Whether he has been busy designing Pippa's wedding dress remains to be seen, but Giles did have a lot of praise for the fashion sense of both Pippa and her older sister, the Duchess of Cambridge.

The couturier has a lot of experience working with celebrity clients, but how does designing a wedding dress differ to other gowns? "It's quite different actually, because someone who comes in for a gown for a red carpet event generally knows exactly what they want and it's very precise," the designer explained. "I think when wedding dresses are talked about, every woman has a different set of factors in her mind of what it could be because they've been thinking about it possibly for such a long time."

Over the years the designer has acquired a diverse array of famous fans, from Lady Gaga to Queen Rania of Jordan, whom he describes as "a fascinating group of people".

"The new collection is a continuation of the project I've been doing with P&G. It's all machine washable and accessible from a price point perspective," he explained. "The white remains as white as can be and the prints remain as strong as possible through many washes."
But it looks like we'll have to wait and see if one of Giles' next white creations is a bespoke wedding gown for Pippa Middleton when she walks down the aisle at St Mark's Church, Englefield. For her big day, Prince William and Kate will be in attendance, and their children Prince George and Princess Charlotte will have very special roles in the ceremony. Also confirmed on the guest list is William's brother Prince Harry – although it hasn't been revealed if his actress girlfriend Meghan Markle will attend.
