Margaret Howell
“I had always made my own clothes, so the enjoyment of choosing the fabric and adapting the pattern to what I wanted was my training. [But] The 4 Year Dip Ad course [in Art and Design at Goldsmith's College, London] was an invaluable training in colour, proportion and design." Graduating in 1969, Howell made accessories while job-hunting. In 1970 her hand-made beads were taken up by "Vogue" and, spotted in the window of Browns, led to a commission by costume designer Beatrice Dawson for a beaded vest for Elizabeth Taylor, then shooting 'Zee and Co' in London.
