Emilia Wickstead and Alexa Chung

Celebrities are obsessed with Kiwi-born designer Emilia Wickstead

21 April 2016

Emilia Wickstead’s celebrity clientele ranges from the very conservative (Kate Middleton and Samantha Cameron) to the very cool (Alexa Chung and Gigi Hadid).

So what’s the key to designing clothes that appeal to such a cross-section of women?

“I’m always designing for the most modern woman in her circle,” says Emilia. “She will always lead a good and successful life because it is the life she knows she wants to make for herself. You’ll covet her vocation as much as her clothes.”

Take a look at Emilia’s A-lister fans in the gallery above.
