ABOUT KAREN MILLEN
Glamorous, distinctive clothing and accessories for the confident, uncompromising woman of today. We are known worldwide for our perfectly cut pieces, from on trend leather jackets to investment coats and occasion wear.
Our story
Started in 1981 by Karen Millen and Kevin Stanford, as an independent label uniquely positioned in the marketplace offering designer style at the top end of the high street, Karen Millen has since gone on to become an iconic global brand offering aspirational luxury at accessible prices. For Autumn Winter 2011 Karen Millen will celebrate 30 years of success having become the first global design-led attainable fashion label to emerge out of the UK.
OUR COLLECTIONS
All of our clothing and accessories are designed by our in-house Atelier which means that we continue to offer couture quality clothing at affordable prices, crafting investment pieces that become your cherished wardrobe staples and that can be worn for years to come. The Karen Millen collections embody the confident essence of the brand and continue to be contemporary and relevant to the modern woman’s wardrobe and lifestyle.
The 15 strong design team is headed up by Gemma Metheringham, joint Managing Director, who has been an integral part of the company since 1999. Both Gemma and the team are dedicated to the brand and work across all the Karen Millen lines including apparel, swimwear, footwear, accessories and jewellery, creating 12 collections a season with new items delivered in-store each week.
