When it comes to Fashion Kate always seems to need someone to be with her.

Untrue, Sophie is the UK London of College Fashion patron. Kate has no patronages with fashion in the UK or Commonwealth.

So, it is the other way around, Sophie, who reports to the household of QEII, via BP (DOL and SG) seemed to request the presence of the Duchess of Cambridge KP, she has more pull with what needs to be front page news.

Thank you @wannable for sharing this information about this upcoming engagement with the Duchess and Countess. :) I believe that this is their first joint engagement though we've seen them at family events in the past.

There's a rumor circulating that Kate may be requested to be Patron or Ambassador to the British Fashion Council. Samantha Cameron, wife of the latest PM of the U.K., was the highest ranking official for the BFC.  Since the PM is female, Mrs. May, her husband has not been asked to take the position.  This entails going to London Fashion Week, what Samantha Cameron was doing during the past 5 years...highlighting her presence and dressed impeccably (Made in Britain), made front page news.

Who in their right mind would want Kate as a fashion anything? She dresses Grandmotherly & boring unlike Sophie.

All the A, B and C Magazines (London, Paris, New York) write about Kate and her fashion.

Marketing and Sales Classification of magazine public consumption is by letter, not by number.

Either a person can wear fashion well instead of having the fashion wear them or they can't, Kate can't.

wannable

Each has a personal view, but undeniably all fashion magazines mention and detail her fashion sense, some fawn to sycophantic levels.

I think she has done very well to date with each and every choice she has done for public outings, minus the summer dresses with no weights mistakes.

QuoteThe Duchess of Cambridge is revered worldwide for her impeccable sense of style.

Brands clamour to work with her and pieces she wears sell out within hours.

It is unsurprising, therefore, that the Queen should look to harness the Duchess's sartorial savoir-faire for a fashion reception held in Buckingham Palace during London Fashion Week 2018.

In a first for the palace, the Duchess of Cambridge will team up with Sophie, Countess of Wessex, to host the event on February 19 on behalf of the Queen.

At least the Queen understands that Kate needs Sophie there since it is about fashion.   :D

QuoteAs a patron of the London College of Fashion, the Countess of Wessex is another royal known for her sense of style. In combining Kate's global profile and the Countess's fashion experience, the event is sure to be a success.

While I don't always like everything that she or any of the other royal ladies wear, I cannot deny that the "Kate effect" does exist. :Jen: Also I'm pleased to see that Sophie's style makeover  is being applauded too. She did seem to ramp up her fashion stakes around 2011. :Jen:

QuoteThe event, which forms part of the schedule surrounding the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting, will see leading designers such as Burberry and Stella McCartney (representing the UK), Bibi Russell (for Bangladesh) and Karen Walker (representing New Zealand) pair up with artisans from developing countries to create exciting one-of-a-kind designs to be showcased at the reception.

The event is the first from a newly formed creative initiative: The Commonwealth Fashion Exchange.

Launched this week, The Commonwealth Fashion Exchange?s mission is to create partnerships between established and emerging talent from across the 52 member countries. The project is created and managed by Eco-Age, with support from the Commonwealth Fashion Council and the British Fashion Council.

QuoteNice to see Kate and Sophie together today. Kate led the royal party in, by order of precedence, But, interestingly, Sophie was noticeably the more confident, relaxed and assured in front of the cameras.
