It’s not out of the concern that Kate would wear something from the Erdem/H&M line. She has worn designs from diffusion brands on several occasions. below you see the Duchess last year wearing a Jonathan Saunders gown from the designer’s collaboration with Debenhams.

Kate wore one more piece from the line this April, a floral gown (photos here), as well as we likewise saw the Duchess wearing a blouse from the Somerset collection in Canada last year.

I envision we’ll see one more piece or two that would work for her when images from the full line are available.

Now for the Preen LK Bennett collaboration. The collection officially launches next Thursday, October 5th. however it turns out many of the pieces are offered online now.

LK Bennett

Below, the Syd gown ($495). It may be the frock most resembling something Kate would wear. In addition to the blue colorway, there is likewise a quite deep pink style offered on the UK site.This is LK Bennett’s very first prepared to wear collaboration. From a Women’s Wear everyday story:

The 16-piece collection aims to blend Preen signatures such as asymmetric cuts as well as positive utilize of color with the timeless elegance as well as comfortable glamour L.K. Bennett is known for.

There are separates in the collection. below left, the Patti Embroidered Sweater in a wool/cashmere blend ($295); on the right, the Annika Stripe top in a chunky knit ($325).

A better look at the embellishment on the top. 

The Shelley Skirt ($295) is offered in a rayon jersey; it features a D-ring belt as well as asymmetric hem.

The Shelly gown ($395) is done in the exact same graphic print; it likewise has a broad red insert as well as waterfall skirt.

From a everyday Mail story about the collection:

Head to L.K.Bennett from October 5, however, as well as you can pick up a stunning gown for £250. Still not cheap, certainly, however you’re getting a style traditional for about half the price. as well as since Preen is all about sophistication rather than trends, you’ll be able to wear it once again as well as again.

What we especially love about the Preen for L.K.Bennett collection is that is encapsulates Preen’s high-end glamour with a dash of the working-wardrobe smartness that L.K.Bennett customers demand.

The black velvet Patti dress is shown on the UK site (£550, about $750). It features a “soft lantern shape as well as box-pleated waist.”

A better view of the intricate embellishment.

The Sioux wrap Front gown ($695) is crafted from a rayon/silk blend; the piece has shoulder cutouts, ruffle detailing as well as self-belt.

Another style we might arguably see Kate wearing: the Reed increased Print silk gown (£495, approximately $670), in a silk blend with a high neckline trimmed in black lace. The Reed skirt (not yet shown online) features the exact same graphic stripe base adorned with roses.

The Vali dress ($695) is offered in both a black as well as red version. It is 100% silk, featuring a increased motif blended with a graphic design. It is a little difficult to see in these photos, however the collar is done in a waterfall style.

The Devoto in pink ($695) is offered now.The Sonic Sequin gown (£550, about $750) is currently offered only on the LK Bennett UK site.

As of early evening on the 25th there are ten styles from the collection on the US website as well as 12 pieces on the UK site.

The collection may be more suited to fashionistas than Kate fashion fans. Those primarily exposed to the brand with Kate’s dresses may be looking for more structured, tailored designs. Below, the Duchess in the two Preen styles we have seen her wear, the Finella in red as well as black, as well as the Everly in light blue.

But much of what Preen offers is more included than the dresses Kate has worn, with style elements like ruffles, tiers, lace embellishment or trim, gathers, asymmetrical hemlines, as well as more. The brand is known for its love of Victorian styles. It is likewise celebrated for its prints; we see that stamina in the LK Bennett collection. Those hoping for styles more like the frocks seen on the Duchess may be disappointed, while fans of Preen’s signature style are likely to be delighted with the collection.
