into why she highly acclaims these as her top 5 fashion films.

Charlie’s Angels (2000)

The 2000 Charlie’s Angels is fast-paced, flirty, lurid in both color and dialogue, and I feel like the outfits completely reflect that. The opening scene alone give us Cameron Diaz wearing the ultimate accessory that bridged the late 90s and early 00s: gradient sunglasses adorned with rhinestones (hers specifically were from Chloé). I remember reading that the costume designer had stacked up 3,000+ outfits for the movie, with each of the three girls having a wardrobe cultivated specifically for their character; Cameron is the all-American girl, Lucy is sophisticated and mature (her cooking muffins in a leather corset is amazing), and Drew is the scrappy rebel-type. Overall the movie is such a fun, campy feast for the eyes, but I think my absolute favorite outfits are the trio of glossy red white & blue jumpsuits they don on the racetrack.

The Bling Ring (2013)

God, it’s such a period piece of its time. A millennial’s period piece. The outfits aren’t ones I’d necessarily consider fashionable now, but (the year it came out) it was the pinnacle of it! The skinny jeans with pumps, the Uggs, the clunky jewelry, the scene of them walking out with their iced coffees wearing capes and vests and scarves and pencil skirts. All staples of that weird time period where office-chic infiltrated Polyvore boards. I love movies where the outfits are such a direct reflection of the person wearing them, it elevates the wearer to the point where you stop seeing them as the actor and start seeing them as the character. Especially when the one dressing them does their homework! Case in point, costume designer Stacey Battat said she bought every back issue of US Weekly from 2003 in preparation for dressing the cast, and then incorporated elements of the early 2010s as well, in order to make the time period of the movie feel more ambiguous. Although not included in the film, thinking of the outfits reminds me of a line from the famous Alexis Neiers phone call to Nancy Jo Sales: “..you saying that I wore six inch Louboutins heels to court with my tweed skirt, when I wore four inch little brown Bebe shoes.” It’s just so of its time.

Faster Pussycat! Kill Kill! (1965)

I love, love, love the outfits for Faster, Pussycat! It’s campy, visceral, with an appropriate amount of violence— you can see echoes of it in John Waters and Quentin Tarantino films (both of whom have cited the movie as inspiration). The outfits within the movie are very 60s, composed of simple shirts and jeans, yet are menacing, sexy, and striking. There’s no shortage of tight pieces and plunging necklines, yet the provocativeness doesn’t feel exploitative or demeaning. I like the idea of sex as armor in this movie, a notion expanded upon by Robert Ebert in a 1995 review. Despite the much exposed skin and cleavage, Ebert notes that the director, Russ Meyers, “from the beginning of his career and almost without exception, has filmed only situations in which women wreak their will upon men.” The trio of intimidating women in this film constantly leave behind a streak of havoc, literally snapping men’s spines and running them over with cars. They do all this whilst donning tiny tops, push up bras, hot pants, and bikinis, taking full control of their situations. It subverts the girly 60s look, both in attitude and appearance. Personally, I especially love Billie’s (Lori Williams) looks in the movie, in particular her iconic white hot-pants and polka-dotted crop top getup.

Female Trouble (1974)

I love 70s fashion, a lot. I also enjoy the garish vibrancy of camp, where the attitude of the story bleeds into the wardrobe. Female Trouble deploys all of that, served on a sickening platter of glitz and glamor. The John Waters film stars legendary drag queen Divine, and is chocked full of fashion references to the 50s and 60s, splicing decades of style together in a way that matches the pacing and overall attitude of the movie. There’s beehive hairdos and pastels, as well as brightly colored dresses, slick animal prints, heavy eye makeup, sequins, and fur coats. It’s very gaudy, very glamorous, and very much full of fashion inspiration. I actually originally found out about this movie due to fashion collections that took cues from the film, namely Miu Miu spring ‘15 and Adam Selman fall ‘15.

I love how despite the frivolity and outrageous storytelling that the outfits weave, they’re also very stylish in a wearable way. I mean, the orange transparent mini dress with a fur coat and sky-high hair? I’d wear it.

Blow Up (1966)

It’s a cult fashion movie, and for good reason. The movie takes place in the midst of the swinging sixties, and the clothing is accordingly immersed in the world of mod: flats with tights, kitten heels, a-line mini dresses, sharp lines and sleek ensembles that evokes imagery of both Twiggy in Vogue, and Edie Sedgwick in her iconic black tights and chandelier earrings (though of course, Edie had shrugged away the label of mod). It’s very much representative of its time, notably featuring a young Jane Birkin, as well as legendary model Veruschka playing herself. Some of the frames in the movie might as well have been pictures of collections from the iconic designers of that era, including Mary Quant, André Courrèges, and Pierre Cardin. It’s fun, simple glamor, encapsulating the time in which it was created.

I’ve always loved the style of this era of the sixties, and how it’s portrayed in Blow Up; simple mini dresses that accentuate attention-stealing pieces such as fur coats and red tights (which are timeless, even now). Nothing beats a barely there a-line dress to me, and they are bountiful in this movie.

I myself (screenmaven) absolutely love Blow Up!! That one is definitely on my film style list.

Thanks again, for sharing with me and my followers your insight into style through film.

