Burberry trench coat worn by Kate Middleton causes fashion frenzy
March 11th, 2011 - 5:48 pm ICT by ANILondon, Mar 11 (ANI): It seems Kate Middleton is fast becoming a trendsetter in the UK.
The royal bride-to-be caused yet another shopping frenzy when she wore a classic Burberry trench coat to a pancake-tossing session in Belfast on Tuesday.
The future princess’ wardrobe choices have had a well-documented positive effect on sales of whatever she wears - and cheaper imitations - and her 650-pounds Burberry trench coat was no exception.
The outfit was sold out within a day of Middleton stepping out in the coat, reports the Daily Mail.
According to Burberry, the sleek, double-breasted beige wool model with a frilled hem has sold out online in nearly every size - four, six, eight and 10.
The coat, part of Burberry’s London, spring/summer 2011 collection, was such a hit that a 22-pounds Asda imitation saw sales soar by 300 percent over the same period.
Middleton wore the coat buttoned right up to the top and with the belt stylishly looped over and hanging down over her waist.
She accessorised with black suede shoes with a matching clutch bag. (ANI)
