The Karen Millen’s story of success is truly inspiring. Back in the eighties, with a very modest loan of £100, the then obscure graduate of Medway College of Art started her designer career by tailoring shirts to her friends. In a very short time her business grew from a shop in Maidstone into a recognisable brand, with many branches all around the world. Although since 2004 Karen Millen is not at the helm anymore, thus it had been sold to an Icelandic company, the philosophy of the brand remained untouchable. It still enraptures its she-followers by chick and elegant outfits, with interesting details, and quite often very sex-appealing snug cut, proclaiming style and femininity. The prices head in the direction of designer’s outlets, rather than high street shops, but unless you care about if not fashion, but your style, Karen Millen clothes is a good money investment. With their classic upmarket designs you can be sure that they will not become out of date in a season.
