Duchess shares why giving proper credit to designers matters to her
Meghan Markle has offered a candid look at her relationship with fashion, describing it as both deeply personal and widely influential in a rare interview.
Speaking with Women’s Weekly, Meghan kept the tone relaxed as she reflected on her style choices, her past travels including Australia, and the broader role fashion plays in shaping identity.
She described fashion as one of the most powerful industries, explaining that it has a strong effect on how people feel and how they present themselves. According to Meghan, clothing can communicate a message even without words.
The Duchess also addressed a long-standing frustration, revealing that designers behind her outfits have sometimes been misidentified in media coverage or through affiliate links. She said that never sat right with her, stressing the importance of acknowledging the correct creators.
For Meghan, giving proper recognition is non-negotiable. She explained that designers invest significant effort and pride into their work, and her choices often reflect personal connections, loyalty to brands, or thoughtful intention.
That belief has also influenced her professional decisions. The interview notes that her collaboration with OneOff is partly driven by her desire to ensure designers receive the credit they deserve.
