Kate Middleton 'unofficial Issa muse'

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.
