The Duchess of Cambridge has become
renowned for her powerful effect on the economy as most items of
clothing she wears become an instant sell-out.
And
when Kate wore a 1950s-style grey coat dress this week for her first
solo public engagement, fashion followers were eager to buy their own to
emulate the Duchess' elegant style.
But
those desperately trying to get hold of the Jesire outfit were stunned
to find the firm ceased trading in August after 13 years.