The Princess of Wales will soon grant Royal Warrants. The move will undoubtedly generate excitement across British industries—the warrants, which recognise companies supplying goods to the royal household, offer a prestigious stamp of approval that can boost sales significantly.  I’m sure the British government will be thrilled with the Princess’s new role too, given her popularity on the world stage and the well-documented ‘Kate Effect’ phenomenon. Since 2011, brands have experienced skyrocketing sales whenever Kate is identified as wearing or using their products.  In 2015, Grazia magazine called Kate the UK’s most “bankable fashion star” after it emerged that the princess’s style choices have brought “an astounding £1billion into the ailing British economy, eclipsing anything generated by supermodels, music stars and even Oscar winners”. As as a ‘Grantor’ of Royal Warrants, Kate’s influence is now set to expand.  A Royal Warrant from the Princess will be a highly sought-after honour.  They’re an excellent opportunity for Kate to highlight British craftsmanship and industry worldwide. Royal Warrants date back to medieval times but were formalized in the 15th century. Today, they’re granted for a period of up to five years and come with strict criteria—including, under King Charles III’s changes, proof of a robust sustainability policy.  The latter aligns seamlessly with William’s focus on environmental issues since launching The Earthshot Awards in 2020.  Both William and Kate have gravitated towards sustainable fashion brands in recent years, using their influence to spotlight British craftsmanship and eco-conscious choices.  I think we’ll see this reflected in the Royal Warrants Kate issues. (Above: Kate visiting a Leeds-based textile mill in 2023.) So, which businesses will receive a Royal Warrant from the Princess? The possibilities are endless, and speculation is already rampant.  Are Alexander McQueen, Catherine Walker and Jenny Packham in the running?  I’d say so.  They’re all staples in Kate’s wardrobe and her go-to labels when preparing for high-profile engagements, including the late Queen Elizabeth’s jubilees, overseas visits, royal weddings and so on. Handbag designer Strathberry is said to be a contender too. As is the clothing brand, Holland Cooper.  What about Emmy London? Kate’s worn 16 pairs of shoes and nearly as many handbags from the company.  They’re a women-led company that identifies as a ‘slow fashion’ brand and adopts a sustainable approach.  I’ll throw Mulberry’s hat into the ring too. The brand is synonymous with British style. Kate’s carried 12 of their handbags to date. We suspect her office has a working relationship with the brand. We have spotted her carry designs that differ from the company’s off-the-shelf offering. For example, the green Amberley carried by Kate features a small tubular top handle. The same bag in Mulberry’s online store does not, it comes with a crossbody strap instead, suggesting Kate’s is bespoke. I wonder if Brora will make the list.  They’re a luxury fashion brand that Kate’s worn many times. They produce cashmere knitwear, clothing and accessories. Their knitwear is made by hand in Scotland, using 200-year-old mills. The cashmere is knitted and dyed in the Scottish Borders using traditional skills and equipment. They’re also committed to ethical design and production. They’re a strong contender in my view. Beulah London—perhaps? Kate has a longstanding relationship with Beulah London and its founders, Lavinia Brennan and Natasha Rufus Isaacs. The Princess was one of the brand’s earliest high-profile supporters, wearing Beulah dresses for public engagements as far back as 2011. Her endorsement of the brand has helped raise its profile significantly. The two founders share a passion for ethical fashion and empowering women. Their work focuses on creating employment opportunities for women who have survived human trafficking. Kate’s love for Beulah dresses isn’t just about their flattering silhouettes and timeless designs—it’s likely tied to the brand’s socially conscious ethos too, allowing her to harness the ‘Kate Effect’ for good. If Kate wants to honour her favourite jeweller, we might see a royal warrant granted to Kiki McDonough. The Princess owns 21 pieces by the jeweller. Far far more than any other designer or brand. And there’s L.K. Bennett. Kate catapulted their now-iconic Sledge shoe to fame in 2011. The shoe garnered numerous headlines over the years and even featured in an exhibit about royal style in the V&A museum. Kate’s continued to regularly wear the brand’s clothing, coats and bags since. Of course, I’ve focused on fashion designers and jewellers (this is a style blog, after all). But look at the current list of royal warrant holders, and you’ll see it includes less glamorous trades, too—upholsterers, fire prevention equipment suppliers, animal feed merchants, and irrigation system specialists. Perhaps we’ll see Royal Warrants for the mundane things Kate deals with daily. Maybe the Princess’s preferred electrician, her crockery supplier or the garden centre she visits the most? I think this is likely, especially as Kate is not keen to be seen as a ‘clothes horse’. I’m interested to see how Kate approaches the task on the whole. Will she issue just a handful of warrants to begin with? Grant them slowly and steadily over the years? Or take a broader approach?  The announcement comes as Kate continues her steady return to public life following a challenging year.  She’s had to deal with surgery, cancer diagnosis, chemotherapy, recovery, rumour-mongering, conspiracy theories and intrusive privacy violations on top of the usual stresses and strains of family life that come with raising three children. I suspect she’s been quietly preparing for this for some months already.  The research she’d need to conduct (reviewing documents, assessing policies etc) would have been a perfect way for her to continue to work behind the scenes while recovering at home.  Going forward, issuing Royal Warrants allows the Princess to support British businesses and generate positive press for the Royal Family without conducting too many royal engagements.  Kate’s new role in granting warrants underscores her increasing authority and influence within the royal family. As the monarchy continues to slim down, with fewer working members and an aging core group, Kate and William are only set to take on more prominent roles as time goes on. Bonus! Answer this question in the comments: Which brand do you think deserves the Princess of Wales’ seal of approval? Who will earn the coveted royal seal? Will Kate’s choices lean toward established heritage brands, or will she spotlight bold, innovative companies?  Perhaps a mixture of both? Let me know below! Source link
