Margaret Howell in Elle Decoration

I took this photograph of Margaret Howell in her shop on Wigmore St. Margaret is inspiring on so many levels and is a real heroine of mine. She has an effortless style, elegance and warmth. Despite having an incredibly successful business with 50 shops in Japan alone, she still brings in her own lunch and walks to work every day. Her minimalist, contemporary designs are based on classic British traditions and reflect her love of timeless fashion and her other passions, architecture and design..
