Margaret Howell started a "home business."
After her graduation from college, she sewed
a handful of men's shirts in her apartment and showed it to department stores.
She received enough
orders to start her business.
A year later (1971) she launched an accessories
range and by 1972 she already a full range of menswear and womenswear.
In 1981, she opened her first retail outlet in London.
She expanded globally and finally in 1995,
she made her debut show at London Fashion Week on-schedule show.
For those of you who needs an inspiration, Margaret Howell has been in business for over 3 decades,
and it all started with a few white men's shirts which she made herself while at home!
Margaret Howell is well-known for her understated clothing.
Functional with superb tailoring,
she has been a commercial success from day one.
For Spring 2001, she presented both her menswear and womenswear line.
Stripes, and solids, with lots of blacks and whites made up the collection.
Wearable with a sporty-edge, Margaret Howell's clothes remain a favorite in the wardrobe.
