They say the April wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton is going to put Britain back on the map. This very much rings true also to the designer who would get the privelege of making Kate's wedding dress.
A favorite, Brazilian-born desiner of the Issa brand, Daniella Helayel was a strong bet together with the brand Phillipa Lepley. That was then. Now, British fashion designer, Bruce Oldfield is topping all bets. He had been designing dresses for Princess Diana since 1980, the time she became a princess. With Diana being brought to life the moment her son's engagement happened it would be no surprise if Oldfield's wedding gown would be the chosen one.
