Kim Kardashian Apparently Has More Selling Power Than Kate Middleton; Tom Ford Wants To Raise His Kids in London

Kim Kardashian Has More Selling Power Than Kate Middleton?: After Kate Middleton wore a dress by Roland Mouret, the designer opened up about it: “The kind of people who like Kate’s style are not the kind to rush out and copy her dress,” he told The Telegraph. “You don’t see hundreds of women running around looking like her. To be honest, we’re more likely to get orders on a dress that Kim Kardashian’s worn.” And as for naysayers of Kate’s decidedly conservative style? “She doesn’t seem to feel the need to dress sexily to woo the world,” Mouret explained, adding that Middleton asked that her dress be made looser than its original sample, “She doesn’t want a bottom situation like Pippa had.” [Telegraph]
