About Diane von Furstenberg:

Kate is a fan of Diane von Furstenberg, and has worn her dresses on a number of occasions in the past.  She has also carried several DVF clutch bags too.

Mostly recently, The Duchess wore a black full length lace dress by the designer to the Royal Variety Performance in November 2014.

In 2011, during the build up to the Royal Wedding, The Telegraph interviewed Diane about Kate and her style.  Kate was photographed wearing a beige-and-black printed dress while lunching with the Duchess of Cornwall.  Here’s an excerpt from the article:

“She’s always worn my clothes,” says von Furstenberg.

[But] does [von Furstenberg] feel, like Vivienne Westwood – who recently said that Prince William’s bride-to-be should “catch up a bit somewhere with style” – that Middleton should be edgier?

“She’s going to be Queen of England, but she’s not from an aristocratic background, so she needs to play the game. Still, I like the fact that she seems to be very independent.”
