Marie Claire Celebrity News: Kate Middleton

As the label behind many of her most eye-catching ensembles, it's no surprise that Kate Middleton has clearly aligned herself with designer label Issa.

Prince William's 26-year-old girlfriend has exhibited an obvious penchant for the label, wearing its gowns to a number of high-profile event, including Peter Phillips' wedding, Wimbledon and the Boodles charity ball.

Now a source has told the Daily Mail that Miss Middleton has become an unofficial muse to the Brazilian designer Daniella Issa Helayel, and as a result, receives a bulging free wardrobe from the label.

'Kate must have thousands of pounds worth of gifted dresses,' the source divulges, 'Issa is incredibly generous with her.'

They added, 'Kate gets sent so many clothes from other labels but many go back unworn. Her taste is quite classic and that’s why she goes for Issa's print wrap dresses. She loves their floor-length gowns for black-tie events.'

The label boasts a host of A-list fans including Keira Knightley, Scarlett Johansson and Madonna, with its printed dresses proving a celebrity style favourite.

Kate should stop this shameless freeloading and start earning the designer clothing that is bestowed on her. Get a job Kate. A real one.

She is so beautiful, I don't mind for marriage.

No wonder she can't be bothered to get a job, she doesn't need to if she gets everything for free!
I hope Prince William doesn't marry this pointless, jobless, free-loading waste of space because she isn't the kind of person that is going to help the monarchy to survive in the 21st Century.

good on her....I wish I got clothes for free and would certainly wear them if I did! Keep up the good work Kate - you look great!!

I think the people who left the nasty biting comments are just jealous - do you mean to tell me that they would turn down a free designer dress if offered? For all we know Kate may not have time to work as she may be be schooled in "how to be a royal" ... She would certainly be a great asset to the Royal Family.

Miss Middleton is a very pretty women. I suspect she would look good in a flour sack.

I'm sure we all would accept a free dress, but I think this is thousands of pounds worth of free dresses, which is a bit different. I'm not sure I would feel comfortable doing that if I knew its was all tied in to who my boyfriend was.

She shouldn't be living her life for him. He could change his mind and dump her and then where would she be: no job, no more free clothes.....
