She's too discreet to mention it.

But among the customers said to slip into Emilia Wickstead's Belgravia atelier is the Duchess of Cambridge.

For years, the New Zealand-born designer has been creating exquisitely cut dresses from the most exclusive postcode in London.

Now Emilia – who dressed Samantha Cameron for that first all-important Downing St photocall – has presented at London Fashion Week. 

And her latest offerings are likely to tempt Britain's most high-profile young brunette.

Her ladylike confections with precision pleats and high necklines are just the sort of thing the modern woman needs for a special occasion.

And perhaps the Duchess's style has even inspired the talented designer.

The models' hair – blowdried into soft, cascading curls  – was reminiscent of Kate's signature locks.
