Margaret Howell is a British fashion brand celebrated for its understated elegance, impeccable craftsmanship, and timeless design aesthetic. Founded by the eponymous designer in 1970, Margaret Howell is committed to a design philosophy of simplicity, quality, and functionality. Each garment is thoughtfully crafted using the finest materials and construction techniques, ensuring a perfect balance of comfort and style.
The brand’s most famous garment is the M025 jacket, the red corduroy jacket worn by Jack Nicholson in the film The Shining, which Proper Magazine points out was actually Nicholson’s own. The original jacket was auctioned in 2018 but the brand reissued it in brown and black in 2020. In an interview with Vogue in 2021, Howell said, “What I’m interested in is designing clothes for the working active lifestyle”
