In 2011, the newlywed Duchess of Cambridge visited Canada with her husband, William. During her visit, she wore a new dress by London-based fashion brand Joseph. The dress is known as the “Vanessa” dress.
About the Joseph Vanessa dress:
Kate wore a champagne coloured dress by Moroccan-born designer Joseph. Sleek and sophisticated, clean lines and contemporary cuts are intrinsic to the Joseph aesthetic. The Vanessa Dress is a feminine and functional piece. The sweet silhouette is ultra-flattering.
Back in 2011, the dress was available to buy at My-Wardrobe.com. This is how they described the piece:
Nude crepe sleeveless shift dress with gros grain trim belt. Joseph dress is gathered to the waist, features flat seam trim and fastens with a gros grain covered zip to the rear.
About Joseph:
Kate has worn clothing by Joseph on a number of occasions previously – to the Epsom Derby in 2011; during a visit to Buckingham Palace with The Queen in 2011 and again at the Cheltenham Festival in 2013.
About Joseph:
On Joseph’s about page, they say the brand “modernised women.” The company was founded in the late sixties by hairdresser Joseph Ettedgui, who created a boutique that was “more magazine than clothes shop.”
Today, under the creative direction of Louise Trotter, Joseph presents a high contemporary ready-to-wear collection with a strong core of luxury essentials.
Pair with nude court shoes and a straw box clutch for that royal look.
