20 Times Kate Middleton Wore Local Designers on Her Global Tours

The “Kate Middleton Effect” is so real — especially in the fashion world. Because so many people look up to her, they always want to wear what she’s seen wearing. She has a lot of power to help boost the economy of not just Britain, but countries all over the world. It seems that the Duchess of Cambridge understands this power, because Kate frequently wears clothes by local designers when she goes on international royal tours. That way, when customers want to replicate her look, they’re buying local and boosting the economy of the place the duchess is visiting. She’s done this on almost every tour she’s been on since she became an official working royal in 2011. It’s just one small way she can help give back.
