One of Kate Middleton’s brands of choice, Reiss, has filed accounts showing a nearly doubled profit for its fiscal year, a feat people are attributing to the Duchess’s fondness for the company. After she wore a white dress by Reiss for her official engagement photograph, taken by Mario Testino in January 2011, the brand’s website crashed and the company sold one dress every minute. It also boosted sales in America.
