NICHOLAS KIRKWOOD has clarified his comments regarding the Duchess of Cambridge. Reports earlier this week suggested that the British shoe designer had criticised the royal's style - something he strongly denies.
"The Duchess of Cambridge has had an important impact on the British fashion industry, both on the high fashion and high street," Kirkwood told us this morning. "Of course, there is nothing that I would like more than for her to wear my shoes. My comments have been taken out of context."
Describing himself as always having been "a bit of royalist", the designer - who was nominated for this year's BFC/Vogue Fashion Fund prize - is also showing his support for the British monarchy by launching a Jubilee-themed shoe. In other Kirkwood news, the designer opens his first New York flagship today - a move prompted by growing demand for his covetable shoes on US shores.
