Margaret Howell

Margaret Howell is a British fashion designer who has made a name for herself with her interpretation of shirts, blouses, derbies, duffle coats and trench coats.

“I think of myself as a hands-on designer. For me make is integral to my design philosophy. It is crucial how a piece of clothing feels when worn. I’ve always wanted clothes to be the way I drew them – relaxed and lived in, a natural look. I find men’s clothes interesting in their structure, feel and functionality. I started by designing men’s clothes, and then found that women wanted them.”
