Kate Middleton Fans, Brace Yourselves: Banana Republic to Collaborate With Issa London

Apr 12, 2013 @ 11:10 am

Continuing its push for quality collaborationsBanana Republic has just announced its latest: The retailer is teaming up with Kate and Pippa Middleton-loved British designer Daniella Helayel of Issa London. Debuting this August, the nearly 40-piece line merges the signature elements of each label—Banana Republic’s roots in travel-wear and Issa London’s feminine silhouettes. ”We were immediately inspired by Banana Republic’s heritage of safari adventures when we dreamed up this collection together,” Banana Republic Creative Director Simon Keenan said. Expect fun prints like zebra leopard on Issa’s figure-flattering wrap dresses, as well as pebbled envelope clutches, leather-wrapped bangles, and gold chain statement necklaces. Prices for clothing will range from $70 to $150 for clothing, and $40 to $150 for accessories. Repli-Kates, mark your calendars—raiding Banana Republic stores and bananarepublic.com starts August 6th.

Revenge Last Night: A Pippa Middleton Lookalike Dress Steals the Show

After Revenge costume designer Jill Ohanneson shared with us her all-time favorite costumes, we had to tune in last night to see the latest Hamptons style. And the show didn’t disappoint! Though we always have an eye out for avenger Emily’s (Emily VanCamp) crisp looks, it was Padma’s (Dilshad Vadsaria) feminine, raspberry fit-and-flare dress that kept us glued to the screen last night. And that’s because its bright hue and flattering draping reminded us of one of our favorite looks ever: this Issa dress Pippa Middleton wore to a friend’s wedding, which happens to be the pomegranate version of the sapphire frock her sister, Kate Middleton, wore to announce her royal engagement to Prince William. It’s almost an exact match! To nab the look for yourself, check out the latest incarnation of Issa’s storied frock, a fire-engine red version with faux-wrap detailing, available for $585 at stylebop.com.

Pippa Middleton in the Issa Dress That Won’t Quit

May 21, 2012 @ 11:45 am

The royal blue Issa dress Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge made famous when she announced her engagement to Prince William in November 2010 is back again! This time, it’s on her little sister. Pippa Middleton chose the same flattering wrap design to attend her friend’s wedding in Scotland this weekend, only in a raspberry red color, and added a matching black and rose floral fascinator. Ironically, when Issa reissued the design in the different hue, the label made a nod to the elder Middleton’s big moment, naming it “Royal Engagement Dress” (available for $555 at net-a-porter.com). Of course, Pippa could have chosen any other look, but why mess with a good thing, right?

Catherine Middleton had a busy weekend! While we were out celebrating the Fourth of July, the Duchess of Cambridge skipped from Ottawa to Quebec to Prince Edward Island, wearing some great designer outfits along the way. Some of her picks included an Alexander McQueen sailor-inspired look, a purple Issa dress reminiscent of her sapphire blue engagement announcement frock, a gray Catherine Walker shift, and a blue dress by Erdem Moralioglu, a Canadian-born, London-based designer. With so many looks, it’s hard to choose a favorite!
