High street loving Kate is just 'perfect' according to Karl Lagerfeld

14 OCTOBER 2012

Chanel maestro Karl Lagerfeld has praised the Duchess of Cambridge for her high street fashion choices.

Speaking at a dinner before the opening of his Little Black Jacket Exhibition, 79-year-old Karl described Kate as "beautiful" and added that he feels it's "right that she favours high street fashion in these recession-hit-times."

 

"She shouldn't be a red carpet girl" said Karl, "she's perfect."

Kate has been praised for favouring some of Britain's best-loved high street brands such as Whistles, Reiss and LK Bennett, despite having access to the world's leading designer labels.

Clothes worn by the 30-year-old Duchess, who has been hailed as fashion ambassador for the UK, are accessible and affordable so much so that they often sell-out instantly. 

Karl's exclusive dinner was held as Robin Birley's restaurant, 5 Hertford Street to celebrate the opening of the exhibition which welcomed such celebrity guests as Poppy Delevigne, Keira Knightley and Eva Herzigova.
