In 2020 Margaret Howell RDI celebrated her five decades in the world of fashion design. Throughout those years, Margaret has kept to her abiding principles of creating elegant, classic and understated fashion through her love of tweeds, corduroys, linen, wool and cotton, all carefully selected to develop her sense of Englishness with her passion for muted natural colours and patterns. Mike Dempsey RDI recorded this conversation in 2007 in a rather busy and, at times, a little noisy space. Today Margaret has 94 stores across Japan, where her work is much loved. And her enduring championing of mid-20th-century industrial design has seen her collaborate with products from Ercol furniture and Anglepoise with her special editions of the classic Type 75 range of lamps.  Hosted on Acast.
