A self-proclaimed "hands-on designer", Margaret Howell has been making clothes for fifty years. The British designer made her name with menswear, drawn to it for its structure and functionality. Striving for a timeless and lived in look, Howell designs clothes to last and finds reassurance in traditional materials like tweed, linen, cashmere and poplin. Alongside the shirting and relaxed tailoring of the mainline collection is the MHL line that expands on the idea of utility offering t-shirts, track tops and functional outerwear.
