HAIDA GWAII, B.C.—Toronto-based fashion label Smythe has become an apparent favourite of the Duchess of Cambridge. Kate arrived at the remote archipelago Haida Gwaii on Friday dressed in an army green “Duchess” blazer from Smythe’s fall collection. While it was the first glimpse of Kate in this particular blazer, a navy blue version has been a staple in her wardrobe since the 2011 Canadian royal tour. Smythe co-founders Andrea Lenczner and Christie Smythe say they are thrilled to be included Kate’s wardrobe yet again. An appearance of the duchess wearing particular brand can mean big business for designers.
