KAREN MILLEN BACKGROUND

Karen Millen was founded in 1981 by business partners Kevin Stanford
and Karen Millen. With a loan of just £100, the pair bought
one hundred metres of white cotton and began manufacturing and selling
white shirts to their friends. A party plan network followed and in
1983 they opened their first store in Kent which was later followed a
few years later by branches in Tunbridge Wells, Brighton, Guildford and
London. The brand continued to expand throughout the nineties until it
was acquired in June 2004 by Mosaic Fashions Ltd. The Karen Millen team
produces two main collections and two transitional collections each
season - within each collection are eight stories that cover day, work,
occasion and week-end. Everything in the collections is designed
in-house from the lace used in the label's famed eveningwear to the
embossed hardware on the statement bags. In-house pattern cutters
complete the team and help to perfect the flattering fit for which the
brand is famed.

DESIGNER BRITAIN REVIEW
Karen Millen is a global designer
women's fashion brand dedicated to dressing confident, glamorous women
in polished, fun and feminine clothes. Karen Millen is upmarket yet
affordable, and probably the high street's women's clothing retailer of
choice. With their new online 'Shop the Shoot' feature Karen Millen
make it easier and fascinatingly interactive to source and buy the
brand's clothing direct from the published advertorial ranges in
British fashion magazines such as Vogue, Bazaar, Cosmopolitan and Elle.
Within the Style Notes section of their website, Karen Millen also
offer a wealth of interesting reading and insight on the latest
season's trends as well as holiday recommendations.
