Margaret Howell is always thinking about purity, simplicity — and democracy — when she designs, and this season was no exception. This collection of clean lines, durable fabrics and workwear silhouettes was aimed at bridging the post-lockdown gap between stay-at-home clothes, and back-to-work ones.
THE LOOK: Elegant and spare with lots of generous shapes in a palette of earth tones.
QUOTE OF NOTE: “I always take the same attitude to designing. The collections are casual, good quality and made for the lives we live today. When I was a teenager in the ’60s, there was this feeling of equality,” and that approach hasn’t changed.
KEY LOOKS: T-shirt dresses with a trapeze silhouette, cropped jackets for men and women, and a soft, unconstructed cardigan jacket.
TAKEAWAY: Instant style, and democratic fashion no matter a person’s size, shape or gender.
