Fashion house Armani and Lady Helen Taylor have ended a long-running relationship
that saw the Queen's cousin act as fashion ambassador to the brand for 17 years.
The 45-year-old royal has been a muse to Giorgio Armani since he provided an outfit for her 1992 wedding. "From Armani's perspective, there is a recession and it becomes harder to justify the expense of having fashion ambassadors," an unnamed source told the Mail on Sunday. "The relationship has been there so long there is less impact now for people to see Lady Helen wearing Armani." Lady Helen, the daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Kent, is 26th in line to the throne. |
