Kate Middleton sent a personalised letter of thanks to Pakistani designer Maheen Khan for her help in choosing outfits during the Duchess of Cambridge’s first official trip to Pakistan in October.
During the five day royal visit by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge in October, Middleton was spotted wearing Pakistani attire. She mixed and matched multiple different local brands and designers, and one local designer she wore was Maheen Khan. She wore two outfits by the designer during her trip. In a personalised letter the Duchess wrote to the Pakistani designer, she said “I really enjoyed wearing both of your outfits and the trousers were a great fit too. So thank you for all your time and effort you put into everything. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit, everyone was so welcoming and it was lovely to have the chance to meet you in person at the spectacular Pakistan Monument. I am sorry it was so short. Thank you once again, this comes with my warmest thanks and best wishes.” The designer shared the letter on her personal Instagram with the caption “A very gracious thank you letter from HRH the Duchess of Cambridge”
Although the message itself was not handwritten, it was typed out on custom stationary from Kensington Palace, the Duchess wrote ‘Dear Maheen’ and signed her signature at the end. While speaking about how the collaboration began, Khan revealed “I stock my clothes at O’nitaa in London and that’s where the Duchess’ style team first spotted them. They are a very savvy team of young stylists and they picked up some clothes to show them to the Duchess and then, reached out to me.” “They chose a selection. One, they chose off the rack while they also asked me to create some bespoke designs. I signed a nondisclosure agreement which meant that I could only talk about it when they allowed me to. I feel that the Duchess has a very classy, elegant personal style and I created my designs along those lines.” This is not the first time the Duchess of Cambridge has written a letter to Pakistani designers. Last month, she also thanked Elan Creative Director Khadija Shah for her help with her outfits during her Pakistan trip.
