The smart set’s talking about... Kirstie Allsopp’s fashionista cousin

LOCATION, Location, Location host Kirstie Allsopp might be an expert when it comes to property, but it’s her cousin, Millie, who has the sartorial skills.

The affable 29-year-old daughter of former antiques dealer John Allsopp, Kirstie’s uncle, is launching an ecoconscious fashion label next month.

‘It’s called Usisi, which my sister Kathryn and I started together,’ Millie tells me. ‘I was a buyer and my sister is a designer. We make contemporary womenswear and handbags. The collection is designed in London and produced in sustainably operated factories in Vietnam and Turkey using all-natural fabrics and no plastic packaging.’

London-born Millie, who graduated from New York’s Parsons School of Design, also has exciting news in her love life: she’s engaged to handsome German entrepreneur Constantin Nagel, 40.

‘We met in New York,’ Millie gushes. ‘ The wedding is in July and I’ll be wearing an Emilia Wickstead dress.’

What better time for Kirstie’s long- term partner, property developer Ben Anderson, to pop the question?
