Margaret Howell Autumn Winter 2011






A first look at Margaret Howell's AW collection for 2011. No surprises here, but then Margaret Howell isn't really the sort of brand that shakes things up much from season to season. No, this is more of what we've come to expect from the Wigmore Street designer: another big helping of classic, well constructed garments in beautiful cloths. I did notice, however, that Margaret Howell has finally jumped on the donkey jacket bandwagon, a full year after most of the other British fashion designers. Plus she's come up with what looks like a sheepskin car coat in the collection. This might be your chance to finally look like a 1970s football manager.

The Return of the Donkey Jacket






Forget "Oh No, It's Selwyn Froggitt". Forget the garb worn by bin men, and hod carriers, navvies and skinheads. The Donkey Jacket, re-imagined and updated by some of menswear's top designers, is back for winter 2010. It's smarter, made from finer fabrics, real leather and waxed cloth. And with a level of detailing our Selwyn could only dream about. Magic.
