The Fashion World Comments On The Duchess Of Cambridge's Dress

Everyone's talking about the Duchess of Cambridge's Alexander McQueen wedding gown, so it's only appropriate for other designers to critique it!

Here's what some of the non-chosen ones had to say:

Christian Lacroix:
"I like the dress very much, simpler than expected: A combination just in between 1956 Grace Kelly and 1947 Queen Elizabeth dress. I love the modest veil with the Queen Mother’s Thirties scroll tiara and balanced volume of the whole gown. She’s radiant; She never was so beautiful. And Prince William’s red Irish uniform is gorgeous."

Hubert de Givenchy:
"The dress is very simple and very nice. The veil is a little flat, but because she has such a lovely face, she can afford to wear it this way. She is very pretty."

Donatella Versace:
"Kate's dress was beautiful. She looked very regal."

Mark Badgley of Badgley Mischka:
"James and I have goose bumps! The dress is perfection; and will stand the test of time. It is a classic Grace Kelly look. The skirt is divine. We love the hair down and the veil. The proportion is beautiful."

Tory Burch:
"Kate looked stunning. Choosing Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen reflects Kate’s modern aesthetic and style, but the handmade lace details and craftsmanship are a great nod to British tradition. The lace, the clean lines of the dress, Queen Elizabeth’s tiara—every detail was stunning."

Donna Karan:
"The dress was extremely elegant. For me, it wasn’t so much about the dress though, it was all about her. She was the most beautiful bride in the world."

Francisco Costa:
"Kate’s dress had a classic elegance with a modern edge. The superb detailing really characterized Sarah’s expert hand."

Valentino:
"I loved the dress..it was very simple and young even if an hint of Grace Kelly's dress spoke of 1950s! I loved the flounce on the back of the skirt and the little decoration all around the short veil. I loved the choice of the tiara: simple,pretty, very right for the dress and for her attitude..it was used almost as an hairpiece to keep the hair and the veil, not as a heavy decoration. Compared to the famous Diana’s dress, Diana’s was a dress of a fairytale princess.. still a dress everybody remembers.. Kate’s one is a very pretty, modern dress that will be copied everywhere but lacks that fairytale element."

What do U think of Catherine's dress?

If Designers Could Create Kate Middleton's Wedding Dress

Designer Bruce Oldfield may be the chosen one to design Kate Middleton's wedding dress, but that's not stopping other designers from making their own suggestions.

Some of the biggest names in fashion are making Kate's decision that much more difficult by sketching out their own ideas of what the princess to be should wear down the aisle.

We must say, some of them are pretty fabulous.

Lacroix Gets A Non-Fashion Job

He's still in demand!

On top of designing uniforms for railway operator SNCF, Christian Lacroix will also be designing coins.

Yes, really.

The former couturier has been named artistic adviser of La Monnaie de Paris, the peeps behind making France's Euros and medals.

Under his new role Lacroix will be in charge of designing limited edition coins, the French gay marriage medal and the medal given out to those married under French civil law.

Whatever pays the bills, right Christian?
