Margaret Howell is a contemporary British clothing designer who has worked successfully in both men?s and women?s wear. Howell has been a strong, if quiet, presence on the British design scene for nearly four decades. Keynote designs are her take on the shirt, gymslip, lace-up shoes, duffle coat and trench coat. Many have an androgynous quality underlined by a succession of carefully controlled photographic campaigns. These are shot on location in black and white and by such sympathetic spirits as Bruce Weber, Koto Bolofo, and Venetia Scott. 

September 5th, 1946 in Surrey (Age 78)
