As soon as the bride-to-be stepped out of the car outside Buckingham Palace, designers began to sketch drawings of the dress expecting it to be the next big thing. And then, nothing. Despite universal approval of Kate's choice of gown, imitations of the Sarah Burton number have not been popping up in church aisles up and down the country, even Z-list celebrities haven't been getting married in copies to raise the profile of their nuptials... But perhaps the most astonishing absence of Kate Middleton look-a-likes has been at the Bridal Fashion Week in New York where visitors were expecting to be bombarded with lacy long-sleeved gowns. But designer Gregory Nato, who works with his brother Stephen on the Fancy New York bridal collection, played down any Duchess of Cambridge influences. He told the New York Times: 'That dress silhouette already existed. 'Other designers copied that and had it on the runway right away, but what we noticed though, is that nobody bought it.' He added: 'The trend is going the exact opposite.' Women don't want to copy others who have walked down the aisle before them 'A modern bride is creating an original event for herself. She’s bringing her personality into it.
